Ladies and gentlemen, your new Spider-man is…

Andrew Garfield.

It doesn’t get more official than an announcement from SonyPictures.

That would be Andrew Garfield of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Social Network and Never Let Me Go.

Wow, Mr. Garfield. Talk about going from zero to sixty in one year! Sure, that’s a hyperbole, so I’m sure someone will pick on it. All I mean is this: It’s going to take a very short time for folks to go from “Andrew who?” to “ANDREW GARFIELD, heck yeah!”

Now I need to watch Parnassus again.

Two questions for you:

  1. What’s your all-time favorite actor/superhero casting match?
  2. And what, if anything, do you hope Garfield will bring to the character of Peter Parker/Spider-man that Tobey Maguire didn’t?
