Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[flickchick85]

Next time I see Groff, I'll tell him. ;)
Aw, thanks. I'm sure he'll consider it vital information for his everyday life. :woot:

[cin0]

u mean like lauri beth?

[flickchick85]

Exactly like Lori Beth.

[Young Superman]

IMO if Marc Webb cast David Henrie as Peter Parker/Spider-man, this films gonna fail worse then Batman & Robin and Supergirl combined.

[batboy99]

That's sounds pretty stupid. Why would it fail? Because he works with Disney?

[cin0]

no because he not right for spider-man

[Young Superman]

Agreed, he looks nothing like Peter.

[Sentinel X]

u mean like lauri beth?

Exactly like Lori Beth.

Lori Beth? :awesome:

no because he not right for spider-man That's fine, but to sa it would be a major flop, that's a little silly.

[cin0]

i think he could do ok as spider-man but there are plenty of people that look more like him that could do better.

This is interesting, they have someone listed for Gwen Stacy.

[Majik1387]

It's IMDB.........

[terry78]

Who in real life looks like Peter Parker exactly? Every artist draws him different. The only thing he has going is that he's a likeable looking guy.

[SpeterMan3]

Speaking of IMDb, who do you guys think should play Aunt Carnage? :up:

[Darkness Falls]

Aunt carnage needs to be in the reboot trilogy XP

[Ethermatic]

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0948470/

This is interesting, they have someone listed for Gwen Stacy.

Though it's IMDb and cannot be trusted, the girl shown does seem to be the right age and look the part. But I've never heard of her and can't say anything about her acting skills or lack thereof.

Just another name dropped into the hat.

[Jolly C.]

Im thinking Emma Stone for Mary Jane...she always plays the red head and shes a step up from Kirsten Dunst.

[flickchick85]

Lori Beth? :awesome:

That's the one. :woot:

[SpeterMan3]

Saw her name (Meaghan Jette Martin), thought I knew her from somewhere. Looked down, realized Iknow her from Disney Chanel. Not a bad thing, especially since she isn't too well known unless someone's a major Camp Rock fan.



And I miss All That... :(

For those who haven't seen her before, Meaghan Martin can pretty much be regarded (for the most part) as a younger version of Kristen Bell.

[Blacklight]

its a picture of emma stone...google her
Considering the 300+ times people have posted pics of her in this thread because she's a popular choice, I'd say that's not really necessary to google her. Pretty sure we all know who she is.

[austen]

if there is some grain of truth to the meagan martin casting coupled with rumors about logan lerman then they're really casting young :huh:

She's about the same age as lerman and yes, played the baddie in Camp Rock. Was also in House. At the very least the production team is paying attention to Gwen who is such an impt character in Spiderman

[©KAW]

Why shouldn't they be casting young, it's Peter in High School?

And no Disney stars, please.

[cin0]

so bein in any disney program at some point means that they shouldnt have anything to do with the movie. that's stupid especially since disney and marvel are together now.

[ModestMr.Green]

Apparently no one from any children's series ever is an acceptable choice for the Spider-Man franchise unless they're Logan Lerman.

[Ugfugly]

Saw this pic as my wife was browsing Perez Hilton and I was just struck at how nerdy looking this dude is.

It's Ryan Kwanen or something from True Blood, in case y'all are wondering but I think he would make a great Pete

[Sentinel X]

^I like True Blood and I think he isn't a bad actor but no. He looks like he is pushing 40.

Btw...can Logan Lerman actually act? A lot of people voted for him and Im getting a feeling they've never seen him in a movie before

[ModestMr.Green]

He looks like he could play Uncle Joey in a film adaptation of Full House.

Btw...can Logan Lerman actually act? A lot of people voted for him and Im getting a feeling they've never seen him in a movie before

All I've seen of him are the cardboard stand-in performances he submitted in Meet Bill and Percy Jackson, but apparently his jawdropper is 3:10 to Yuma.

[SpeterMan3]

Why shouldn't they be casting young, it's Peter in High School? I'm not exactly sure how to phrase what I want to say, so just insert some sort of agreement.

And no Disney stars, please.
She's not even too well known on Disney (as in not being shown or promoted much). And being on Disney doesn't mean anything if they're a good choice. Even more so when it's somebody who I had to look up, and I actually watch Disney Channel. Occasionally. Every day. :dry:

[Anwar]

Why NOT use people from Disney shows? Being in a Disney program doesn't mean you are a bad actor/actress.

[terry78]

We all know where Shia started at.

[flash13]

Shawn Ashmore also started out on Disney channel, and he's an okay actor. Then again I've only seen him in the X-Men movies....

[Majik1387]

Kurt Russell started at Disney as well. Hell, Sean Connery's second role was in a Disney movie. Don't be so quick to judge against all Disney stars.

[kickass]

Anything younger and more good looking than you are is a "threat".
very telling of what ppl think of themselves.

[austen]

zac efron interviewed by mtv on the oscars red carpet and sounded really game to become the next spiderman. gave the impression that he is definitely in the running. he should be on top of the studio list though the huge actor's fee may be a factor since the earlier announced budget is quite small.

[spider-neil]

Yes we do...and no Shia.

in the immortal words of shia himself;

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

Does anyone know how much Efron actually asks for per movie because I don't see him commanding anything more than $15M and even that's stetching it.

[austen]

earlier reports back in Jan hinted at a $ 9 to 10 M paycheck which is a lot if they stick to their low figure of $ 80M for the budget. As they're going 3D either they get a lesser known face for a lower asking price and spend the bulk on techical production costs keeping cast fees low or just splash out on a marquee name like Efron and add on to the budget

[kickass]

Zac won't get it.

[ModestMr.Green]

Unfortunately.

[SpeterMan3]

Finallly voted on the poll... Went with Lerman.

[RustyCage]

I went with Aaron Johnson just based on his looks when this thread first came up, but now that I've seen the Kick-Ass trailer, he is SO perfect. His movements, his voice, his attitude! :up: :up:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1093951/ :applaud

[LegendaryCaleb]

yeah....but that would be stupid to do..."isnt that kick ass too!"
cause all my friends wanna see kick ass....will probably hate the story but they will still know him from that...i agree he looks the part but wouldnt work...be a bad career choice for him as well

[RustyCage]

yeah....but that would be stupid to do..."isnt that kick ass too!"

