You feel like a little cog in a really big machine, which is so nice.
It makes it a little bit more pressure-less.
For me, it feels like theyare coming to seeSpider-Man.
Thatas what itas all about.Webb: But, itas been really fun.
I think thereas a real genuine sense of enthusiasm and curiosity, which is fun.
He fights for the little guy.
I think thatas a really important thing.
For me, there were a few things in theSpider-Mancomics that I thought were really interesting.
I like that this Peter Parker has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder.
InThe Amazing Spider-Man #8,thereas this moment where Flash and Peter are going at each other.
And then, of course, thereas the Gwen Stacy saga and The Lizard.
What we tried to do was find something very emotionally grounded, and that felt very real.
But, the greatest take-away was realizing that everything is so grounded in reality.
It doesnat matter how big the world is around you, or the blue screens in the background.
You are doing a scene between two people, and itas human and itas real.
Thatas a comforting thing, when youare in something thatas so seemingly daunting and itas such a big environment.
But, thatas one book, and this is 50 years worth of comic book material.
So, at the end of the day, I hope that people are satisfied.
It is a tough lesson, isnat it?
But, to adequately learn that lesson, you have to feel that really strong bond.
That was something that was fun about the relationship.
And then, in terms of Gwen as a character, sheas really smart.
Sheas got this scientific quality.
Their intimacy is such an incredible element.
Gwen has been in control her whole life.
She has to have an element of being smart because she has to be.
Sheas a valedictorian because she has to be.
She has to take care of things and be responsible for her family.
So, itas a pretty complex situation for Gwen.
There are competing ideas of whatas good.
When you have that, you just want to spend time with them.
There was a spontaneity on set.
I wanted to build a character.
Weare creating a different universe with different rules and a different tone and different villains.
I didnat read comics, growing up.
I watched a lot of movies, and those were my comic books.
So, it was the trilogy.
And then, my exposure really increased by becoming affiliated withSpider-Man.
I remember that there was a very specific moment, when we were screen testing with Andrew.
He was eating a cheeseburger that wasnat really in the movie.
It was just for the screen test.
And he moved in a way that felt adolescent.
I just watched it over and over again.
I couldnat stop watching it.
I just wanted to watch it, over and over again.
He will not reach for any kind of emotion that does not feel real or authentic.
Thatas an enormous gift.
Itas a very difficult thing for actors because theyare often asked to do things that are really crazy.
He could do that in a way that felt real, and I felt that was really exceptional.
Beyond that, he can do emotional depth and heartbreaking scenes.
Thereas a lot of tragedy in the movie.
You become increasingly aware of how rare that is, as you start to attempt to find that.
He has this chip on his shoulder.
That humor is something thatas so crucial and so part of the DNA of Spider-Man and the comics.
The nice thing is that Gwenas story is really through Peter Parker.
You very rarely see her outside of him.
And in a relationship thatas a first relationship, thereas levity and thereas heartbreak.
Of course, there are funny moments, and he really has a pretty incredible, hilarious sequence.
Itas pretty fantastic.Webb: Heas great.
