"I was so glad that Andrew Garfield got it. Just because he's an awesome actor. I mean as long as they give it to someone who is, you know, worthy of having that opportunity it always works out well. And I'm always happy to see when good actors get good parts."


With an all star cast that includes Andrew Garfield as Spider-Man, Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy, Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, Rhys Ifans as Curt Connors, Martin Sheen as Uncle Ben and Sally Field as Aunt May, The Amazing Spider-Man is set to be released in 3D on July 3, 2012!

I [frick]ing hate this dude, he sucks. Thank god Andrew got Spider-Man over this kid.
PaulRom - 4/6/2011, 1:03 PM
Andrew Garfield was the most obvious choice. He just screams Peter Parker everytime I see a picture of him.
rbfn04 - 4/6/2011, 1:04 PM
What's this deal I read abotu Gwen being a scientist of sorts in this movie? If so, facepalm.gif
Reasonnnn - 4/6/2011, 1:05 PM
^ A lot of fight in you, I like that.
Hellsing - 4/6/2011, 1:06 PM
this dude maybe the younger but Garfield was the better choice he's a awesome actor and just screams peter parker to me, hopefully he does well.

Swanky - 4/6/2011, 1:09 PM
Thank God! I dont hate that kid, but he is no Garfield
ThaMessenger07 - 4/6/2011, 1:11 PM
This kid is an awesome actor but Garfield was the better choice.

@ rbtn04: she is a scientist as in the way that Peter was a scientist when he was younger. Just science enthusiast.

Which is very true to the source material.

People are just blowing it out of proportion.
Cross - 4/6/2011, 1:11 PM
Anyones better than casting someone who looks like Justin Beiber!
revloveR - 4/6/2011, 1:14 PM
lol @ bleed the freak.
hippopotamusprime - 4/6/2011, 1:15 PM
It's too risky casting someone who looks too much like a teenager. You always run the risk that they will not mature in time for future sequels. It is easier to make a young man look like a teenager than to make a teenager look like a man. Garfield was a good choice.
naterator - 4/6/2011, 1:15 PM
um....praise all that is sacred this kid did not get the part. i still say frick the reboot
AlexDeLarge87 - 4/6/2011, 1:17 PM
rbfn04@ Dude she is a scientist!;)

"Gwendolyn Stacy went to Standard High School during her teenage years. She was known as the "beauty queen" in high school with her bountiful looks. After high school, Gwen enrolled in Empire State University where she majored in biochemistry."
Ryden - 4/6/2011, 1:19 PM
And he's ten times the actor you'll ever be you little squirt.
SupermansBeard - 4/6/2011, 1:21 PM
@hippopopotamusprime (jeez what a name)

I absolutely agree with you, tht's what I was trying to say when Garfield was first cast in this role and everyone was hating it.

@ALL did you all hear about that new Graphic Novel coming out called Pure Epicness where Iron Angel smites down the evil Grif?
breakUbatman - 4/6/2011, 1:22 PM
For your viewing pleasure

breakUbatman...awesome pic dude !!
ACira - 4/6/2011, 1:27 PM
I previously wanted Lerman to get the role, but now I'm glad Garfield got it instead, he was the better choice!

@IronAngel naww don't be mean to Grif, he may look like a blood thirsty beast in his pic but I bet he's a cuddly little teddy bear in real life, and he does post some wonderfully original videos!
BeeMo - 4/6/2011, 1:29 PM
Just ONCE . . . I would love to see an actor tell the truth about how they really feel concerning another actor getting the role they were associated with.

Hollywood isn't THAT honorable. Come ON!
Freshkicks1212 - 4/6/2011, 1:41 PM
@breakUbatman still [frick]ing hate that suit...still not feeling the reboot
THICKframes - 4/6/2011, 1:41 PM
Garfield was deff the best choice for this roll, even better then tobey. but out of all the other choices lerman would have been best runner up. hes not an amazing actor yet but the kid deff has potential to impress people in the future.
GUNSMITH - 4/6/2011, 1:44 PM
SO WHENS THE SECOND PERCY JACKSON MOVIE COMING OUT?
DarrkEvil - 4/6/2011, 1:44 PM
I wud like to see a Tobey Maguire cameo in this film :)
Freshkicks1212 - 4/6/2011, 1:46 PM
For some reason I hope that the movie fails as a big box-office flop....only then will they realize the shitty changes and decisions they made....but BTW I have nothing against Andrew Garfield, I think he is a great actor and I wanted to see more of him since The Social Network.
SupermansBeard - 4/6/2011, 1:46 PM
@ACira I know, I'm just saying, he's comicbookmovie.com's villain....I just want to be accepted. lol jk
breakUbatman - 4/6/2011, 1:57 PM
@ DarrkEvi, thans man