So what if he's Kick-Ass too? People watch Christian Bale's movies and go 'Isn't he Batman?!' the same way people go 'omg it's Gandalf!' when they see Magneto in the X-Men movies, it's not a big deal. Actors play lots of roles.

Not to mention the whole Ryan Reynolds = Deadpool AND Green Lantern thing, which I'm amazed anyone still needs to be reminded of. :oldrazz:

be a bad career choice for him as wellWhy? That's absurd. Any relative unknown who lands the Peter Parker/Spider-man role is gonna have all kinds of fame and money and get casted in lots more stuff. It's like winning the lottery as far as 'career choices' go. :funny:

[LegendaryCaleb]

bale isnt a superhero in any other film?
and if deadpool is anything like the wolverine film he was in...then its garbage to begin with.
spidey is a great career choice...i was wrong to say that...i should have said this...if he wants to be taken seriously as an actor down the road...he prolly needs to break away from super hero films...
1 film then a spidey trilogy is not doin that

[©KAW]

That's just a retarded way of thinking.
If not having Miley Cyrus as Mary Jane, Selina Gomez as Gwen Stacy and Zac Efron as Peter/Spidey is retarded...then just call me Corky. :o

This crap is getting old.

It is a problem if the two roles are pretty much exactly the same. It's why Aaron Johnson is not a good choice for Peter.

Aaron Johnson could be a good Peter but his other role is a Parker parody, they even mock the with great power, comes great responsibility line. Just enjoy watching him as Kick-Ass but to be spidey :huh: maybe not

[RustyCage]

This crap is getting old.

It is a problem if the two roles are pretty much exactly the same. It's why Aaron Johnson is not a good choice for Peter.

I fail to see how that makes him a poor choice for Peter. Your inability to get over someone being cast as a superhero twice does not make him unqualified for the role. :whatever: That crap is getting old.

And do point out to me the bit where Peter masturbates to National Geographic pictures of primitive tribal women in the nude, as well as to fantasies about his teacher. Or the bit where Spidey stumbles around embarassingly trying to hit small timers with Eskrima sticks while they mock him. Oh, and the bit where he never got superpowers. Etc, etc.

[RustyCage]

bale isnt a superhero in any other film?

My point is that he's been in a bunch of powerful lead, or 'hero character', roles. People are always gonna see him as Batman and think of that every time they see him in another film, but should that stop him from acting? Hell no! Same with Johnny Depp and Jack Sparrow, to a lesser extent Jackie Earle Haley with Rorschach and Freddy Krueger, etc.

But if you want to only talk about comicbook superhero roles, then I'll again reference Ryan Reynolds - and throw Nick Cage into the mix, since, appropriately, he's Big Daddy in Kick-Ass (and seems to be pulling it off hilariously well in my opinion). I don't see what the problem is, as I'm fully capable of separating Big Daddy from Batman despite the blatant visual likeness - and Ghost Rider for that matter, since it's Nick Cage again. They're three separate characters and treated differently in their respective films because of it. See where I'm going with this?

Remember that this superhero movie is obviously a parody style movie, removing it from the universe of serious superhero movies like Spider-man and Batman. Big Daddy is to Batman as Kick-Ass is to Spidey - there are extreme differences and it's obviously a comedy, so, sane people will hold those two extremes in separate hands. Is that at all comforting? :yay: It's not as big of a deal as some of the more squeamish people on these boards like to make it out to be. Drama drama drama..

and if deadpool is anything like the wolverine film he was in...then its garbage to begin with.Oh c'mon, you're just trollin' now brotha. No need to assume such negative things! :oldrazz: But in all seriousness, that's an entirely irrelevant subject. I hope they do it right too though.

[Majik1387]

It's not a matter of him playing another superhero, it's a matter of him playing the same exact kind of superhero, just with a different name.

It would be the same thing as if Drake Bell was cast.

[RustyCage]

It's not a matter of him playing another superhero, it's a matter of him playing the same exact kind of superhero, just with a different name.

It would be the same thing as if Drake Bell was cast.

How is he the exact same kind of superhero? His origin and motivations are completely different, he doesn't have powers, so he doesn't fight like Spidey either. Do explain for me.

[©KAW]

Yeah, because they're the only Disney stars ever in existence in the history of Disney's live action shows starring young Hollywood ever. :dry:Oh, there's a whole bunch of them that I never want to see in a comic book film, actually, no film I'm interested in seeing. I don't even see them as actors, more like, Disney property. They're too entrenched into the Disney ensemble that's known only for their juvenile brands, especially when there are other and better actors that can be cast.

[SpeterMan3]

So you have a closed-minded and generalized view of Disney actors. Even though the one in question isn't exactly "entrenched" in the Disney stuff. Gotcha.

[socool]

This crap is getting old.

It is a problem if the two roles are pretty much exactly the same. It's why Aaron Johnson is not a good choice for Peter.

why is that bad? oh right! experience always makes for bad casting. I should have known that, I mean it's not like we want an actor with experience in the field or the looks because frankly that would be stupid. :rolleyes:

Yep, I'm as closed-minded for Disney actors, as I am for actors in Sesame Street being cast in Spider-Man. In either case, I don't like the idea. :o

[SpeterMan3]

The movie's not a puppet show. Actual Disney stars can't be compared to... colored feathery socks. To write somebody off just because they're from Disney is like writing off somebody to play Michael Jackson because they don't have vitiligo. :o

[©KAW]

It will be a puppet show if you start casting Disney Stars.

[SpeterMan3]

Just to make sure it's known, generally, I don't want Disney stars in these movies either. But being on a television staion does not affect your genetics to make you a horrible actor or choice for a non-Disney movie. It's 100% possible for a Disney actor to be the best choice for a role in a movie like this. I feel like I'm talking to a puppet...


A stubborn one.

[©KAW]

No, you're just talking to someone who thinks that the casting of Spider-Man, shouldn't start or end with casting Disney stars, perioid.

[©KAW]

damn double post

[Infinity9999x]

Not that I'm advocating for any Disney channel actor, but one should keep in mind that actors take just about any job they can at the beginning of their career. I doubt anybody looked at Tom Hanks when he was in Busom Buddies and thought "there's an Oscar winning actor." Same goes for Robin Williams when he started out in "Mork and Mindy" or Will Smith in Fresh Prince.

