The Boy Who Lived goes undercover as the web-slinging hero.
Daniel Radcliffe wanted to enjoy the San Diego Comic-Con same as everyone else, but he knew he needed a disguise to avoid fans mobbing him on the convention floor. His choice for an undercover identity: Spider-Man.
"He's a great superhero and it covers the face so it was perfect," Daniel told MTV News about his Spidey costume. "It was awesome. I had my picture taken with loads of people. Nobody tweaked… I was just going around doing poses."

Daniel made his debut at Comic-Con this year to promote his new film Horns. He stars Ig Perrish, who wakes up one day soon after the mysterious death of his girlfriend to discover strange horns growing out of his head.
"This is my first time here. You don't go to Comic-Con without going down on the floor and seeing it all. So the way I came up with doing that all was Spider-Man," he said.
He almost didn't make it when he had trouble leaving Toronto with his updated visa. He was expected to arrive on Thursday, but was delayed one day.
"Daniel needed a stamp from the US embassy in Toronto to travel back to the States. And their computer system was down," a source told the New York Post's Page Six.
Daniel isn't the first star to go incognito on the convention floor. Last year, Bryan Cranston dressed as his Breaking Bad alter ego Heisenberg to blend in among the crowds. Doctor Who's Matt Smith wore a huge Homer Simpson mask and The Big Bang Theory's Johnny Galecki went the extra mile to dress in Princess Leia's bounty hunter costume.