@Freshkicks1212 that seems to be the view of a lot of people, personallt I'll waiy and see what the movie has to offer. If its good thenno harm no foul.
Freshkicks1212 - 4/6/2011, 2:02 PM
@breakUbatman Hmmmm true that your view seems to be the best thing to do now.
Kiekan - 4/6/2011, 2:12 PM
@rbfn04: Apparenlty you've never read a single comic with Gwen in it. It generally helps to know what your talking about before you complain.

Just to clear this up, Peter meets Gwen in college, since they're both science majors.
Durango95 - 4/6/2011, 3:06 PM
yeah...um andrew garfield sucks. why couldnt they find an american actor. F.U.Garfield.
Durango95 - 4/6/2011, 3:07 PM
PS your suit looks retarded.
Ranger14 - 4/6/2011, 3:45 PM
rbfn04@ Emma Stone referred to herself as being a scientist in an interview, which technically isn't correct, so I have to wonder how well she is connected to her role then, but it is what it is. Could have been a brain fart.

Kiekan@ There are plenty of science majors out there. That doesn't make them a scientist, especially when you are still in high school and not even in college yet ;-)

superotherside - 4/6/2011, 3:53 PM
yahda, yahda, yahda, if this film is any ounce of good, it's still not going to ever be on par with thor or captain america!

take that sony us fan boys are coming for you:

@ Darkmatter I think 2012 is going to be the best year for comicbook movies hands down. But this year is still going to rock except for First Class.
rbfn04 - 4/6/2011, 4:29 PM
@kiekan a laboratory having scientist? No, don't remember that. College is one thing, a lab having scientist is another... Dirt-bike riding Spider-Mas is gonna fail so hard...
Justice - 4/6/2011, 5:48 PM
You know he's pissed iniside. I bet he's thinking inside, "Damn why the hell did he get the part, and not me? Damn him"! Ah too funny.
Justice - 4/6/2011, 6:14 PM
The only reason they picked Garlfield, becasue know knew the hell he was!
BIGBMH - 4/6/2011, 6:39 PM
Seems like a decent guy. It was cool of him to be a good sport about it. Personally, he looks more like Peter than Andrew does to me, but I can't really compare them acting wise. What's done is done. I hope Lerman does well in his career and I hope Garfielf delivers us a great Peter Parker.
SantiLu - 4/6/2011, 7:47 PM
Andrew Garfield looks just like Peter Parker, especially from Civil War
bilthebullet - 4/6/2011, 8:22 PM
I think Lerman could have been a decent Spiderman. I like how he actually looks like he is in high school. He was crap in Percy Jackson and Gamer, but I think that comes down to director. Chris Columbus likes things to be cute and is willing to sacrifice performance, and Neveldine/Taylor just love for things to look cool and actiony. If you look at 3:10 to Yuma he gives a great performance because Mangold (3:10 to Yuma/Walk the Line/Copland) is all about character development. Webb is such a good director and his films are so character driven, he would have gotten a great performance out of him. I'm still cool with Garfield though.
Gabe - 4/6/2011, 9:04 PM
He gave a great performance in 3:10, but I can't say the same for his other movies. Not to mention he doesn't rub me off right for some reason. Maybe I need to give him another chance.
Jolt17 - 4/7/2011, 12:51 AM
Keep him for ROBIN in a TEEN TITANS or what!

; )
MrBlueSky - 4/7/2011, 12:59 AM
Good thing Logan's being a good sport about it.
ArthurNumeriano - 4/9/2011, 6:34 AM
Damn, I hate that guy. He just [frick]ed up the Percy Jackson saga.
