Spidey vs spidey!
Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire square up as we await a new Web-head to enter the ring!
An Op-ed by Steven Carter
With the recent news that the Spider-Man franchise is finally making it's way back to Marvel, (albeit with a few creative strings attached) we can now look forward to yet another reboot to the series with rumours of it being called the "Spectacular Spider-Man"! Sadly it seems, with new power must come new responsibility, and a new actor. Peter Parker seems destined to stay in High School forever as if stuck in a Groundhog day - like hell.
ANDREW GARFIELD - "The Amazing Spider-Man 1" and "2"
I liked Andrew Garfield. It's a shame that he is out, especially considering he was a childhood fan of Spider-Man. This would appear to be a somewhat controversial opinion to have in my circle of friends who tend to be in the Toby Maguire camp. When the first reboot happened back in 2012, I was the same. Shocked at the sudden departure of Sam Rami over "creative differences" and saddened that a perfectly decent (although surprisingly old) actor was being shunned for some guy from the "Social Network" movie. What went wrong? It seemed like a recipe for disaster.

Maguire's films had some of the best action scenes ever witnessed in a Superhero film |
Maguire nailed the character's dramatic beats |
Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker was more traditional and old-fashioned |
The original Spider-man trilogy are some of the highest grossing films of all-time |
