Sneak Peek the original 'Rhino' episode from the 1960's "Amazing Spider-Man" cartoon series, following the news that actor Paul Giamatti will play Marvel Comics super-villain in director Marc Webb's sequel to "The Amazing Spider-Man", starting February 2013 in New York City.
Giamatti will join Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Shailene Woodley, Dane DeHaan, Martin Sheen and Jamie Foxx as the super-villain 'Electro'.
Principal photography will start in New York City for a two-week shoot, February 12 to 26, under the production title "Untitled Columbia Pictures Project".
The Rhino', aka 'Aleksei Mikhailovich Sytsevich' was created by writer Stan Lee and illustrator John Romita, Sr., debuting in Marvel Comics' "The Amazing Spider-Man" #41 (Oct. 1966).
A thug for hire working for an Eastern Bloc country, Sytsevich volunteered to participate in an experiment bonding a super-strong polymer to his skin. The bulletproof rhino-like hide, with two horns capable of penetrating plate steel, granted 'The Rhino' resistance to physical injury, explosions, anti-tank fire and temperature extremes.
A second comic book version of the character featured him wearing high-tech armor wielding a battle-axe with blades in the shape of rhinoceros horns.
