Joe Jonas auditioned for the role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man back in 2010, and while he admits to being destroyed when the role ultimately went to Andrew Garfield, he holds no regrets. And even though the franchise made over a billion dollars from its box-office collections, Jonas still holds his head high, not for the lost opportunity, but for the experience learned.
Joe Jonas is an American multi-talented artist who has made his mark as a singer, songwriter, and actor. The pop rock group he created with his elder brothers, Nick and Kevin, is the one for which he is most well-known, the Jonas Brothers. The Jonas Brothers had great success in the 2000s, putting out multiple hit albums and hosting their own Disney Channel series, Jonas.
Joe Jonas Swings for Spidey but Webs Go to Andrew Garfield
Even if Joe Jonas isn’t exactly a spider web thrower on TV, he doesn’t harbor any resentment. He remembers his audition for the lead part in the 2012 movie The Amazing Spider-Man, which eventually went to Andrew Garfield on a podcast via Us Magazine. Even though the movie franchise made an incredible $8.9 billion at the box office, Jonas is not sorry about the chance lost.
“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. 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.”
The web-slinging responsibilities were meant for Garfield, despite Jonas’s intense love for the part, and he accepts this with grace. Fans of Garfield’s eccentric and passionate interpretation of the web-slinging hero agree with this sentiment. Even though Jonas may not have taken on the role of Spider-Man, it’s obvious that his acting career is only getting started.
He is demonstrating his versatility and commitment to the profession with his part in the upcoming military drama Devotion. Therefore, even though we might not witness Joe Jonas flying between buildings while sporting red and blue tights, his acting career seems to have a bright and interesting future. Even while the Spider-Man franchise’s billion-dollar movie office gain may have been alluring, Jonas’ career in the field is still developing.
Since breaking out as a teenager with his siblings, the Jonas siblings, Joe Jonas‘ life as a superstar has been a frenzy of music, acting, and tabloid headlines. After forming in 2005, The Jonas Brothers became well-known for their clean appearance and appealing songs. After signing a record contract with Columbia Records, they put out their first album, It’s About Time, which was released in 2006.
