3 Essential Performances from Andrew Garfield, Your New Spider-Man
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009)
Terry Gilliam's comic fantasia received the lion's share of its attention for featuring Heath Ledger's final role, but overshadowed in the hubbub was Garfield's winning performance. As the handsome but gawky Anton, Garfield found himself going toe-to-toe with Ledger for the affections of the beautiful Valentina (Lily Cole), and he made their romantic rivalry an actual horse race: Ledger was charismatic as always, but Garfield showed the beginning glimmers of matinee idolhood. As Ledger teased him without mercy, it felt like the generous passing of the torch (although, in one ironic footnote, Ledger was Sony's first choice for the original Spider-Man, but refused to accept the role).
