According to Access Hollywood, Andrew Garfield, 26, has been cast as the new Peter Parker for the next installment in the "Spider-Man" movie franchise, Columbia Pictures announced on Thursday (7/1/2010).
Andrew will make his official screen debut as the legendary superhero on July 3, 2012, when the film hits theaters in 3-D. Production on the film will begin in early December.
Garfield has appeared in a few films, including The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, the project Heath Ledger was working on at the time of his death in 2008 and 2007's Lions for Lambs with Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, and Robert Redford. The young actor is also a part of the cast of the upcoming Facebook movie, "The Social Network," due for release later this year.
Marc Webb, who helmed (500) Days of Summer, the indie hit which starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, will direct the picture.
Tobey Maguire previously played Spider-Man in three installments of the franchise.
Wonder if this revamp will hurt or help the Spider-Man franchise.
