Sony announced today that Andrew Garfield will be the new Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot. Don’t know who he is, don’t worry you are not alone. The 26 year old British actor was seen in Lion for Lambs and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Didn’t see those…don’t worry not many people did. So Sony went with a no name who I am sure will be a name when Spider-Man 4 comes out in 3D on July 3, 2012. That’s right they have exactly 2 years to make him a name that we all know and they will start with The Social Network. The actor was in Cancun for a Sony press day for TSN and according to the
Heat Vision Blog shortly before the press conference today he was told he landed the role. SM4 director Marc Webb had this to say about his star, “Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor’s work understand his extraordinary talents. He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit and humanity.” We shall see. For now I will say he has the look, but until I see him act in something I will hold off saying they made the right choice casting him.