You never know where the next great actor is, and judging an actor solely because they've been on a Disney tv show or movie is a foolish idea. It all comes down to how they do in a screen test.

[©KAW]

Then let their break out movie from Disney be something other than Spider-Man.

[david icke]

How is he the exact same kind of superhero? His origin and motivations are completely different, he doesn't have powers, so he doesn't fight like Spidey either. Do explain for me.

He's a nerdy, highschool outcast type with a big secret. The fightscenes don't typecast the hero, the dramatic scenes do.
(edit: You are of course right about the character motivation for being a 'superhero' being very different, but I still feel that the dramatic vibe and story would still play out in a very similar manner. I mean, I got a very 'spider-man' vibe when reading Kick-Ass, they both have simialr intentions behind their creation from the creators, and it shows. With Spider-man Stan Lee wanted to explore what would happen to a superhero teenager with real life problems, while Miller wanted to see what a teenage superhero in the 'real' world, with all the attendant problems and obstacles of real life, would be like.)
I agree that it would be too similar for this particular kid to do both franchises. No matter how good he would be as Pete, he is Kick-Ass now, I want the Spidey movies to have their own particular flavour, same with Kick-Ass.
It would be like Christain Bale playing both Daredevil and Batman, there's nothing in Bale's career that is so similar to Batman as to make the flavour that comes with that role less distinctive.

[Goran]

Hmm... interesting...Evan Rachel Wood exits "Spider-Man turn off the dark?" due to scheduling conflicts??

Maybe she was cast as MJ in the reboot, thus not having time to do both musical and movie???

and so they shall, and so will ppl ***** endlessly when they do.
u look at zac efron who is moving away from the disney brand; he's got 2 dramas in post, and a few more plus an action flick in pre.

you also make it seem like they;re not good enough for spiderman, but maybe spiderman aint good enough for them. i do believe zac can win an oscar one day. and anyone who dismisses that has a whole lotta history working against them. how easily ppl forget :whatever:

look outside the box. not every kid actor can begin in the shawshank redemption. leo dicaprio started in critters 3. CRITTERS 3.
enough said.

[©KAW]

Yeah, I suppose Miley Cyrus could win an Oscar someday too, but that doesn't mean I want her cast as Mary Jane. That's exactly what I'm saying, Spider-Man is too good for them. If Zac was too good for Spidey, he wouldn't be dying and praying for the role. I simply can't associate Spidey with the faces of Disney stars, maybe you can. The thought of it is actually puke worthy.

But don't worry, they'll probably pick 'Zac Efron' because the franchise is known for its bad decision making. Not to mention, Bendis has a crush on him, he's probably hinting at 'Zac Efron' at every Sony meeting that he attends.

[Infinity9999x]

Then let their break out movie from Disney be something other than Spider-Man.

If a Disney star gives the best reading, then why not use them? I mean, I don't really have anyone in mind, and I certainly don't see Zac Efron being Spider-man, but if he honestly gives the best screen test, I'd take him.

I want the best actor possible for my favorite character. Period. I don't give a crap if they started out on Barney, if they give the best screen test and the give the best reading, take the person who will do the character the most justice.

you're ridiculous. actors grow and move on. zac efron wont be disney for the rest of his life, in fact from here on out I dont think we'll be seeing him in another disney flick. Unless until he's in his 30's and playing the dad of what ever kid has taken his spot as the new disney heartthrob.

ppl and all this disney hate. didnt we used to love disney when we were all younger? what happened? if you think the shows were any better, they weren't. this is the result of looking at something as a child vs. an adult. you grew up and now think you're better than everyone? i dont watch disney anymore but I know a couple disney kids. they ain't robots like you'd think; they love serious movies too. they dont even watch the programs on disney unless its in support of a fellow cast member or friend.

Im not saying I want Zac to play spidey, but theres alot of biased ignorance being thrown around because everyone's jaded by the marketing of some of these shows and actors and cant really see beyond that bull.

And how would any of us know who gave the best reading, if Sony goes for Zac Efron, it won't be for the freakin' reading, it would be because he comes with a huge built-in female fanbase (which means more money for them)? And the credibility of this franchise (if there is any after Spider-Man 3) will take a huge nose-dive?

Do you really think that Tobey Maguire gave the best reading with the way he handled the character of Peter/Spidey, seriously? Or was it because he was what Raimi wanted in a droll and monotone Peter/Spidey?

I want the best actors for the parts too, and if Disney actors are where they're starting, they might as well start the second reboot before this film is even made.

I agree, zack and cody shouldn't be a part of spiderman in any shape or form HOWEVER there are tons of other non-disney actors who shouldnt be a part of spiderman either. the point im trying to make is wether the actor is right for the role or not won't be determined by thier previous disney jobs.

I know I might be going out on a limb here but I'm going to have to say Devon Werkheiser from Ned's Declassified. I don't know why but even before I saw this poll, as soon as I heard about the spiderman reboot I started thinking about who they should get to play spiderman now that he's going to be in high school again and for some reason Devon Werkheiser popped into my head. He looks like a young Peter Parker especially if they are going to be doing the ultimate spiderman storyline (like I've heard) and from watching Ned's Declassified I think he could pull off that whole wisecracker thing. If you think that's crazy then all I have to say to that is the same thing I said when I first heard that Tobey Macguire was going to be Peter Parker in spiderman.

If Miley Cyrus honestly gave the best reading for the part, yes I would want her to play Mary Jane. Do I think she would? No, I don't, but hey, you never know.

And none of do know who gives the best reading, it all depends on the director. Yes, other factors go into this, but at the end of the day, the director picks the actor they think will compliment their vision the best.

So yes, I think McGuire gave the best reading according to what Raimi wanted. But that's the way everything in show business goes. It all goes down to what the director wants.

And that's why we have to hope the director has a good vision for the character.

But still, my point still stands. I want the best possible actor for the role, so whoever tests the best is the actor I want, regardless of what they did in the past.

[©KAW]

Wow, Miley Cyrus as Mary Jane, and you'd be for it, yikes! Would you also want her to do a few songs on the soundtrack, lol?

