British actor Andrew Garfield will be portraying Peter Parker in the upcoming still-untitled 'Spider-Man' reboot by Marc Webb, but before the movie starts shooting, Garfield has two new movies coming out in the next month, Mark Romanek's 'Never Let Me Go' and David Fincher's 'The Social Network' and he also hopes to do some theater or other work before then too.
The Hollywood Reporter, was the first to ask him about getting the part of Spiderman:
"I have been waiting for this phone call for 24 years, for someone to call me up and say, "Hey, we want you to pretend to be a character that you’ve always wanted to be all your life, and we’re going to do it with cool cameras and cool effects and you’re going to feel like you’re swinging through New York City. Do you want to do that?" [laughs] “Let me just consult with my seven-year old self and see what he thinks...” So my seven-year-old self started screaming in my soul and saying, This is what we’ve been waiting for. Like every young boy who feels stronger on the inside than they look on the outside, any skinny boy basically who wishes their muscles matched their sense of injustice, God, it’s just the stuff that dreams are made of, for sure. It’s a true f*cking honor to be part of this symbol that I actually think is a very important symbol and it’s meant a great deal to me, and it continues to mean something to people. So yeah, I feel like I’ve been preparing for it for a while. Ever since Halloween when I was four years old and I wore my first Spider-Man costume."
Shooting starts in December for the untitled 'Spiderman' reboot.
