It appears that Andrew Garfield may have been disappointed about how the "Amazing Spider-Man" films turned out. The actor revealed that he was "heartbroken" by how the creators of the film did not prioritize Spider-Man as a character and that movie was more driven by the "corporate enterprise."
In a candid interview with Variety, the 33-year-old actor gave his honest opinion about the "Amazing Spider-Man," in which he played the leading role of Peter Parker. "I signed up to serve the story, and to serve this incredible character that I've been dressing as since I was three, and then it gets compromised and it breaks your heart," Garfield said.
According to Garfield, the character and the story of Spider-Man was not the top priority of the producers. Instead, he explained that he felt like he was just one piece in a massive corporate machinery.
Garfield further explained that seeing how the character was compromised in the films left him heartbroken to a certain degree. He initially signed up for three "Spider-Man" movies, but dropped from the franchise after "The Amazing Spider-Man" performed poorly.
"There were great things about it, I got to work with incredible actors, a really great director," NME quoted Garfield as saying. "I learned a lot about what feels good and what doesn't feel good, and what to say 'yes' to. There's something about being that young in that kind of machinery which I think is really dangerous."
Since his stint as the web-slinging Spider-Man, Garfield has gone to portray more serious movies roles such as the 2014 drama "99 Holmes" and Martin Scorcese's Oscar-buzz movie "Silence."
However, Garfield was not the only one with complaints about working in a superhero film. Amy Adams, who stars in the upcoming alien film "Arrival," said she was disheartened by how very little detail goes into Lois Lane in the films.
"I love playing her, I love everyone I work with, but sometimes it's tricky because I feel like she's in service of the story instead of the story serving the character," Adams said about appearing as Lois Lane in "Batman v Superman" and "Man of Steel."
In the meantime, Garfield will appear in the upcoming epic "Silence," which will be out in Dec. 23.
