On the Just For Variety podcast, Joe said this about not being cast after his audition:
“In the moment, you’re destroyed or you’re defeated. But you realize this person was brilliant.
I remember years ago I was up for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited and it was the year Andrew Garfield got it. Obviously, he was the right one.”
He went on to share more about the callback process:
“But I remember that was a big thing at the time, going back for callbacks. And the director [Marc Webb] used to be a music video director, so I was like, ‘I got an in here.’ But you know what? I love the process of auditioning and putting yourself out there and having to prove yourself.”
So did he don the Spider-Man costume during the whole audition process? Joe said:
“No, but I’m sure I had one that I would try on occasionally back in the day!”
