Andrew Garfield interested in Ultimate Spider-Man movie with Miles Morales

In the Ultimate Spider-Man comic universe, Peter Parker's death gives rise to a new Spider-Man named Miles Morales. The webhead recently got a rebooted film series, The Amazing Spider-Man, with Andrew Garfield in the lead role of Peter Parker, but the actor revealed in a recent interview he would like to see an Ultimate Spider-Man movie, as well.

"I have given that thought," Garfield told Comic Book Resources. "Miles Morales was a huge moment in this character's comic book life. And I do believe that we can do that. It's something I'm really interested in figuring out; an eloquent way of coexisting, or passing on the torch. I don't have an answer, but I think it's actually a really important move. I think it's a really beautiful and important move." 

But would Garfield want to be involved with the Spider-Man movies long enough to portray an older Peter Parker?

"I want it to feel like a circle. I want the two ends to join, somehow," he said. "I don't know what that means, yet. I don't know what that means in terms of the quantity of Spider-Man movies I do. But I know that I don't particularly want to be a 40-year-old Spider-Man. [Laughs] I do know that time is fleeting." 

An Ultimate Spider-Man movie would certainly freshen things up and prevent yet another rehashing of Peter Parker's origin story, but would enough casual fans know Miles Morales or be interested in watching such a movie?
