This publicity shot of Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man in the webbed superhero's latest adventure is accompanied with the following stern warning to journalists and photo editors:
Use of the image MUST be accompanied with the following caption. The caption confirms that Spider-Man is wearing a black suit so it is understood that this is NOT a black and white photograph:
"You may think you're looking at a black and white photo. Look closely, Spider-Man wears a black suit in Spider-Man 3. Tobey Maguire returns in the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Spider-Man 3 coming May 2007."