I'm constantly reminded why Spider-Man can't catch a break and actually get some real talent and great minds working on his films. And Miley would take the role in a heartbeat, just like Zac Efron. Let's just hope that this director (Marc Webb) isn't even considering Disney stars in Spider-Man; or he too will have his series rebooted in a few short years. That I promise you.

That is really the key, that the director for once, actually knows who Peter/Spidey & MJ are as characters.

Yeah, I'm sure Maguire gave the best reading for Raimi's version of Peter/Spidey, or whoever that was, I don't doubt that for a second.

I too want the best possible person for the roles, but I don't think you can find them in Disney stars. I'd go as far to say, I think they would be going in the opposite direction. Only time shall tell.

I too want the best possible person for the roles, but I don't think you can find them in Disney stars. I'd go as far to say, I think they would be going in the opposite direction. Only time shall tell.


You're way too biased and closed minded.
You care far more about WHO these actors are instead of WHAT they can do.

IF Miley gave a better audition than (insert name here) then it shouldn't matter if (insert name here) isn't Disney or was in an Oscar-nominated flick!

One of the chicks from Twilight was in Up In The Air and acted alongside with such greats as George Clooney and Vera farmiga. AND she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for that film! An actress from TWILIGHT was nominated for an OSCAR from ANOTHER MOVIE.
Do you see my point here?
How is anyone in showbiz supposed to grow and master thier craft if no one gives them the light of day to take risks and break free from their comfort zone?

The problem is everyone is soooooooo quick to judge and scoff people off, AND YET we see time and time again those very same actors prove people wrong. Sometimes you even get the best actor for the role but the writers and director **** everything up, example Superman Returns.

I think you're a little too celebrity-obsessed.

[cin0]

u're right, but i think they would be lookin for somebody that looks like mj and can play her well not just someone that could play her well. i honestly doubt miley cyrus could play either. she looks nothin like her and i dont see her playin that type of character. her southern accent would get in the way too since mj is from new york.

[©KAW]

When it comes to casting Disney stars in Spider-Man, hell yeah I'm bias, I don't want to see any of them in these films, ever. Let them grow and master their craft in another movie. I've seen three mediocre Spider-Man films, and I sure as hell don't want to start the next new series with Disney Stars.

[UnionJack]

If Webb fills the next Spidey series with all teen drama and no action I will give up on Spidey until Marvel get the license back.

I'm still not struck on taking him all the way back to high school again, it will only have been 10years since we got the first Spidey. Why can't we see him when he just starts COLLEGE meeting Connors and people there, I don't want Spidey School Musical full of cheesy looking kids hamming up the screen.

I want a cheerful action film like Iron-Man not who likes who 90210 bulls**t

[Rodrigo90]

Who wants Miley Cyrus for MJ?...wheres my gun?

(BANG)

[Doctor Jones]

He never said he wanted her as MJ. He said that if she gave the best reading for it cast her. It's hard to separate her status right now with credibility to her name for the part. It is hard. But (had he not be out of the running) if Krasinksi gave the best reading for Cap, cast him.

[©KAW]

Miley and Zac Efron shouldn't even be allowed at the reading, that's my point. The very fact that we're talking about casting Disney stars in Spider-Man is appauling--and speaks volumes about how much quality is never a factor when it comes to these films. Just slap anything and anyone into the movies, Disney...Nickelodeon, Sesame Street, Barney and even iCarly actors, why just stop at Disney. Let's out CHEESE all of Sam Raimi's movies. :dry:

[SpeterMan3]

You realize we're talking about people and not brands, right? These are people, specifically actors, who can always improve and often break out of their usual or well-known roles. They themselves would not make a movie cheesy, especially since we're not at all talking about a movie with all Disney/ Nick kids, just one. And most of us don't even want them, but we'd more open if they are the best.


I'd like to add that I'm currently watching Hannah Montana.
And I'm proud.

[©KAW]

Yeah, but they're more BRAND than they are people/actors in Disney's eyes, and how they present them to the masses. Yet another reason why I don't want them.I'd like to add that I'm currently watching Hannah Montana.
And I'm proud. Why am I NOT surprised. :dry:

[SpeterMan3]

If any of them were auditioning for Spider-Man, I doubt they'd still be too involved with Disney.

[©KAW]

It's too late for trying to distance themselves, they already have the iconic smell of DISNEY all over them. And I don't want that scent on Spider-Man.

[SpeterMan3]

Why am I NOT surprised. :dry:
:awesome:

[SpeterMan3]

It's too late for trying to distance themselves, they already have the iconic smell of DISNEY all over them. And I don't want that scent on Spider-Man.
You make it seem like they're old or something. Most of them are young enough to distance themselves from anything they're currently involved in. Even Miley. Especially Zac. I don't even think about HSM when I hear Zac Efron's name anymore. I'm thinking you've just been too against these guys since they started. And speaking of Efron, High School Musical wasnt the first thing he was in or anything. He was pretty good in Summerland (pre-Disney) and really nothing like how it seems you may think of him. That seemed like an awkward sentence.. I think I got my point across though.

[©KAW]

You don't think about High School Musical when Zac Efron name is mentioned, but the press and millions upon millions of teen girls do. Cast Zac Efron and the name "Disney" and "High School Musical" is all you'll hear when he's announced as Spidey from the press. The same can be said for MILEY MOUSE. :o

[Infinity9999x]

Wow, Miley Cyrus as Mary Jane, and you'd be for it, yikes! Would you also want her to do a few songs on the soundtrack, lol?

I'm constantly reminded why Spider-Man can't catch a break and actually get some real talent and great minds working on his films. And Miley would take the role in a heartbeat, just like Zac Efron. Let's just hope that this director (Marc Webb) isn't even considering Disney stars in Spider-Man; or he too will have his series rebooted in a few short years. That I promise you.

That is really the key, that the director for once, actually knows who Peter/Spidey & MJ are as characters.

Yeah, I'm sure Maguire gave the best reading for Raimi's version of Peter/Spidey, or whoever that was, I don't doubt that for a second.

I too want the best possible person for the roles, but I don't think you can find them in Disney stars. I'd go as far to say, I think they would be going in the opposite direction. Only time shall tell.

