Andrew Garfield feels'like a kid in pajamas'in his'Spider-Man'costume

With all the controversy surrounding"Spider-Man"on Broadway, it's easy to forget there's a brand-new film version in the works.

In fact,ColumbiaPictures' andMarvel Entertainment's"Spider-Man"reboot has already started filming with"The Social Network"starAndrew Garfieldin the title role, oppositeEmma Stoneas his pal and love interest,Gwen Stacy.

Garfield revealed toThe Guardianthis week that he's already had to wear the classic red-and-blue costume, which made for a surreal experience.

"I feel like a kid in my pajamas,"he told the paper'sJason Solomons, before giving a more serious response.

"I can only say how it feels and it feels pretty special. It feels like a dream realized and a fantasy realized,"Garfield, 27, said."I don't take it lightly and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to wear spandex for the next few months."

Garfield also discussed the challenge of playing a high-school version of the character. The prior film series, starringTobey Maguirein the title role, also began in high school but progressed into college.

"I think Spider-Man needs strength, butPeter Parkeris still a teenager, you know? That's a very tender balance to figure out,"he explained."It's very specific what we're trying to achieve in terms of body type and the feeling of that."

While production has stopped in observance of Christmas, Garfield said he expects the shoot to last"at least four or five months."
