The Anonymous star, who plays Dr Curt Connors - also known as The Lizard - in the forthcoming reboot, revealed that he is thrilled to be a part of the film.
"I'm really proud of it," Ifans told Movieline. "I haven't seen it yet, obviously.
"Of course it's a huge franchise with a massive budget, but essentially for me it was a kind of father-son story and emotionally very domestic. But in terms of the whole publicity machine and all that, I'm kind of excited."
Ifans went on to say that director Marc Webb brought some intimacy to the superhero movie.
"[Webb] works very quietly with actors, with loving attention to emotional detail," Ifans said. "And for a film painted on such a wide canvas, you have to have that forensic-ness to counter the size - to keep kind of an emotional balance in the piece.
"Hopefully, I think that's what we've achieved. We'll see."
Ifans recently revealed that he refused to use a body double in the film, saying that he used a CGI suit for certain scenes.
The Amazing Spider-Man is due out in US and UK cinemas on July 3, 2012.
