Andrew Garfield has been on the BBC speaking about his role in the new SPIDER-MAN movie. While not spilling too much information about the new movie, there are lovely musings from Garfield about stepping into the role of the webbed one, taking over the role of from Tobey Maguire.
“I’ve never met [Tobey Maguire],” Garfield said, “He sent me a lovely message through a mutual friend and he gave me his support and it meant a great deal because a big part of why I have loved and continue to love this character was his portrayal. To step into those shoes is no mean feat… It was generous of him to reach out and say something so I’m thankful.”
Garfield said that he has also shot two weeks of the new Spidey movie in Los Angeles, which we saw some set pics appear online back in mid-December.
There’s also some more footage of the actor talking about his roles in the movies THE SOCIAL NETWORK and NEVER LET ME GO, which is still yet to open in the UK.

In a separate interview for Capital FM in London, Garfield also revealed what he felt when he first put in the spandex for the huge role of Spider-Man.
“I have to kind of not look at my face because it doesn’t make sense to me. I have to imagine that it’s a much better actor’s face in that suit… I won’t lie. I shed a tear when I first wore the spandex. I didn’t think that the spandex would make me so emotional, but it did.”
