Andrew Garfield is one of the most exciting young British actors who has made a name for himself with The Social Network and Never Let Me Go.
Yes it has been a great eighteen months or so for the actor but his star is set to rocket even further next summer with the release of The Amazing Spider Man.
Garfield beat off a whole host of actors for the leading role of Peter Parker as the franchise gets re-boot with a new lead, and new love interest and a new director.
In the director’s chair is the beautifully named Marc Webb who takes over from Sam Raimi after he and Tobey Maguire departed a fourth movie.
The franchise is taken right back to the beginning with Emma Stone also on the cast list as Gwen Stacey.
A teenage Peter Parker grapples with both high school and amazing super-human crises as his alter-ego Spider-Man.
Spider Man is one of the most popular Marvel franchises that have been adapted for the big screen - and it promises to add some spice to a very exciting 2012 from a comic book movie perspective.
The Amazing Spider Man is released 3rd July 2012. Take a look at the first trailer for the movie:
