Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[I_am_iron_man]

Mary Jane Watson - Miley Cyrus

The worst thing i can read in this topic. You're just kidding, right?

[Man of Tomorrow]

I'd cast Aussie actor, Jason Smith in the role of Peter Parker/Spider-man.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1321788/ (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1321788/)

Any villain I would cast to be the A-list star, depending on the character he or she was playing.

If his acting was considered laughably bad for Power Rangers standards.. and it was by the fandom.. :doh:

He definitely shouldnt NOT be mentioned in the same sentence as Spider-man. Plus, he's too old.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Isn't Dianna Agron a bit, I donno, bland?

I thought about Diana yesterday before she was mentioned, mainly because I was forced into watching "Glee"

The biggest problem with her is, she's turning 24 this year. I don't think she's a likely candidate if we're getting an MJ that looks 15 or so for the 2012 release.

[Sentinel X]

Peter Parker - Joseph Levitt
Mary Jane - Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Gwen Stacy - Allison Lohman
Harry Osbourne - ??
Aunt May - I know she'd never do it but I think Meryl Streep would be good.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Peter Parker - Joseph Levitt
Mary Jane - Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Gwen Stacy - Allison Lohman
Harry Osbourne - ??
Aunt May - I know she'd never do it but I think Meryl Streep would be good.

Last night my friend had mentioned Franco's little bro should probably be Harry. Other than that, no idea who would play him.

[RAMORE]

Out of the picks yall had I picked Jeremy Sumter with anton Yeltin as the perfect Harry Osbourne.

[BillyZaned]

The worst thing i can read in this topic. You're just kidding, right?


Taylor Lautner - Spiderman
Miranda Crossgrove - Mary Jane

[Dr Strange]

Alan Arkin as JJ!

[TheComicbookKid]

Who about Molly C. Quinn, who plays Nathan Fillion's daughter on Castle, as MJ?

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/9235/20981635.jpg

I believe she starred opposite Logan Lerman in a movie recently.

And if(big if) Percy Jackson does well, Logan may be the guy to beat. Not a shoe-in, but major props.

[Man of Tomorrow]

I think Logan is on the verge of becoming the next Yelchin and Shia; in order words, the kid that gets cast in everything.

Could be ideal for Spider-man to get him.

[Carlo Comicus]

Joseph Gordon Levitt for Peter Parker.

Zooey Deschanel or Evan Rachel Wood for Mj.

directed by Marc Forster.

[Project862006]

he annoyed me in the gamer commercials lol

he better be a good actor

also was age range are we going for ?

[batman44]

I went ahead voted for Logan Lerman, he hasn't dissapointed me yet since the first time I've seen him in Road to Perdition. Michael Angarano would be my second choice.

[CGHulk]

Zac Efron will be Peter Parker you wait and see. :(

[Boom]

I honest to God would not be shocked if they cast one of the following:

-Zac Efron
-Shia LaBeouf
-Robert Pattinson

[Chewy]

I honestly don't think Zac Efron would be that bad. Pair him up with the right director and he could turn out a decent performance

I'm not advocating it, simply saying it wouldn't be the end of the world

[Project862006]

Emma Stone would not be a bad MJ

[omid17]

what do you guys think about James McAvoy?

[Crook]

I honest to God would not be shocked if they cast one of the following:

-Zac Efron
-Shia LaBeouf
-Robert Pattinson
Can I ask why? These stupid casting rumors always pop up for every superhero movie, and EVERY time people fall for it like it's a possibility. Kutcher as Batman, Beyonce as WW, Timberlake as Lantern....honestly, it's NOT going to happen.

[Project862006]

what do you guys think about James McAvoy?

he is 30

[omid17]

he is 30damn

[Majik1387]

Well, if we're making a movie of the calibre that I would expect a proper Spider-man movie to be...

Peter Parker/Spider-man: David Kross (for obvious reasons).
Mary Jane Watson: AnnaLynne McCord (was great on Nip/Tuck).
Gwen Stacey: Jessica McNamee (a great, young Australian actress at the start of her career).
Adrien Toomes/The Vulture: John Malkovich.
Max Dillon/Electro: Ben Forster.
Mac Gargan/The Scorpion: Stephen Dorff.
Kraven The Hunter: Josh Brolin.
I like all this.:up:
Peter Parker/Spider-Man: Logan Lerman

Gwen Stacy: Dianna Agron

Mary Jane Watson: Scout Taylor Compton (VERY iffy on this. VERY VERY iffy. She's very hard to cast for and I don't like the suggestion of Emma Stone, who looks like a rat terrier to me.)