Oh, I agree with you in that I don't think Zac Efron or Miley would be the best actors for the roles. And in general, I tend to shy away from actors who have become cultural icons. Sometimes it's hard to see them as the character and not the actor playing the character. However, a good actor will overcome this.

However, if they test the best, I would take them, if they honestly gave the best reading. And all I'm saying is, don't be too hasty to dismiss certain actors/actresses based on what they're doing now. Again, I doubt a whole lot of people thought Tom Hanks would turn out to be a great actor after Busom Buddies.

Again, do I think that Zac Efron will be Peter? Most likely not, but if he honestly gives the best audition, take him.

[ImWithTeamConan]

Assuming Gwen is the girl next door and MJ is the ethereal hotness.

Peter: Logan Lerman
Gwen: Dakota Fanning
MJ: Emma Roberts or Lily Collins
JJJ: Hugh Laurie
Kraven: Gerard Butler

[SpeterMan3]

Cast Zac Efron and the name "Disney" and "High School Musical" is all you'll hear when he's announced as Spidey from the press. The same can be said for MILEY MOUSE. :o
Efron has come into his own, as Zac Efron, not "that one guy from High School Musical that we all either love or hate." I don't want him simply because he's Zac Efron. I don't see him as the best choice, especially since he's way too popular. Miley hasn't exactly broken out of that yet but I can tell she's changing... Hannah Montana's over anyway, I think.

[Anwar]

I think Miley will be safe from the "Lindsay Lohan" effect, she's not self-destructive and had better upbringing.

Dakota should be Gwen, Emma Roberts should be Liz, and since I can't think of anyone else I guess Emma Stone can be MJ.

Jon Hamm can be Norman Osborn, the evil that hides behind a respectable, even nice, face.

Him or Adrian Pasdar.

Stop using the best reading/audition motif, we don't get to see anyone else's audition--most likely just the one whom they picked as Spidey.

I'm willing to bet my left nut that there were better auditions from other actors reading for the part of Peter/MJ than Tobey and Kirsten, but we'll never know. If Zac Efron gets cast as Spider-Man, it will be because Sony knows he comes with a demo-graphic that most comic books and their movies can't tap into, 10s of millions of female fangirls. It will have very little to do with the audition reading.

And if Zac does get cast, it will once again cement the fact that Avi Arad/Laura Ziskin isn't thinking about Spider-Man in terms of quality, but how much money they can make off of him. It's the same reason why Bendis wants Efron, his huge fanbase, and why he wants him for Spidey, to give him an even bigger fanbase--for when Bendis start releasing his movie deals starring Zac Efron.

Thus, is why I say Zac Efron/Miley Cyrus is more of a BRAND than they are ACTORS.

[©KAW]

No, I won't stop using the best audition motif. Yes, we don't know how well they audition because we don't see it, but it goes both ways. You don't know that they won't knock it out of the park either.

I'm a studying actor myself, and as an actor, I don't count anybody out. You never know a person's true potential.

And yes, I would agree with you that there are politics that go on behind the scenes with casting, and I'd be inclined to think along the same lines as you if Zac did get cast. But at the same time, you just don't know.

What it comes down to is the same thing it comes down to with any play or movie. A director has a vision and they cast who they think is the best possible actor to fulfill that vision. If Zac Efron honestly gives a killer audition I would want to hire him.

Again, my whole point was not to defend Zac Efron, but simply point out the fact that you should never write off actors simply because they appear in less then inspired productions. I'm not advocating for a Disney star, but you don't know their true potential. People would have been saying the same thing about Tom Hanks, or Leonardo DiCaprio, or hundreds of other actors that started out in shows/movies that were less then great.

And it all comes down to the audition.

I mean, we all love Spider-man, it's why we waste our times arguing with eachother on these boards night after night. And I think we can all agree that we all want the best possible actor for the role of a character we love.

So then, wouldn't you want the actor who gives the best audition?

That's all I'm saying. And sometimes the actor that can give the best audition may surprise you.

[©KAW]

My whole point was, he should never be even considered for the role. I want my surprises coming from a non-Disney star.

[LegendaryCaleb]

if zac and miley gave a killer performance and there were two other actors (looked more the part obviously cause they dont) and acted heck 80% of how good they did with their auditions...id choose the others over zac and miley because they are truly branded by the media for good...they can hardly be taken seriously IMO...
and they would make my eyes bleed cause i also happen to have a dislike for both due to having to endure both's movies....they wouldnt do well in auditions anyway so idk why we are discussing them...its impossible for them to do well with how terrible theyve been in films already

[©KAW]

Sadly, it's only with the Spider-Man movies, where fans are open to mediocre Disney actors starring in his movies. This is just something that plagues the Spider-Man franchise from Director to Producers to Fanboys. Quality is simply not on the top of people's list when it comes to Spider-Man.

Hopefully, they'll make the right choice, and not cast any Disney stars, so we can stop taking about this. It gives me the willies, because I know that we don't have smart people working on these films, who sadly also hold Spider-Man's film rights.

1. How much quality do you want from Spider-Man? This isn't There Will Be Blood :whatever:

2. I have complete faith in everyone involved in this project. For 2 reasons, one being the ppl involved, and two being because I couldn't give a rats ass about the Raimi films. Didn't then, won't now.

3. Zac Efron isn't on the list to play Spidey ANYWAY. So when when he does work his way up and ends up being in a pretty darn good mobie that earns him tons of praise, ppl can ***** THEN about "he's sooooo good, they should have casted him for such and such!"...because, really, that's how it usually goes. I study film audiences. It's pretty typical, redundant, and common sense.

[Infinity9999x]

My whole point was, he should never be even considered for the role. I want my surprises coming from a non-Disney star.

I understand that, and honestly, I'm not in support of Efron for the character either. In fact, I don't really have any disney stars that I would like to see in the main roles of a Spider-man movie.

However, as an actor myself, I never like to see people discounting others simply because they started out their career in shows that weren't the best. When you're an actor starting your career, you take anything you can get, and it's unfair to judge the actors solely on that.

That's basically my point, don't judge them on what they're doing now, because you never know what they might end up evolving into.

