Andrew Garfield: ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Tells A ‘Brave And Important’ Story

In one week, the whole world will have at its fingertips. Even now, many people across the planet have already seen the superhero sequel, thanks to its early international release.

Many of the fans who haven't seen the film yet can smell danger in the air. The collective consciousness' spider-sense is tingling. Something big and bold is about to happen in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," thanks to the electric combination of Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Jamie Foxx and the other all-star actors.

For now, the cast and crew involved in the "Amazing Spider-Man" sequel are keeping their lips sealed on the specifics. But star Andrew Garfield, without delving into spoiler territory, made it clear that he's very excited about what happens in his second film as the web-slinging hero.

"It's a big story," he told MTV News at the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" New York City premiere. "I'm glad we did it. It's brave and it's important."

Did what, Andrew? What's so brave and important? What are you driving at? The actor, to his credit, kept those secrets firmly in the bag.

"You don't want people to know, walking in, what they're going to be experiencing, as much as possible," he teased. "We're not in the age anymore where 'The Sixth Sense' can come out and people don't know that, in fact, Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time."

He winced: "Sorry if I ruined 'The Sixth Sense' for you. Case in point, my big mouth!"

Whatever it is that's coming up, Garfield is very proud of the work that he and ...

‘American Idol’ Recap: Alabama Three Dwindles Down To One

It was a tearful goodbye on "American Idol" on Thursday (April 24), as C.J. Harris was voted off the show. Following last week's dismissal of Dexter Roberts, Harris became the second Alabama Three member in a row to be shown the door.

Here's how Harris' elimination went down.

Harris Says Goodbye
As predicted following Wednesday's show, it was Harris' time to leave "Idol's" mortal coil. His performance of the Guess Who's "American Woman" lacked pizzazz and when he took on Zac Brown Band's "Whatever It Is" for his country song — which should have been his ace in the hole — it was a very "whatever" performance. With Caleb Johnson and Jena Irene racing to the top of the competition, the deep canyon between their performances and Harris' was evident, and voters noticed it too.

Harris knew it was his time. Before the results were read, Ryan Seacrest asked him if he wished he would have done anything different the night before. "I probably would have picked a better song choice," Harris said, a lump in his throat. And then Seacrest dimmed the lights and lowered the boom on him.

It was Harris' fourth time facing elimination, so it didn't come as much of a surprise. But the tears flowed as he sang his final song, Marshall Tucker Band's "Can't You See." Jennifer Lopez shed a few tears as well, as Harris and his castmates group-hugged in the middle of the "Idol" stage. Harris' mother joined in on the action as well, getting up onstage and saying she was proud of her son and his ...

Exclusive ‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Video Game Trailer: Watch Now

At this time next week, fans can swing into movie theaters alongside Peter Parker in But if that's too long of a wait, there's some wall-crawling adventure just around the corner, coming to a console near you early next week.

Activision's "Amazing Spider-Man 2" video game arrives in North America next Tuesday (April 29) on Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, PC, Wii U and 3DS, with several days still to go before the Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone-starring movie hits theaters. As a bonus, we have an exclusive first look at the "Amazing Spider-Man 2" video game's launch trailer. Check it out:

The trailer speaks with actions instead of words, allowing Spidey's high-swinging skills do all the talking. Beyond that, the "Amazing Spider-Man" trailer makes one thing very clear: Peter Parker has his work cut out for him.

Indeed, in the upcoming film, Parker has three villains to contend with: Electro, the electrically enhanced menace played by Jamie Foxx; Green Goblin, the genetically compromised alter ego of Peter's old friend Harry Osborn, played by Dane DeHaan; and Rhino, an armored-up Russian mobster played by Paul Giamatti. It can't get much harder than that lineup, can it?

Ah, it can. In the "Amazing Spider-Man" video game, Peter goes up against all three of those villains and more. The trailer reveals that some of Spidey's most notorious nemeses — including the ruthless criminal Wilson "Kingpin" Fisk, the deadly hunter Kraven, and the sultry thief Black Cat — are involved in the video game.

In fact, the trailer makes a big reveal: Carnage, the symbiote sociopath, is ...

Justin Bieber Was ‘All Smiles’ After Three-Hour Airport Questioning

It takes more than an hours-long grilling
 by customs officials to get Justin Bieber down. After being detained for four hours after landing at Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday, Bieber seemed no worse for the wear when he finally emerged wearing a smile and his now signature brown fedora.

According to reports, Bieber finally left LAX around 6:20 p.m. PT surrounded by four bodyguards after his two black SUVs and a van had waited for him outside the Tom Bradley International Terminal for hours. He had reportedly been grilled by customs agents during a secondary search in which they asked about his various open criminal cases, including his DUI case in Miami.

His message for fans after the incident? "Life is good."

Bieber was flying in on an Air Singapore flight from Tokyo, where he had been on vacation with his mother, Pattie Mallette, according to E! Online.

Hours after the incident he posted a picture of himself with manager Scooter Braun that was tagged as "#teamsexy."

The detention came just days after Bieber apologized for posting a picture
 of his visit to the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which honors former Japanese military leaders who committed war atrocities during the Pacific War.

It's not the first time Bieber has had a rough landing during his travels
. He was also questioned at New Jersey's Teterboro Airport on his way to this year's Super Bowl after officials searched his private plane for drugs
, which they did not find.

After Braun said he was looking forward to Friday after a long Thursday, ...
