Here's what we know about the mucho-hyped spidey reboot titled (duh) The Amazing Spider-ManAndrew Garfield plays the webbed wonder himself, Rhys Ifans plays über-evil Lizard, and Emma Stone plays the only normal one in the bunch.

But what if Miss Stone was the one slinging spider webs—or flying faster than a speeding bullet or wielding an American flag-themed shield? At the Comic-Con press conference held for the flick, we asked our fave up-and-commer which superheroine franchise she'd like to lead.

Read on to hear what she's got to say about her superself and her hottie Brit costar:

"Oh boy. I don't know if I could be a superhero, to be honest with you," Emma responded to our Q. "I mean, I'd love to say, ‘Yes, there's 12 I can name,' but I don't know if I'm your girl if you're looking for a superhero."

C'mon, Em—what happened to super powered girl power?

Oh well, we'll forgive her because she is absolutely adorable when it comes to chatting about her costar-turned-rumored BF. Like when one reporter asked her why she'd signed on to the gig.

"Uh, sorry... I'm a little embarrassed here," Emma blushed before revealing, "For me, it was Andrew."

Aww--too precious! But the love-fest doesn't stop there.

Emma continues: "It was Andrew, because my character experiences everything with Peter. It's her first love and they experience so much together… With him it made sense. Once I read with him and once I met him, it just made sense."

Alright, now it's time for a collective: awwww.

"Sorry buddy," Emma joked, turning to Garf. ‘Tho, we're pretty sure these two have no problem palling around together. Just peep this LOL-worthy exchange that went down when they oh-so-giddy twosome were asked about the first time they saw each other:

Emma: "I walked in and he was in the full Spider-Man suit--"

Andrew: "—Scratching my ass."

Emma: "Scratching his ass—which is great, just to break that out. I went in and I needed to stand next to him and I think I really inappropriately just started touching you. He's like ‘Stop touching me!' And I said, ‘You have to realize that everyone is in the room with Spider-Man. This isn't just about you.'"

Andrew: "Actually, it had nothing to do with me."

Emma: "It had nothing to do with you. At all."

As for when Andrew saw Emma?

Andrew: "She was also wearing a Spider-Man costume."

Emma: "Isn't that funny? Isn't that weird? It's such a small world!"

Andrew: "And I didn't want to go anywhere near her. Because I was like, ‘I thought I was Spider-man.' I felt threatened. No, but Emma's natural hair color is blonde but I had never seen her as a blonde. And that was interesting, I guess. It suits you, I think, and so does the red."

Which makes it official: After witnessing their too cute banter and boat-loads of chemistry, not only are we willing to dish out some dough to see Spider-Man opening night, but we're dubbing these two one of our fave celeb couples.

They just suit each other.