[Frodo]

The whole Disney arguement is silly imo. If the guy is a good actor,the right age, and can pull off the part he at least deserves a screentest. Btw Jodie Foster was a Disney child star. So was Kurt Russell. Sean Connery got the attention of the James Bond producers after seeing him in the Disney film "Darby O' Gill and the Little People".

There are exceptions to every rule , but just because the guy may have done a Disney tv show or film , doesn't mean he should be ruled out.

Alot of Fanboy idols would be ruled out if they were judged based on prior work. Michael Keaton= Mr Mom. Hugh Jackman= Song and Dance performer. Heath Ledger= 10 things I hate about you , Brokeback Mountain. Chris Pine= Just my luck , which was a Lindsey Lohan film believe it or not.

1. The Dark Knight and Lord of the Rings type quality.

2. I'll decide on how much faith I have when there's a script leak, or when we start seeing elements and specifics from the filmmakers.

I can't help but type cast them, Zac and Miley screams 'DISNEY' to me. Maybe in the furture they can change this by doing some serious films, even R rated films, to wash the Disney out of their hair. But for now, Zac Efron is the guy from Disney's High School Musical to me, the press/media and millions of his teen girl fanbase.

This movie seems like it wont be treated exactly like it should. Sony seemingly just sees these movies as property with automatic dollar signs attached. They may not look at things as artistically (or well overall) as they should. I think a lot of people here can agree on that. Should we give this movie/ these movies a chance, just because they are being limited by a company? Or should we wait for Marvel to get the rights back and just skip this? and if we do that, the movies will be owned by (DUNN DUNN DUNNNNN)... Disney.

This isn't exactly an argument to any of your points or statements, I just want to know how you feel. And anyone, really, but mainly ©KAW.

[rcazzy]

©KAW,


1. The Dark Knight and Lord of the Rings type quality.

Obviously you would want good acting quality, but to expect it from teenage actors to match with actors in their 30s acting for a long time is a bit much, but quality can still be had.

2. I'll decide on how much faith I have when there's a script leak, or when we start seeing elements and specifics from the filmmakers.

Fair enough, but Marc Webb works characters very well so that sideshould be fine.

3. Well, as long as he starts his climb up out of Disney's juvenile hole with other films, not Spidey, I don't really care what he does.

While not my first choice, he did very well in 17 Again and he did a good job in 'Me and Orson Welles' (Hairspray too). He's no longer a 'Disney Kid' to me in taking these roles and making them work. Don't sideline an actor for personal hatred of characters they portrayed or movie's they were in. He's quite capable.

[batboy99]

Anyways, who would you guys cast as Felicia Hardy?

[LegendaryCaleb]

dont be a baby because i find your dream girl to be ugly as hell

[batboy99]

It was a joke :whatever: and she's far from ugly as hell. Shes not the hottest chick ,but she sure as hell isn't the worst either. And how am I being a baby?? :huh: I couldn't care less what anyone else thinks of her.

[LegendaryCaleb]

ohhh i took it wrong man
sorry bout that
i thought ya were attackin me for not thinking shes the prettiest
my bad bro

[batboy99]

Lol it's alright. But I still can't see how she's so ugly.

[ModestMr.Green]

Anyways, who would you guys cast as Felicia Hardy?

Default to Summer Glau.

[Rodrigo90]

Im purely basing this on looks,but I think Pixie Lott is almost the right look for Gwen. I'll wait to see has she does in Fred before I start praising her.

http://kameronaloud.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/pixie-lott1.jpg

[ImWithTeamConan]

Is she an international pop star? Cause that photo makes it look like she is.

[Rodrigo90]

Yeah. But is she also an actress,but I dont know how a good one.

[batboy99]

Default to Summer Glau.I like Summer, but Felicia Hardy doesn't really come to mind when thinking of Summer. She's badass, no doubt, but she just doesn't have that 'it' factor. Also, she's definitely someone who is more ''cute'' than hot.

[ImWithTeamConan]

If Felicia Hardy is a fellow high schooler (and they're not going the Ultimate Spiderman route of her being a woman) than I'd go with Dianna Agron.

This isn't exactly an argument to any of your points or statements, I just want to know how you feel. And anyone, really, but mainly ©KAW.You may be right, maybe they're hiring another TOOL DIRECTOR just to make any kind of film to make money off of Spidey. It's not like I haven't seen this before. But I can't give up hope, because I never once thought Warner Bros. would wise-up and turn to the artistic side and hire a gem of a director, who few even knew who he was. It can happen, rare as hell, but it can happen.

Should we give the reboot movie a chance, hell yes, I gave all three Spider-Man films a chance, and you know how I feel about them. What if we didn't give Chris Nolan's Batman a chance, we would have missed out. Sometimes you can strike gold, again...it's rare, but it happens.

Disney getting Spider-Man rights back, is pretty much MARVEL getting Spider-Man rights back. Disney would distribute the film and license the characters under MARVEL's banner (and of course finally make the money Sony is now getting). Disney has several companies in which they operate as a sole entity without any influence from Disney, namely, ABC network and its shows like 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Lost' & the ESPN network. Marvel would be no different.

[©KAW]

Obviously you would want good acting quality, but to expect it from teenage actors to match with actors in their 30s acting for a long time is a bit much, but quality can still be had.Hell yes, I want good quality acting. Elijah Wood (LOTR) and Ellen page (Hard Candy) great acting (ages 18-20). It isn't the age, a semi-good actor can be great with the right script and director. This is what most films with these young people have in common. Solid emotional scripts and very good director. Fair enough, but Marc Webb works characters very well so that sideshould be fine. He better bring his A-Game, that's for sure.
While not my first choice, he did very well in 17 Again and he did a good job in 'Me and Orson Welles' (Hairspray too). He's no longer a 'Disney Kid' to me in taking these roles and making them work. Don't sideline an actor for personal hatred of characters they portrayed or movie's they were in. He's quite capable.
Yeah, but still, the guy is known around the world for Disney's High School Musical. It's what he's known for, there's no shaking it. Why choose him when you can find someone equally talented, if not more talented, without the stigma of 'Disney' and 'High School Musical' bogging one down.

[SpeterMan3]

Gotcha, and I basically agree. :up:

Just picked up Rocket Science, which stars the best hope for the new Spider-Man franchise - Reece Thompson. I really dug him in Assassination of a High School President, and I've heard he's amazing in this one too.

Reece Thompson for the win.

My answer on this is, these movies should be given a chance because, they're spider-man films, we're spider-man fans which is ultimately why we're here in the first place. The way I see it, spider-man having a theatrical realease is always going to be a big deal and although Raimi has his legions of fans and detractors, the hype surrounding his movies were amazing.

Now, we've seen spidey 3 times, what worked and what didn't work and the fact that new talent is being injected into the franchise is enough for one to get excited, however, it depends on the vision and execution of this new interpretation of the character. If we get more of what Raimi gave us, then count me out. I'm all for making certain changes that work but making changes that are silly or just for the hell of it is a massive turn off.

I say, keep an eye on the production of the movie to see how things are shaping up, once the trailers come out and it looks promising then great but it's the viewing of the final product that determines if this new venture will be a joy forthcoming or a complete waste of time. Time will tell.

Next to J.K. Simmons, I think James Woods would be a wonderful choice. He was fantastic as Hades in Disney's Hercules. I know that it's just a voice, but he has heart and talent with it. He could pull off J Jonah perfectly.

[©KAW]

James Woods as J Jonah is an excellent ideaNot if he's used for comedy relief like J.K. Simmons was. I didn't believe a word that came out of that man's mouth. I didn't even believe that he was the publisher of the Daily Bugle, or that he even worked there or hate Spider-Man. I'd really like to see a much more serious and believable three dimensional take on JJJ. :o

[batboy99]

If Felicia Hardy is a fellow high schooler (and they're not going the Ultimate Spiderman route of her being a woman) than I'd go with Dianna Agron.
She seems more of a Gwen Stacy/ Liz Allen type person.

I think Amber Heard would be the best.

[SpeterMan3]

Lol I find this oddly fitting.

It's comic relief not comedy relief, but u're right.

[SpeterMan3]

Go back about 2 pages.

NOt trying to bring back the conversation or anything, but I just found it ironic.

[Ashz22]

I loved the orginial casting why must everything be re-done for money perhaps ;D?

[batboy99]

I know this might be a little out of the park, but how about Lacey Chabert as Felicia Hardy?

I know she's typically know as more of a ''cute'' girl, especially the voice, but she can definitely look really hot sometimes.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Don't know if this has been posted already (I don't keep up with this thread anymore), but supposedly Gwen Stacy has been cast. Of course, nothing is confirmed until Sony says so at least. :o But anyway:

IMDb can be very biased with its cast updates sometimes, so this might not be true, however it very well could turn out to be true afterall.

IMDb now lists Meaghan Jette Martin as Gwen Stacy... who is Meaghan Jette Martin? She has appeared on House, 10 Things I Hate About You, and appeared in Disney Channel's Camp Rock.

[batboy99]

She's wearing Ed Hardy. That equals bad points from me.

[Anwar]

I still say Dakota Fanning is the best choice for Gwen. I mean, "Runaways" proves she has real acting talent.

Course, that depends on whether or not they'll actually give Gwen actual character (like the Spectacular show) or just have her be the weepy cardboard cut-out she was in the original comics.

PLEASE no. I don't doubt that she's a good actress, but she's just that creepy little kid to me. I think theres a bunch of better choices.

[batboy99]

Ok Well I just saw Wizards casting and I really think I've lost some hope in them. Thero casting is TERRIBLE! Josh Peck as Peter?! Rihanna as Black Cat?! Oh god...

[TheSlag]

PLEASE no. I don't doubt that she's a good actress, but she's just that creepy little kid to me. I think theres a bunch of better choices.

Agreed.

[cin0]

yeah i agree, she did alot of horror movies back in the day and appeared in a few shows where her character didnt talk that made me think she was crazy. she really was kinda creepy.

Ok Well I just saw Wizards casting and I really think I've lost some hope in them. Thero casting is TERRIBLE! Josh Peck as Peter?! Rihanna as Black Cat?! Oh god...

they was probably on hydro while watchin that sorry catwoman movie with halle berry and thought that a black woman with short hair should play black cat too.

[batboy99]

Ok, that's fine, but why not a black ACTRESS? There other choices were Amanda Bynes and Megan Fox.

And I know this is kind of an oddball choice but does anyone think that Kat Dennings can be a good Felicia Hardy? She has those certain features that remind me alot of Terry Dodson's Black Cat, she's a pretty good actress from what I've seen her in and she's certainly got the..ahem... assests.

I actually wouldnt mind megan fox as black cat if she stepped her actin game up, that would be better than megan fox as catwoman to me. but there's nothin wrong with a change in race nick fury is black now but tryin to change the character to be more like another character change is kinda stupid.

kat i think is okay, but im not sure how good she would look as a blonde.

[batboy99]

I think Megan Fox has had more than enough chances to rove herself as even a mediocre actress. She's just eye candy. I would very much mind if they cast her as Black Cat, just because the character is hot doesn't mean they should cast a hot girl who can't act. There's no reason to suffer acting just for looks. This is a movie, not a photoshoot. I'll admit, she would fit the role perfectly looks wise, but she just isnt much of an actress.

And Kat was blonde in The House Bunny and looked just fine. Either way, her hair would be white.
Here's a very quick mock up I did.

I think she can act just fine, the roles she's played arent really that much different. i actually dont understand wat people are sayin is so horrible about her actin. i never thought of her as a bad actress, just not that good. but like i said she would have to step it up.

I wouldnt mind dennings. shes kinda pale, though.

[cin0]

double post

[batboy99]

She's pretty good, I'd say she better than just ok. I think she can definitely pull off a role like Felicia. It isn't the simplist role, but it isn't the hardest either. It's a very fun role, I imagine.

I'd also like Amber Heard .

[LegendaryCaleb]

amber heard...i dig that pick man...she could pull it off well

[Sebastos]

Amber Heard has always been my #1 choice, someone do a manip of her as Black Cat. :awesome:

[kickass]

Amber Heard is LOVE <3

[batboy99]

I dunno, I'm starting to like Dennings as Felicia

May Parker- Helen Mirren
Felicia Hardy/Black Cat- Kat Dennings or Amber Heard
Harry Osborn- Anton Yelchin

[©KAW]

No Black Cat, at all. She's a horrible Catwoman ripoff. There is no other way to see this character.

