Sony wants us to be  hush-hush right now. I play a relatively small role. I play a  construction worker who&#8217;s son is caught in the middle of a battle  between the Lizard and Spider-Man on the Manhattan bridge. Spider-Man  helps me get my son back from this perilous situation. There is some  payback there at the end of the movie. Spider-man is kind of hurting. I  help him when all of the other people won&#8217;t. Part of the story is, the  nation thinks he might be a bad guy. They don&#8217;t know what to think.  Because of my experience on the bridge with my kid, I know he is a good  guy. I pitch in and help out at the end. That is the best way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Amazing Spider-Man<\/em> arrives in theaters\u00a0July 3rd, 2012. <strong>Marc Webb<\/strong> directs the cast that includes, <strong>Andrew Garfield,\u00a0Emma Stone,\u00a0Rhys Ifans,\u00a0Martin Sheen,\u00a0Denis Leary,\u00a0Chris Zylka,\u00a0Irrfan Khan,\u00a0C.
