Spider-Man: 10 Reasons Sony Should Fire Andrew Garfield

3. He€™s Going to Get Too Old

He looks young now, but Sony€™s gruelling plans for Spider-Man would see an extended universe solely for Spidey and his associates. The actor is already in his thirties, so it can€™t be long before such a role is beyond plausibility. Parker is a high school kid in this franchise, so when Garfield€™s baby-face grows into mid-life adulthood, the franchise would be left dead in the water. Shared universes aren€™t going to die anytime soon, so it is imperative that studios retain actors for as long as possible - Garfield doesn€™t have that long left where he can fit into the Peter Parker role. Sony planned a number of spin off ventures for The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, with a Sinister Six movie, a Venom spin-off and at least two more Amazing Spider-Man films. With the third film already being pushed back to 2018 it would look as if Sony intends to stretch this franchise to span nearly a decade, and seeing as Andrew Garfield is 31 now, it€™s hard to see how he could play a young Peter Parker for that long.
