Andrew Garfield, who plays Peter and his superhero alter-ego in next summer’s “The Amazing Spider-Man,” said Friday at the Comic-Con fan convention that his take on the Marvel Comics icon is a departure from Tobey Maguire’s, which concluded just four years ago after three films.

Sony Pictures was giving Comic-Con fans a preview of its new story about how nerdy Peter transforms into the agile crime fighter.
