- Andrew Garfield ("The Social Network") is Peter Parker/Spider- Man, left by his parents with an aunt and uncle who must raise him when, for some mysterious reason, Mom and Dad never return. Naturally, he wants to know why.
- Emma Stone ("The Help") is Gwen Stacy, a very bright classmate who intercedes when Peter is bullied. Turns out she is not only smart, she is also resourceful, brave and clearly likes him.
- Rhys Ifans ("Anonymous") is Dr. Curt Conners, a former partner who had worked with Peter's father on cross-species genetics research.
- Denis Leary ("Rescue Me") is Captain Stacy, Gwen's father, out to catch that oddly dressed vigilante who is complicating things on the streets for the police department.
- Sally Field ("Brothers and Sisters") is Aunt May, a practical soul who keeps the home fires burning, even when Peter forgets to buy eggs.
- Martin Sheen ("The West Wing") is Uncle Ben, who should write the book on child rearing. He is the right balance of strict, funny and loving. Peter Parker is a lucky boy.
- C. Thomas Howell ("Southland" remember him in "E.T."?) is Jack's Father who watches that oddly dressed vigilante rescue his son Jack from certain drowning. He starts the heart-warming bit. ...smile...
When the film ended, we hung back, knowing how Marvel likes to add teasers, and sure enough, there IS one. That means we can look forward to a second installment. That makes ME happy!
