Make way for the new sticky-fingered hero.

Los Angeles-born actor Andrew Garfield, who grew up in England, will step into the spiffy red boots previously occupied by Tobey Maguire for what will be the fourth screen adventure for Spider-Man – also known as Peter Parker.

Something of a familiar (and handsome) face in the U.K. for his TV starring roles on Red Riding and Boy A, Garfield, 26, will be seen on the big screen this fall in The Social Network (director David Fincher's film about Facebook, also starring Justin Timberlake) and in the adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Last year, he appeared in Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.

From reports, Garfield's stiffest competition for the role came from Josh Hutcherson (The Kids Are All Right), Aaron Johnson (Kick-Ass) and the original Billy Elliot, Jamie Bell.

"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. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker," says Spidey 4 director Mark Webb, whose debut feature, (500) Days of Summer, developed something of a cult following last year.

The new movie is set to begin filming later this year, for a release in 3-D on July 3, 2012. Its story, Sony Pictures said earlier this year, will take the superhero back to his origins and focus on "a teenager grappling with both contemporary human problems and amazing super-human crises."

Wesley Snipes should be the new Peter Parker.

Wesley might be working on the chain gang if his attorney can't overturn that tax evasion conviction.

wesley snipes could play her too...

Andrew was surprisingly good in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Didn't have high hopes for Tobey's replacement but this guy will fit the bill perfectly I believe.

lol.........that's just wrong.

Anyone is better than bloody Tobey Maguire, who had all the personality of a dishcloth.

And that's being somewhat generous.

Kirsten Dunst was all wrong for Mary Jane. Mary Jane is supposed to be a supermodel.

Dude looks like George Michael in his WHAM! days

Finally! now we can get rid of that scumsucker called Tobey Maguire, his goofy face and his overacting; and hopefully the new Mary Jane will be an improvement over Kirsten Dunst and her moonface as well!

Goodbye to the fag-ass trilogy of Sam Raimi, full of bland CGI fights and forced "humor" THE NEW SPIDER-MAN IS HERE PEOPLE! too bad that (I predict) the movie will be a disappoinment in the box office, sort of...

Absolutely. Agree on all counts, although the 'fag' comment was kind unnecesary.

I just hope they have a new Mary Jane because the very unattractive Kirsten Dunst was a terrible choice

Dude, I wouldn't touch you with my friends barge-pole, let alone mine. But thanks for the thought.