[Anwar]

Actually, a lot of Catwoman's modern characterization came from Black Cat in the first place. Before BC, Catwoman wasn't that much into the "female villain involved with hero" type.

[zeptron]

I'm neither for nor against Black Cat.

And also

http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2005/10/27/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-22/

When you created the Black Cat to be Spider-Man's new girl friend, was it linked to a desire to write stuff about Catwoman or was it only an homage? Marv: I didn't plan Black Cat to be in Spidey. I created her for Spider-Woman (look at the letter column of the first B.C. story and you'll see). I then decided to leave Spider-Woman and moved her over. So, I never even thought of Catwoman when I did her. I got the idea for her from a Tex Avery cartoon, Bad Luck Blackie.

Come on people. Stop with the Batman superiority. I once too considered her a rip off of Catwoman. Yes there are similarities, but Felicia wasn't a sociopath who tries to take on a cat like personality.

It's funny how identical yours and my casting picks are. Kat Dennings is a new one to me. Still not totally sold on Lerman, would have to see him in more movies before giving him a shot.

Yes there are similarities, but Felicia wasn't a sociopath who tries to take on a cat like personality.Who wouldn't make the comparison between the two? Which is why "Catwoman" came up in his conversation. People are not gonna read what this guy says. The characters are much too similar. Show a picture of Black Cat to almost any non-fanboy, and they'll say Catwoman.

Catwoman has about 40 years on Black Cat, superiority is an understatement.

Haha, is that a good thing? Who's your choice for Felicia? I knew Dennings wouldnt be a popular choice, but I like it. For some weird reason, Black Cat is a really hard role for me to cast. Even back when we had Tobey and co in the movies. I liked a few choices, but none of them I was really sold on. You'd think it would be an easy role to cast, but I guess not.

I like most of those options. I like Logan but against the rest of your choices (except for Taylor Momsen), he'll look too much younger than them I think.

[batboy99]

You like most of them, but at the same time your against most of them?? :confused:

I'll give you Seyfried and Rachel Wood, but all the others look young enough to be paired with Lerman.

Harry Osborne: Anton Yelchin
Norman Osborne: Hugo Weaving
Flash Thompson: Travis Van Winkle

as the villains:

Herman Schultz/Shocker: Callum Keith Rennie
MacGargan/the Scorpion: Kevin Bacon or Christian Slater (MacGargan has to look like a loser)

[mickey]

I like them on their own in comparison to the role and they'd work with an older actor as Peter, but if they go with someone who looks as young as Lerman, they'll have to find younger females to costar. They all would look too old, imo.

[ModestMr.Green]

I saw The Runaways yesterday. Depending on how young they go for Peter, I endorse Dakota Fanning for Gwen Stacy. She may have been a hideous little girl, but in motion these days she's not half bad looking. Totally rocked the sex kitten deal.

If Christian slater was in a spidey film I'd die a lil inside

Taylor Momsen seems like she's going to be the next Lindsay Lohan or some other jaded, troubled and troublesome actress. So, no thanks.

[Crook]

They're actors, as long as whatever their persona is in real-life doesn't interfere with that of the film's, it should be fine.

He's 18 and he doesnt look THAT young. Nor do the others look that old.

[Majik1387]

Evan Rachel Wood really shouldn't be suggested for the reboot. She has the same problem as JGL; she would have been good once upon a time, but she's too old for the role an looks it.

[cin0]

she was born in 87 levitt was born in the 70's she doesnt even look old at all.

[Majik1387]

What I mean is that she looks too old for a high schooler

[zeptron]

Jensen Ackles for Eddie Brock

good casting suggestion:yay:

[SymbioticToxin]

Peter Parker/Spider-Man- Logan Lerman
Gwen Stacy- Emma Robertson
Harry Osborn- Anton Yelchin
Eddie Brock- Sam Worthington

[I'm Venom]

I don’t know. It’s just that Jensen Ackles has got the look and voice. I’m not convinced that Sam can pull off Venom. After seeing My Bloody Valentine, Ackles would do fine in terms of this role.

[Anwar]

For the reboot, Eddie shouldn't be an adult but a few years older than Peter. Either he can be a Bully who graduates early on and is an Undergrad by the time they run into each other again as Spidey and Venom (with Peter at 16-17).

[I'm Venom]

Brock can be a journalist with Parker at 18.

[Anwar]

Yeah, maybe he can be a Bully who also works at the school paper and moves onto the ESU college paper when he graduates. Then maybe he can be an intern at the Bugle when whatever happens to make him hate Spidey while having him and Peter already be nasty to each other.

I'd lean more towards the Ultimate or SSM version of Brock than 616.

[Venomfan]

having brock as some bully just turns him into flash, leave him as some older guy working at the bugle

[Gamma Goliath]

I'd rather see an plder brock. I feel like he'd be a more dangerous threat if he was a few years older than peter. With him realizing spiderman is just a kid. It makes a greater challenge for peter to overcome.

[I'm Venom]

For example, let's say that they cast Ackles (32) as Brock and Lerman (18) as Parker. The age difference would be 14 years, which would be near the comics.

[Ajendo]

Danielle Panabaker for MJ?

[terry78]

Eddie Brock was never a bully just for the sake of it. He honestly feels he is doing the right thing and righting an injustice Peter did to him. He would protect anyone that he feels had been wronged, he's just a psychotic about it.

[Anwar]

Tell that to the cops he murdered (when he could've easily just knocked them out).

Hell, tell that to the VICTIMS of the SERIAL KILLER he was protecting. Some "Good Catholic"...

Brock was always an opportunistic snake, the whole symbiote thing just made him even more openly nuts.

I say, drop the nuts part of it and just make him an opportunistic jerk who openly embraces the power of the symbiote to selfishly make his own life better and not giving a damn about anyone else. It at least gives him some much-needed character outside of the idiotic "Lethal Protector" stuff.

[terry78]

I think it depends on who is writing him at any given point.

[Anwar]

The 90s cartoon and Spectacular Spiderman had it right: Venom should be an unsympathetic evil bastard, none of this "innocents" garbage. The comics got it right when they made Scorpion into the new Venom.
