How Much Will Andrew Garfield Get Paid For Spider-Man?

Nooooooooooooo more tools playing spiderman.
 
I can't stand these wimps being spider-man. Maybe they can get paid to play Peter and Spider-man will be 99% CG. 
 
 

thats a good thing! they are concentrating on the film and not making it about the actors by getting an A lister to hog all the glory! good on ya marc webb! i have faith in this movie, i really hopes it shuts all the whiney bitches up and blows everyone out their seats! 

Maybe money played some part in them choosing him. I mean some of the other candidates were more famous, at least I think so, so they probably had bigger salaries.

Am I the only one who feels that this boy looks more like Harry Osborn then Peter Parker? Perhaps it's the poofy hair.
 
@Rich-Man:
Quite honestly. The more I hear about this movie at the next X-Men movie. The less I begin to care.

Heck yea I would, but I would then suffer them same fate as Donald Glover......
 
let's face it the guy is 26 and is being offered 500G's for a leading role! As long as he plays his cards right he could have a very bright future ahead of him, hopefully he can act because I have never seen him in anything before.

Yeah i would do anything for $500,000 if you don't you're just greedy and rich

Andrew Garfield is a good choice, maybe they should pay him more.
But since he's petty unknown, that amount of money is probably reasonable.

"Am I the only one who feels that this boy looks more like Harry Osborn then Peter Parker? Perhaps it's the poofy hair."

The pay is probably calculated by a computer. They punch in the number of movies he's been in before, and the average revenue those movies made, and his pays on said movies and press a button. Then they remove 15% and make him an offer. So I'm gonna assume 500 000$ is a pretty standard deal for a relatively unknown actor starring in a possibly major movie series. 
 
I wonder how much the Harry Potter cast made on the first movie..?

Well, Charlize Theron was paid with 500,000$ before the Oscar but after the Oscar she takes millions.

This guy is going to be a huge star from this movie, and they are cheaping out!  I love it!  So many better choices out there for Peter Parker!

Wasn't Toby McGuire a nobody before he did Spider-man? I never liked the original Spider-man trilogy to begin with, I felt it was too childish and hope they give it a better tone this time around. Kinda like a Dark Knight kinda feel. 

I just hope this flick has better CG effects and all than the previous 3 have had. It looked horrible.
 
Oh, and more wisecracks.

If you actually read some of the films he's been in and some of the people he has acted against, you can see he has been a seriou sactor and isn't in it for the fame or money, that he is only trying something different to challenge him.
 
Give him a chance; alot of the people commenting here haven't seen him act or even let him have a chance. He can't be as bad as Tobey was on the last one or even any of the other Spider-man films.

Heck yes, I'd play the role of Spider-Man for $500,000!

 Would you play the role for $500,000? yes  

You pay me half a million and I'll be whatever role you want...minus porn.

More power to him, I say. I really don't have high hopes for this movie (or the X-Men First Class movie either for that matter). If they do well, good for them. I personally hope they fail. Fail so hard that Marvel can buy them back so we can actually get a good Spidey or X-Men movie. Don't get me wrong, I liked Spider-Man 1 and 2, but I'd feel better if the people behind the films knew what they were doing for a change. I know that's a long shot, but I could dream right? lol

He doesn't deserve to play this role. Nobody does. Except Tobey Maguire.

The people who worked very hard on the first SPIDER-MAN wen't through 20 years of development hell and now all their hard work will be thrown away. It's sad. 
 
And I can't stand another british actor!

people should stop calling it spiderman 4... it's a reboot, not a sequel... and yes i would play the role for that amount of money, allthough my acting skills are wort far less o.o

Ship, yes! i would play the role for 500,000. Spider-man is a straight ticket to the top. Who the fudge was Tobey Maguire before Spider-man? NOBODY! Hell i still have problems remembering his name even with his fame 
 
So yes! I would play it for 500,000 It will open many doors for this dude

I'd play it for free

lol only $500,000 he must wear some expensive underwear...

i would play spider man for free just cause it would be awesome

The amount of SFX that would logically be needed for a Spider-Man film makes me nervous about the budget for this one. The SFX for the last three Spider-Man movies were awesome, so either the action is going to be downed down or it just isn't going to look as good since they'll cut corners. Hmm.
 
Also, while nothing much for a huge actor, damn, $500,000 is a pretty good paycheck.

no offense, but this guy sucks.

But in my post I forgot to continue.
 
The problem with Spider-Man isn't the fact that they need to portray him as a sensitive bookworm, just as it isn't that they need to portray him as a powerful, kick-ass superhero. The problem is that they need him to be both, in the same person. They need someone who can be the smart guy who gets picked on in school and be the badass leaping all over the place, kicking the crap out of people and spouting quippy one-liners while doing it. If Sony can find someone to fill both roles with balance and equality, they'll have the perfect guy for the movies.

@Dro:

I am just wondering if the will go Ultimate Spiderman route or reboot and stay along the lines of the classic Spiderman.  I would do it for 500k though knowing that it would open up alot of doors for me worldwide.

Seems fair. If he does well, it will give him a major boost to his career.
 
For me, it would never be about the money. I know it is easier to say that than to do it, but I am sure.

If you think about it, acting really isn't that hard of a job compared to most nine-to-fivers out there. You basically get paid to play around. So with that in context, $500,00 is a ridiculous amount of money, not to mention the 1 and 2 mill.  
 
So yeah, if I had the part I would gladly take $500,00. Besides, it's not just the cash, it's the fame that comes with it, and then more cash comes with the fame and so on and so on. . .
