MUMBAI: Andrew Garfield is all set to reprise his role as Peter Parker aka 'Spider-Man' with director Marc Webb in the sequel of the superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man.

Also in talks to feature in the film is Emma Stone, the real life girlfriend of Garfield, as Parker's love interest Gwen Stacy.

The script for the new film is being penned by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci along with Jeff Pinker, based on an earlier draft by James Vanderbilt.

Webb, who first came to notice with his indie hit 500 Days of Summer, has successfully rebooted the franchise after director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire quit five years ago.

If all goes according to plan, The Amazing Spider-Man will start filming early next year. It is targeted to release on 2 May, 2014.
