In earlier set photos from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we've seen the Rhino (Paul Giamatti) face off against Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield), and getting pantsed for his trouble. New set photos show that the Rhino may be retaliating with some kind of exoskeleton. You'll notice that most of the Rhino's prison tattoos are gone, so this scene could takes place before the stuff we've seen, or other parts of the suit are coming to cover up Giamatti (no need to do the makeup if no one's going to see it). There are also some images of our hero hanging out with a kid dressed as Spider-Man. I don't know if that's an actor or a Make-a-Wish thing, but either way: adorable (although the latter has some sadness attached to the adorableness).

Hit the jump to check out the set photos. The film also stars Emma Stone, Dane DeHaan, Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones, Chris Cooper, and Sally Field. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 opens in 3D on May 2, 2014.Via SHH.

Here’s the official synopsis for The Amazing Spider-Man 2:

In The Amazing Spider-Man 2, for Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can’t come quickly enough. Peter hasn’t forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen’s father to protect her by staying away – but that’s a promise he just can’t keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
