Redmayne told MTV Splash Page, “There's noise with the internet of things that are true and not true. If I listen to all of it, I'd go slightly insane. I am a Spider-Man fan, I am indeed. Andrew Garfield is an old mate of mine from London. I think what he and Emma [Stone] did on that film was beautiful. So yeah, I am a fan.”
He added, “I love those films when they're done well. I loved watching Andrew and Emma in Spider-Man. I loved watching The Dark Knight Rises. There seems to be an audience now needing satisfaction beyond spectacle. From an actor's point of view, that makes it intriguing. I love going to see those films. I also like to shake it up -- I just did a musical. I don't like sitting in a box.”
