Andrew Garfield dressed as his on-screen alter-ego Spider-Man to surprise children at a charity in London earlier this week (April 8).



The 30-year-old Amazing Spider-Man 2 actor donned the iconic blue and red webbed Lycra suit as he visited the charity Kids' City - a project which provides after-school care and activities for children living in Lambeth, Merton and Wandsworth.



Garfield, who also surprised theatre-goers this week by making a cameo appearance in a London play, played games and ran around the netball courts in costume with the delighted kids.



He also went on a tour of the grounds and later removed his costume to chat with the children before sitting down and eating pizza with them.



The Hollywood star is currently promoting The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the capital, in which he reprises his role as Peter Parker alongside actress Emma Stone, who returns as his on-screen love interest Gwen Stacy.



The Marc Webb-directed superhero sequel sees Spider-Man face off against new supervillains Electro (Foxx) and Rhino (Paul Giamatti), while also delving into the hero's rekindled friendship with Oscorp's Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan).

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will open in cinemas on April 16 in the UK and May 2 in the US. Watch Dane DeHaan and Marc Webb talk to Digital Spy about the film below:
