Andrew Garfield insists he has been given the blessing of his Spider-Man predecessor before swinging onto the big screen in a re-booted Spidey spectacular.
Social Network star Andrew says Tobey Maguire has made it known that he is fully behind the re-working of Peter Parker and his superhero alter-ego.
“I had the wonderful fortune of meeting him, after we finished shooting,” explains Andrew, 27.
“I didn’t seek him out, but he sent a very, very, very nice email basically giving me his blessing. It meant the world to me because I respect him so much, as an actor generally, and especially what he did with the role.”
