So first of all, up until yesterday, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow was my favourite
girl in an action film, and then along came Gwen.
Awwww!
-She's amazing. -Really? I'm so glad.
Are you proud of her as a character because she's pretty awesome?
Very much, yeah. It was an honour to play Gwen, and I'm so glad that we were able to
kind of craft an independent lady who was following her dreams and ambitions in the
midst of this romance.
-I like how she's feisty. -She is feisty, yeah.
-Is she fun to play? -She's really fun to play, yeah.
According to Mark Webb, you play her with a real sort of zeal. He said that you sometimes
make things up and you challenge Andrew Garfield a bit. He said it's great to watch.
Oh well, I'm glad. I'm glad he said that. That's very nice.
He did, and speaking of girl love, whenever I Google you recently. Creepy.
-You're going to bring up the Spice Girls. -Yes! I get Spice Girls. All I see.
I think I've become the Spice Girls' unofficial mascot. I don't know if they're happy about
that or not, but I really like the Spice Girls and apparently that is public knowledge now
in a pretty big way.
I think people find it a bit adorable.
Well, they're the best. They're pretty great.
-I was right in the middle of their fan club era. -Were you?
Yeah, it was in my age range, and I was like yes! I want to be them.
Yes, because they're great.
So while you're in London, can you not track down Victoria Beckham and just hang out?
I mean, I don't know. I haven't tried. I think they're all pretty scared of me at this point.
But I have gotten to speak to Mel C yesterday on the radio, so that was really exciting.
So you've done B, you've done C.
B and C. The Mels. The Mels have been checked off.
-Tick tick. -We've got three to go.
Back to the film, can you tell me one thing about shooting it that might surprise fans?
I think a few things might surprise people, but shooting it, you know, it's always surprising
and exciting because you're on a green screen a lot of the time. You're swinging through
the air. There's a lot of elements that are not typical to any other movie, so it's always fun.
Do you get to do the action bits?
A little bit, yeah. Gwen is not that heavily involved in anything too actiony, and when
it was tricky, it would be Jen Caputo, my stunt double, who is incredibly strong and
brave. But I love to swing. I love to swing.
Emma Stone loves to swing. That's my headline.
Yup, there's your headline, and out of context it is really helpful and useful.
Very quickly, we're going to play a game called Worst Question Ever.
Yay!
First terrible question. If you had to be trapped in a spidey web net - I'm trying to
think of what the word is - with anyone, who would it be with?
-Um... -Jamie Foxx said Jesus.
Wow. That's a really big answer. How do I compare anything to that?
He said Jesus and Lil Wayne.
Wow. That would be a weird trio. That would be interesting. I would say Jesus and Lil
Wayne. Yeah, that's who I would also... That's so weird! He took my answer in advance. He
front-followed me.
Next one. This is a bit harder. What's the longest word we can make from the letters
in Spider-Man? I came up with pieman.
Pieman?
Andrew Garfield had like drips.
I am so terrible at Scrabble. I love to spell, but I hate doing anything with a time constraint.
So this is making me sweat and shake.
-Naps. -Naps?
Snaps.
No, because there's only the one S. Snap.
I thought I nearly had Simion, and it was really happy, but I didn't. It's a good story.
Spamidern?
Yeah?
Sorry time's up.
Sorry.
Alright.
