Andrew Garfield has revealed that he would like Peter Parker to be revealed as bisexual in the next Spider-Man movie.

The British actor - who will reprise the lead role in the upcoming Amazing Spider-Man 2 next year - debated that love interest Mary Jane could be re-imagined as a male character named AJ.

Garfield explained to Entertainment Weekly that he has had discussions with producer Matt Tolmach about the idea.

He said: "I was kind of joking, but kind of not joking about MJ. And I was like, 'What if MJ is a dude?'

"Why can't we discover that Peter is exploring his sexuality? It's hardly even groundbreaking! So why can't he be gay? Why can't he be into boys?"

When asked which actor could play AJ, he said: "I've been obsessed with Michael B Jordan since The Wire. He's so charismatic and talented.

"It'd be even better - we'd have interracial bisexuality!"

When director Marc Webb was asked about Garfield's idea, he simply responded: "Michael B Jordan, I know."

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will arrive on May 2, 2014. It will be followed by two more sequels on June 10, 2016, and May 4, 2018.

Garfield, Webb, Jamie Foxx and Dane DeHaan will be among the film's panel at Comic-Con International later this month.
