Instead of continuing the story and doing Spiderman 4, Marvel decided to reboot the Spiderman franchise and start over. First on the list was getting a young actor to play the dual role of Peter Parker / Spiderman. It was the role that made Tobey Maguire a superstar, never mind that he already made 22 films before the first Spiderman film.
Andrew Garfield, a half American, half British actor who has experience in movies, television, stage and radio, will now be the new Spiderman in the still untitled movie scheduled to be released on July 3, 2012. It will focus on a teenage Peter coping with teenage life and his newfound powers.
A lot have praised Andrew for his wonderful work in the movie The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the last movie of the late Heath Ledger, and he definitely has more experience than Tobey that this early, expectations are high for him. As for me, I was a fan of the Spiderman movies and I just hope that the new one will at least be at par with the first three. I hope they won't mess it up, especially with a new director taking over Sam Raimi's chair.
