Andrew Garfield, star of box office hit The Social Network, will be beefing up for his new role as Peter Parker in the newest installment to the Spider-Man series, Spider-Man 4. London’s Daily Mirror even reports that he’s quit smoking in preparation. Good boy!

The report adds:

“He needs to be lithe and flexible for the role, and is working with a trainer on daily Pilates exercises. Andrew’s brother is a doctor so he has been giving him nutritional advice.”

Can I come take Pilates with him?

Garfield will have to be tip-top shape to fight off newly-cast villain Rhys Ifans of Notting Hill fame. Remember Hugh Grant‘s lazy roommate? That’s the one! It’s unclear which villain Ifans will be playing as of now.

Last week, it was revealed that Emma Stone would also be joining the cast as Peter Parker’s first love Gwen Stacy. It’s reported that Glee‘s Dianna Agron is also in the running for a role. She’s the perfect Mary Jane!
