The "Spider-Man" stunt double banged up in a 30-foot plunge off a Broadway stage says he's can't wait to make theatergoers scream again.
Christopher Tierney, 32, blamed "human error" for his Dec. 20 accident, but said all is "forgiven and forgotten."
"It is somebody's fault - it was a collective fault - but it's not the producers, it's not Julie," he said Monday of director Julie Taymor.
"They would give us the shirts off their backs if it was the last thing they had to make sure we were okay," he told The Associated Press.
Tierney - who suffered four broken ribs and three broken vertebrae and fractured his scapula, elbow and head - is scheduled to be released Wednesday from the the Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine in Manhattan.
In an interview with CBS 2 News, which aired Monday night, he said he's "getting better every day."
"It like, makes me believe that I'm gonna be back on the show in no time," said Tierney, who has rods in his back and wears a full-torso brace with a Spider-Man sticker on it.
"I can't wait to make them scream," he said of audiences attending "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark."
Producers of the problem-plagued $65 million production announced Monday night that actress T.V. Carpio will officially take over the role of the vengeful Spider Arachne. She succeeds Natalie Mendoza, who quit after suffering a concussion.
