IAR’s Managing Editor Jami Philbrick speaks with director Marc Webb, and actress Emma Stone at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, California about the highly anticipated ‘The Amazing Spider-Man,’ which swings into theaters on July 3rd.

Emma Stone sure knows how to sell a movie to comic book geeks: just talk about pillow fights!

We caught up with The Amazing Spider-Man leading lady and the film’s director Marc Webb at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, Calif., where they revealed one of Stone’s favorite hobbies while filming the superhero flick (which hits theaters July 3), the aforementioned pillow fights. And listen up, fanboys: Stone may or may not have a special outfit she dons for the occasion!

So what did Stone have to say about the cast and crew’s pillow fights?

When asked about what the cast and crew did for fun while making the highly-anticipated film, Webb lists, “Dance party, massage circles, softball,” before Stone reveals her love for pillow fights. “The pillow fights were the best!” she enthuses.

Stone loves pillow fights so much that she apparently has a special outfit she wears! “You had the best pillow fight outfit,” Webb says. “It was unbelievable!”

Stone’s response? “Well, what can you do? I’m a lady that likes pillow fights. Who doesn’t?”

Have we mentioned how much we love her?!

While Stone avoided any talk of romance between herself and on-screen and off-screen beau Andrew Garfield, she says, “I think Andrew’s a great actor, so it was great to be his costar. It was very exciting!”

“I didn’t grow up with comic books, I’m not gonna lie,” admitted “Amazing Spider-Man” star Emma Stone when I caught up with her at WonderCon over the weekend. “I really, really wish that I did, because when you come to conventions you really wanna say that you [did].”

But I was happy she didn’t, because I find it annoying when actors fabricate a “geeky” persona just to appease fanboys. And who really cares whether she grew up reading “Spider-Man” or not? It’s a ridiculous “prerequisite” to begin with! What’s important is that Stone is a good actress, and (in the estimation of many) a terrific choice for the role of Peter Parker’s high school sweetheart Gwen Stacy in the upcoming reboot.

And anyway, she did her research.

“I was learning the story of Gwen Stacy before I auditioned,” she told me. “And then once I was cast, I was like, ‘oh my god, there’s 50 years worth of stuff to get through!’”

Also stopping by for a brief chat was director Marc Webb (“500 Days of Summer”), who assured us fans would be very happy with Andrew Garfield’s portrayal of the title character.

“Andrew cared so much about Peter Parker and Spider-Man that it became obvious,” said Webb. “And he’s an actor that has such emotional range – he can be deep and he can be funny.”

Emma Stone and director Marc Webb discuss the absence of Andrew Garfield at WonderCon, while promoting their new comic-based film, ‘The Amazing Spider-Man.’

Sony Pictures released the first official movie clip from the upcoming film “The Amazing Spider-Man” aka Spider-Man 4 from writers Steve Ditko and Stan Lee by director Marc Webb.

Sony Pictures International released a longer cut of the Amazing Spider-Man trailer, hoping to establish this franchise reboot for a global audience. And while this new take offers basically all that we recently saw, it does extend one or two sequences by a few seconds, and is worth a glance.
