"I thought the movie was awesome, and that clip of Pav had been circulating for a month or so before the movie came out, and it is a very different take from what I'm trying to do."

He added:

"So when I saw the film, I was like, "I love this guy." I love this guy that they've portrayed, and within the context of the movie and within the realm of the movie, he's the happy-go-lucky Spider-Man. He's just having loads of fun being Spider-Man, and that's so cool. I love that he gets to have fun."
