In a video interview with BBC News, the actor was once again quizzed about getting to play Spider-Man, and while the majority of what he had to say was similar to what we've already heard (comparing the comic books to Greek mythology and talking about being a longtime fan of the character) he was also asked about getting Tobey Maguire's blessing and what it's been like to film in 3D. What follows is my transcript of those parts of that interview.
On Whether He's Had Any Contact From Tobey Maguire:
"I've never met him. He sent me a lovely message through a mutual firend. He gave me his support and it meant a great deal of course because a part of the reason I loved this character was because of his portrayal. So to step into those shoes is no mean feat. It was generous of him to reach out and say something, so I'm thankful."
On Whether Shooting In 3D Makes A Difference:
"Luckily nothing really. I don't ever watch playback or ever go to the monitors and watch what I've done because I get very self conscious. I like to not know what my eyebrows are doing or the stupid thing my nostril is doing or whatever. The difference is is that the monitor is 3D so you've got the director and the producer and the writer there with their silly glasses watching the scene play out in 3D."
The untitled
Spider-Man reboot is set to be released on July 3, 2012 and also stars Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans.
