PARK CITY, Utah — Ever since Andrew Garfield was announced to star as Spider-Man in Marc Webb's big-screen reboot of the Marvel superhero franchise, all eyes have been turned to Tobey Maguire to see what his response would be. It's not so much that Garfield replaced Maguire as Peter Parker as that Sony, who produces the films, decided that the series would be better served if it followed the teenage version of Parker through his transition — you know, to tap into the "Twilight" teen audience. And thus, the yet-untitled "Spider-Man" prequel was born.
But there never has been any hard feelings between the two Spideys, at least publicly. The first picture of Garfield as Spider-Man hit the Internet on January 13, and it showed a different take on the famed suit than the one Maguire donned in the three Sam Raimi films. MTV recently caught up with Maguire at the Sundance Film Festival, and the former "Spider-Man" star said he has seen the new suit and liked what he saw.
"I thought it looked cool," revealed Maguire. "I mean, I think they did a great job with the design of it, and I'm excited to see it in action."
It's not the first time Maguire has voiced his approval of the "Spider-Man" prequel. During a December interview with BBC News, Garfield admitted that Maguire had reached out to him to congratulate him on the role and give him his backing.
"He sent me a lovely message through a mutual friend," said Garfield. "He gave me his support, and it meant a great deal, of course, because part of the reason I love and have continued to love this character was because of his portrayal. To step into those shoes is no mean feat. It was generous of him to reach out and say something, so I'm thankful."
The "Spider-Man" prequel is filming right now, and is set to be released on July 3, 2012.

Babies, babies and more babies. Mike Tyson joins the new-baby club after it was announced on Wednesday that the boxer and his wife Lakiha Spicer Tyson welcomed a son.
The boxer's rep confirmed the birth to People.com sharing that, "Morocco Elijah Tyson arrived Jan. 25 in Henderson, Nev., weighing in at 8 lbs. and 13 oz., and measuring 19 inches in length."
The couple announced they were expecting last September. It's the second child for the couple, who already have a daughter, Milan, 2.
Tyson and his wife married in June 2009 in Las Vegas. The wedding came less than two weeks after Tyson's 4-year-old daughter Exodus died as a result of an accidental strangling when she was ensnared in a treadmill power cable at the family's home in Phoenix.
"I'm just looking forward to trying to do this stuff right. Of course, you know, you — I want to do it right. I've been married — this is my third marriage. I want to do it right. I want to do it right," he told Larry King about his family life. "It's nothing like being a committed father. You have to be committed and dedicated. This is going to be something new on me, to be totally committed and dedicated to this situation."
In the same CNN interview, the boxing legend spoke about the loss of his daughter, Exodus, and how it affected him as a parent. "I had to grow up," he said. "I had an incident where I lost my daughter in some family accident at home and it was just a time to grow up and wake up."
