First Look: Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man)

Julie Taymor's 'Spider-Man' actors might be getting
seriously injured and
leaving the seemingly cursed production, but things are a whole lot better on the set of Marc Webb's 'Spider-Man' reboot film, where we're getting our first glimpse of
Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker.
The challenge for the 'The Social Network' co-star is that he not only has to look like the beloved webbed wonder, but also like a guy who can pass for a high school kid.
Tobey Maguire was the same age when he took on the high school gig in 2002 and that turned out pretty well. So all that's left is the look; it's not much, but is that guy to the left a good embodiment of Peter Parker?
The image, courtesy of Just Jared, show Peter and Gwen Stacy (a blonde
Emma Stone) kissing while sitting on some bleachers. It's hard to comment on Garfield's look, since Parker is just a kid in regular clothes, and this shot shows no spider goodness.
It's apparent, however, that along with rebooting the superhero for younger audiences, they're also going for the
Robert Pattinson 'Twilight' look with wildly disheveled hair.
If you've seen any of Garfield's previous work ('The Social Network,' 'Never Let Me Go,' 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus,' 'Boy A'), his talents are clear. But as David Fincher worried last August: "I can't imagine him in spandex. I can't imagine him being comfortable. He's a wonderful actor; he's incredibly skillful and empathetic and a lovely guy. So it's nice to see that."
