SPOILERS: 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Swings Into Production

Yes, it's a good year-and-a-half before the second installment of The Amazing Spider-Man is set to hit theaters, but that doesn't mean that people aren't already buzzing about the new superhero flick, in which Andrew Garfield, 29, and Emma Stone, 24, will reprise their roles as Peter Parker / Spider-Man and Gwen Stacy, respectively.

"I feel really excited," Garfield told E! Online about the new installment. "I feel like we got over a hump with our first one," he said, referring to the fact that the previous Spider-Man franchise, starring Tobey Maguire, ended only five years ago. "We had to reinstate the character, and we had to reinvigorate an audience to the character. And I hope to bring more of this theme — the theme of the orphan," said Garfield, who is active in charity work for the Worldwide Orphans Foundation.

"I want to keep exploring the theme of being fatherless, being motherless, searching for purpose and finding a purpose within himself, being a self-made man, I guess," he said.

In less heavy spoilers for the future, The Descendants and The Secret Life of the American Teenager star Shailene Woodley is reportedly in talks to come aboard the film as the new Mary Jane Watson — a role that was filled by Kirsten Dunst in the previous franchise. Garfield would neither confirm nor deny rumors that Jamie Foxx might sign on as the villain, Electro, but he did reveal a few spoilers about the Spidey suit.

"The suit is undergoing a redesign because I couldn't urinate in it last time. So I'm less nervous 'cause that's gonna be nice," Garfield joked.

The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which has started pre-production, is currently slated for theatrical release on May 2, 2014.
