Andrew Garfield admits that he is excited about returning to the role of Peter Parker in Spider Man 2.
The British actor took over the role of Spider Man earlier this year when the franchise was successfully rebooted by director Marc Webb.
A sequel was already in the pipeline before the film hit the big screen and Garfield is keen to explore his character more now that he has been reintroduced to audiences.
Speaking to E! News the actor said: "I feel really excited. I feel like we got over a hump with our first one.
"We had to reinstate the character, and we had to reinvigorate an audience to the character."
"I hope to bring more of this theme - the theme of the orphan... I wanna keep exploring that theme of being fatherless, being motherless, searching for purpose and finding a purpose within himself, being a self-made man, I guess."
The Amazing Spider Man grossed in excess of $752 million at the global box office to become on the biggest grossing movies of 2012.
The sequel is scheduled for a April 2014 released and shooting is expected to get underway next year.
