[quote]The world has a new web slinger.
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.
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.
Marc Webb, who helmed "(500) Days of Summer," the indie hit which starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, will direct the picture.
The director said in a statement that fans will be pleased with Andrew's casting.
"Though his name may be new to many, those who know this young actor's work understand his extraordinary talents," Marc said. "He has a rare combination of intelligence, wit, and humanity. Mark my words, you will love Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker."

So basically, the new Spider-Man installment will be about rebooting Peter Parker back in high school, right? Developing his powers and all.
Meh. I'm not really a fan of movies if they change the original actor/actress. >__< I mean, yes, they need a younger-looking Peter Parker, but still. Couldn't they just make another movie of Spider-Man that's NOT a prequel? :\ I still want to see Lizard as the villain! Or Carnage. :<
