Andrew Garfield On Tobey Maguire And The Spider-Man Legacy!

The actor talks a little about what it's like to follow in the footsteps of the last actor who portayed Peter Parker and contemplates what it might be like to mess it all up...

The British actor had this to say in an interview at the 'Young Hollywood Panel' in LA. (the video can be found by clicking on the link at the bottom of this page) With production set to start in the next few weeks, this might be the last we hear from Garfield for quite a while!



"This is a beloved character and, you know, ironically, I’m gonna be the person in the audience going...'Who cast this English fool?'"


That is something that I tell myself every night before I go to sleep: 'It's OK. It’s OK. Even though Tobey Maguire is genius, you are OK.'"


I think that it’s just another step in the legacy. And then after I do it and mess it up, someone else will come and save the day and do a fantastic job and I’ll be old and fat and bearded and smoking and upset that he’s so good."


Directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans; the currently untitled Spider-Man reboot is set to be released on July 3, 2012!
