Garfield described Peter Parker as somebody he can relate to while also claiming him as an important symbol to him since he was four years old He described his Peter Parker as an outsider, as someone hard to get close to because of him being dropped.While being interviewed by SFX magazine. Garfield also compared his Spider-Man as a metaphor for internet trolls with the comparison of his wise-cracking humor that he will have in the film.Garfield drew from his life experiences as inspiration for the role, revealing, "I was thinking of my history and thinking of the kid at school who I wasn't as strong as, who behaved badly to a lot of people – including myself – and who I constantly tried to stand up to but never had the physical prowess to". In comparison with the actor who originally portrayed Spider-Man, Garfield said he respects Tobey Maguire as an actor and that when he first saw Maguire play Spider-Man he "was blown away by his interpretation." Garfield confessed to The Sun and then even to Maguire when being interviewed to him in VMAN magazine that when he first watched the film Spider-Man when he was younger, he would recite Maguire's line in the mirror with his friend and the friend would joke to him that he would never be Spider-Man. After taking the role, Garfield studied spiders' movements and tried to incorporate them as much as he could, saying Parker is "a boy/spider in terms of how he moves, and not just in the suit." The actor then stated in Details magazine that he took Yoga and Pilates for the role of the film admitting that he wanted to feel more flexible than he has ever felt.On taking over the role Garfield explained, "I see it as a massive challenge in many ways.... To make it authentic. To make the character live and breathe in a new way. The audience already has a relationship with many different incarnations of the character. I do, as well. I'm probably going to be the guy in the movie theater shouting abuse at myself. But I have to let that go. No turning back. And I wouldn't want to".When first wearing the Spider-Man costume Garfield admitted to shedding tears and trying to imagine "a better actor in the suit".While on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Garfield described the suit as "uncomfortable" and admitted to wearing nothing inside the suit because of it being skin tight.When filming Garfield explained that he had four months of training and described his physical roles on stunts as terribly challenging and exhausting.
