He's a symbol that was once portrayed by Tobey Maguire and now by himself, and he hoped the next person to play the crime-fighting superhero would be a "half-Hispanic, half African-American actor," referencing the latest incarnation of the character in the comic books.
Emma Stone, who plays love interest Gwen Stacey, told fans in Rio de Janeiro that Stacey and Mary Jane Watson, Parker's girlfriend portrayed by Kirsten Dunst in the previous films, are "polar opposites," while Rhys Ifans said in London that his character, Dr Curt Connors, who becomes the Lizard, has "a very complex and emotional" link to Parker.
After the cast addressed fans, Webb unveiled extended 2D footage from the film peppered with music from the Rolling Stones and Coldplay.
The scenes included Parker asking Stacey out on a date, Spider-Man humorously blasting a car thief with webs and the one-armed Dr Connors telling Parker that "your father and I were going to change the lives of millions".
