Q: How do you handle being a good guy and a dark guy in this movie?

Toby: First of all, I don’t really look at it like a good guy or a bad guy, although he does make some choices that I think are going to be a little shocking for people, and fans will be surprised at Peter going down that road. This is something Sam (the director) and I worked a lot on because we don’t want to lose the audience caring for the character, but we do want to push it. We don’t want to make it too scary, we want it to be dark, but still have some humor and some fun with it. So we’re constantly working on the exact tone of it. I had a lot of fun doing it as an actor. There’s a different side of Peter Parker.

Q: Do you ever think about life after Spiderman?

Toby Well first of all, if I don’t want to do more movies, I don’t have to do anymore movies. So that’s up to me, which wasn’t necessarily up to me before this film, because I was contracted to three of them. I’ve had a great time doing them, I’ve enjoyed it and I’m glad I’ve done all three movies. We may make more of them or a fourth one, if there’s a story worth telling and a right team of actors and Sam is on board, then I would consider doing a fourth one.

Q: How did Spiderman change your life?

Toby: A lot of things changed in my life. I can’t exactly attribute certain things in my life to that. I think everything affects everything. But certainly I’m more recognized. At first, I was a little less comfortable with it. It was a little harder for me to function normally publicly. But really, I’ve just gotten more comfortable with it and I don’t really sweat it as much anymore.

Q: How would you react if a girl said no to marrying you?

Toby: I just couldn’t imagine! It just wouldn’t happen to me! (Laughs) Maybe I would careful and make sure what I knew the answer would be before I asked.

Q: What about the ring in the movie? I heard it was made by your fiancée?

Toby: TShe made the locket. Kirsten wears the little heart locket in the movie and she made that. She didn’t make the ring.

Q: What do you think is the themes are behind this movie – it seems to be revenge?

Toby: Yeah, I think vengeance, forgiveness, there’s the big theme of the franchise with great power comes great responsibility which I think is a blanket idea of having - Peter’s learning lessons in each movie, they may be slightly different lessons, but they can all fall under that umbrella. I think there are a lot of themes running through the film and it all depends what you get from it, I guess.

Q: There are three villains in this film, and maybe even four including you, the dark side, did you have a favorite?

Toby: Including me, I would probably have to say me.

Q: Did you like playing the villain?

Toby: I had a good time doing that. It was more of an internal battle. Building his story arc was fun in terms of the villains outside of myself, I think they are all so different and I appreciate them for what they are. Sandman was a villain from the comic books that I always wanted to see in a Spiderman movie. I was really excited about that. I think we tied him into Peter’s story line very well. Terry Osborne that was the cliff hanger from the second movie. That one was probably the most emotional.

Q: Do you have a mean wild side like your character?

Toby: I don’t know, I guess you have to ask that question to people who know me personally. I’m a whole person so I’ve got all kinds of stuff going on. I don’t necessarily present it to the press.

Q: Is there a significance of Peter Parker getting rid of the dark suit in a church?

Toby: The setting we felt would be dramatic and would have certain weight, but I don’t think anybody thought it would have a specific comment.

Q: Are you going to take a break from acting now that you’re a father?

Toby: I want to work and I also love being dad, so I’m going to figure it out as I go and try to figure the right balance. I did kind of clear out my schedule right when she was born for a little bit, so I could be really present. And I’m away from the house now working, so you just have to find a good balance.

Q: You’re 32, and you still have a boyish face, is that a hindrance in your career?

Toby: I think definitely, I look however old I look and that’s going to exclude me from certain parts and give me the opportunity to do other parts. I don’t feel like it’s been a hindrance in anyway so far, I do think that historically the meatier roles are for people in their thirties and forties, so in that way, I have that to look forward to it. But I feel very fortunate with the films I’ve gotten to work on.

Q: Would you like your daughter to enter the industry?

Toby: Well, she’s three and a half months old so not for a while. She can do whatever she wants to do.
