Andrew Garfield has hinted that he would like to appear in the Avengers sequel.

Garfield - who stars in the upcoming Marvel film The Amazing Spider-Man - told Vulture that he was very impressed by director Joss Whedon's superhero epic.



"I saw it, and I was blown away. And I'm going to see it again this weekend," the actor said, adding humorously: "I have no problem adding to the amount of money it's making!"

Garfield went on to say he'd love to see Spider-Man share the screen with Captain America (Chris Evans), Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr), The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) and Thor (Chris Hemsworth).

"Joss Whedon is a genius, and it's an incredible cast. I was very, very jealous, and I wanted to jump on the screen and play with them," the star admitted. "It killed me that I wasn't in it, but I understand why, and I'm not insulted. But hey, if Samuel L Jackson wants to give me a shout, I'm there for the next one."



Disney announced earlier this month that a follow-up to the record-breaking The Avengers is already in development, although a release date has not yet been confirmed.

Director Whedon has revealed that he is "torn" over whether to helm The Avengers 2 because the comic book adaptation is "somebody else's story".

The Avengers is now playing in cinemas worldwide.
