ANDREW Garfield is delighted with his new role in the Spider-Man movie franchise — and is glad the producers didn’t pay attention to his early career!

The actor, 26, is to play the new spider-powered Peter Parker in a reboot of the franchise, notwithstanding the odd blip on his CV.

“They clearly hadn’t seen my performance as Romeo at the Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre,” says Andrew. “God, I thought I was dreadful in that — and I wasn’t the only one!

“I just couldn’t get the right take on Romeo, however much I tried and tried. I really want to do at least one more Romeo and Juliet to get it right.”
