Andrew Garfield Comments on Tom Holland Playing Spider-Man
Say what you will about Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man films, but I thought Andrew Garfield was great in the role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. I was actually kind of bummed out when I first learned he wouldn't play the role again.
Tom Holland is the new young actor stepping into the shoes of the web-slinging superhero, and we have yet to see what that's going to be like. Playing Spider-Man was a dream come true for Garfield, but he's not bitter about being replaced. In an interview with ET Online Garfield was asked about Holland taking on the role of Spider-Man and he said,
"It feels lovely, especially because Tom Holland is a really, really great actor. He was in this movie The Impossible and he was just this incredibly powerful, sensitive, just wonderful young actor. And [he's] a dancer, so his body’s the right [form]. I'm just really excited to just be a fan again as opposed to bearing the weight of it."
He goes on to say that he can't wait to see Holland's performance. I think that goes for all of us! I'm really hoping that we get to see out first look at Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War at the D23 Expo this weekend. I know it's a long shot, but Marvel might surprise us!
