The following is my own transcript for the audio interview (which cannot be embedded) and is as accurate as possible. You can hear what the actor had to say for yourself by following the link to The Guardian's website at the bottom of this page.
On Shooting The Movie:
"We started shooting two weeks ago, we have Christmas off and are then back into it for a fair bit of time. I'm going to have to hibernate into this character for at least four or five months."
On Whether He's Tried On The Suit And What It's Been Like:
"I have! I feel like a kid in my pyjamas. I can only say how it feels and it I feels pretty special. It feels like a dream relaised and a fantasy realised and I dont take it lightly and feel very, very lucky that I get to wear spandex for the next few months!"
On Training For The Role:
"Strength! I think Spider-Man needs strength but Peter Parker is still just a teenager. That's a very tender balance to figure oout. It's very specific of what we're trying to achieve in terms of body type. Rest assured there are a lot of people who are helping me with it in that respect!"
The untitled
Spider-Man reboot is set to be released on July 3, 2012 in 3D and also stars Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors/The Lizard. The movie will be directed by Marc Webb.
