Andrew Garfield will be battling evil foes in the upcoming “Spider-Man” franchise reboot, and the actor can now count on the original web-slinger, Tobey Maguire, to root him on.
“I’m really excited,” Tobey told Access Hollywood at the Sundance Film Festival when asked about the new Marc Webb-directed movie with Andrew and Emma Stone.
“I think Marc Webb is an exciting filmmaker, Andrew is a great actor,” Tobey, who is promoting his new movie “The Details,” said at the annual winter film festival. “I’ve been a fan of his. I saw ‘Boy A,’ which I loved, a bit ago… and, of course, ‘The Social Network.’”
Adding, “I’m a fan. I’m excited to see what they do.”
Garfield previously told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush that the sight of himself in the iconic costume blew him away.
“I’m not going to lie, I’m kind of excited by that!” Andrew said on the Golden Globes red carpet earlier this month when Access showed him a photo of himself in the red and blue suit. “It’s ridiculous and surreal… I’m really kind of humbled by it.”
The “Spider-Man” reboot is slated to swing into theaters in July 2012.

Hauritz Excited by Call, but Doherty 'Shafted'
Nathan Hauritz was relieved to learn of his World Cup selection after being left on the outer for the duration of the Ashes. Hauritz is the sole specialist spinner in the 15-man outfit after the selectors overlooked Xavier Doherty, the left-arm orthodox from Tasmania.
"There were still thoughts in the back of my head that it might not happen," Hauritz said at the SCG. That's because it has been an incredibly bumpy summer for Hauritz.
He was Australia's Test spinner in India but was overlooked for the Ashes, despite being the most successful slow bowler since Shane Warne retired in 2007. "It's definitely a great deal of relief to be selected," he said. "Generally it's not good news but the last week it has been good news from the selectors. It's a like a phone call you get from your mother, sometimes it's bad news, sometimes it's good."
Hauritz is now happy in his role as the only specialist, but he will be supported by Steven Smith, David Hussey and possibly Michael Clarke at the tournament starting next month. "Obviously it was disappointing not to be part of that Ashes but it's fantastic to be part of the World Cup squad," he said. "I'm extremely excited."
This time it is Doherty's turn to feel the pain after his card was marked when he went wicket-less in Sunday's ODI win over England. It was his third ODI, with all four of his breakthroughs coming on debut against Sri Lanka. Last month he was dropped after being ineffective in his opening two Ashes Tests.
George Bailey, the Tasmania captain, said Doherty had been Australia's best one-day spinner on the domestic circuit for the past two or three years. "He's obviously performed really well in the few chances he's had with Australia, and then he's just basically shafted," Bailey told AAP.
Bailey pointed the finger at selectors for sending "mixed messages" over how Doherty should be bowling. "Then when he's told he's not in the team, he's given very little direction to come back for us," he said. "And this is not just Xavier, but I think all players that are dropped out of that Australian squad. I think communication from the top to players coming back is pretty ordinary."

Meg Ryan Excited to Be Back in the Spotlight
Meg Ryan isn't just loving the attention of her new boyfriend, rocker John Melllencamp, she's also enjoying being back in the public eye more than two years after her last major film release, the star-studded 'The Women.'
"Meg couldn't be happier," a friend of the actress tells me. "Not only has she got a great new guy, she's back in the headlines. It's not easy going from being one of the highest paid actress in the world to an anonymous New Yorker. Meg's loving all this attention again."
The newly formed couple hasn't exactly been trying to hide their love as they stroll through [New York's] West Village or spent time on Martha's Vineyard. And now insiders tell me the two of them are even in talks with a major magazine to do a photo shoot together.
"Meg would much rather be back on the cover of the magazines announcing a hit new movie but unfortunately that isn't the case," an insider tells me.
The 49-year-old beauty is fully aware how the world of celebrity has changed since she was burning up the box office in landmark hits like 'Sleepless in Seattle' and 'You've Got Mail.'
"Now folks are much more interested in your private life than if you have a hit movie," the insider says. "Look at Kate Gosselin or Kim Kardashian, they are always on magazine covers talking about their love life."
Welcome back, Meg. But please, please, please don't become the new Kate Gosselin. Please.
