Garfield: "We're approaching this like it's Shakespeare, like a Greek myth, these comic book characters are our modern myths...
We still want to see our favorite characters on the big screen, and in 3D I might add. So for me it's just another chapter in the long history of a comic book story that means so much to so many people."
Q&A discussion after the footage screening.
Audience Q&A has started, Marc Webb talks about how they looked at the Ultimate Spider-Man series to reference body-type for Spider-Man.
Any hesitation about signing on? "I hesitated for a month, I was really scared," Andrew says. "I was scared of the crowds and I still am, but I couldn't say no to it ultimately."
Question for Webb about this being darker. Webb: "Darker is one of those loaded terms... I want the style to be grounded, I wanted you to recognize what you see on screen as our real world, and that goes for physical, aesthetically, emotionally."
Webb: "I don't use that term darker, but it's very emotionally complex, it's very rich and we're trying to create that in a very real and authentic way."
Garfield: "Peter Parker has been the one fictional character that I've feel I've related to... I bought my first Spider-Man costume when I was 2." "I've always felt close to it personally."
Garfield didn't speak to Tobey Maguire while shooting, but did speak to him after. He did get a message once he was announced as Spider-Man though and Tobey gave him his blessing. "It made me feel okay about jumping into it."
"I'm one of you, and I want to be out there watching and judging it," Garfield says. "It was incredibly fun, but I also felt the responsibility of it."
