Actor 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, said that the superheroes' love interest Mary Jane could be re-imagined as a male character named AJ, reported Digital Spy.

"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?," Garfield said.
 

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."

'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.
