In an alternate world, we'd have had Joe Jonas as The Amazing Spider-Man, but we're in the real world, and the actor lost the role to Andrew Garfield. Speaking to the Just for Variety podcast, the actor reminisced on auditioning for the role pre-2012 but discovered Garfield won the part instead.
Jonas had just starred in Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and a new Jonas Brothers series two years before The Amazing Spider-Man's release. Then in 2011, he released his debut solo studio album, Fastlife, so he thought it was a no-brainer to win the role.