Kraven the Hunter: Oded Fehr

That's all I can think of off the top of my head. I wasn't made to be a casting agent. Lol.
I like this except for Scout. I'm no hater of hers, but I just don't see her as MJ.
what do you guys think about James McAvoy?
Too old. Never understood his appeal.

[Boom]

Can I ask why? These stupid casting rumors always pop up for every superhero movie, and EVERY time people fall for it like it's a possibility. Kutcher as Batman, Beyonce as WW, Timberlake as Lantern....honestly, it's NOT going to happen.
Because I'm really paranoid and don't trust the studio to not hire a mainstream heart throb.

[connor_in]

How about some others (for those searching out young actors)
Josh Hutcherson (currently 17, many credits, decent actor) - peter
Elisabeth Harnois (20) - Gwen
Molly C Quinn (16) - MJ

Also, don't care who they play just find a spot for them:
Alan Rickman
Nathon Fillion

[connor_in]

FYI JGL and Chris Evans (FF, NATM, Cellular) are the same age...born 1981.

Since Marvel and Disney are together (FYI, I know this is still Sony)...
just cast the cast of Sonny with a Chance and go on your way

(...that's a JOKE by the way)

:barf:

except JGL who I love an actor but hes too old. Its like the Fillon/GL thing all over again hearing his name

[Nathan]

Oh lord, those choices, except JGL as mentioned above, were horrid.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Gordon-Levitt is nearly 29. How is a 29 year old man supposed to believably play a 15-16 year teenager? You realize that 29 is close to twice as old as 15, right?

So, I am afraid to say it but you are wrong.
Obviously you never met 30 year old who is always carded when buying cigarettes.

I've met a few. Some adults look like teens. JGL is one of them.

[omid17]

i like JGL but he does not look like peter at all

[Blackman]

not really@ JGL looking like a teen. Young but not a teen

[VenomVsSpidey]

you guys really screwed the pooch with this one :up:

[Man of Tomorrow]

Indeed.

Levitt can never pass for a 15 year old Peter, especially for a 2012 release.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/377/levit.jpg



MTV's choices are usually bad and way off anyway.

[MessiahDecoy123]

i like JGL but he does not look like peter at all
he looks more like Peter Parker than Maguire ever did.

[Castro]

This all sounds terrible, so they are going TDK style with a bunch of real teenagers?

[MessiahDecoy123]

Indeed.

Levitt can never pass for a 15 year old Peter, especially for a 2012 release.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/377/levit.jpg



MTV's choices are usually bad and way off anyway.
where does it say Peter will be 15 in the reboot?

Peter will probably be in high school for one movie then be an adult for the rest.

[Hurm...]

Justin Bieber for Peter Parker/Spider-Man...


:dry:

[Majik1387]

JGL is too old for the direction the reboot is taking. He looks too old to be in high school, even for just one movie. He also looks too old for early college, if the whole reasoning is high school first movie, college second movie.

He's too old. He would have been a better choice than Maguire in Raimi's, but that time has passed. Time to think of someone new.

[Man of Tomorrow]

They're obviously going for Ultimate Spider-man as the inspiration for the reboot.

Teenage spidey in highschool dealing with contemporary problems and his superpowers, while going through teenage life.


This isn't gonna be some flashback to him as a highschool senior like in Raimi's Spider-man; we're actually getting Peter as a kid with his teen years fleshed out.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Justin Bieber for Peter Parker/Spider-Man...


:dry:

Spider-man needs to be over 3 feet tall at least.



And have testicles.

[Hurm...]

Spider-man needs to be over 3 feet tall at least.touche.

[omid17]

Brett Harrison is a coo pick

[Spider-Fan83]

has anyone consider that, Kelly Blatz, guy??

Who's he? :o

[BrollySupersj]

The kid from Kick-Ass would not be such a bad arrangement, I wouldn't mind that.

[Doctor Jones]

He has a girl's name and a v neck.... pass

[Man of Tomorrow]

That's the kid from that cancelled show Aaron Stone.

I guess he could be decent but I have a feeling they will persue someone with actual film experience realistically.


Look at the castings for SM1, they all had prior movie experience.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Aaron Johnson from Kick-Ass is a solid pick.

[Nathan]

has anyone consider that, Kelly Blatz, guy??
http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/1430/10015slide1.jpg (http://img706.imageshack.us/i/10015slide1.jpg/)

As far as looks go, he'd make a great Peter Parker, but i haven't seen him act yet.

[That person]

How about Robert Knepper for Osborn? http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI0MjA4OTI1OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTYyODY4MQ@@._ V1._CR0,0,450,450_SS90_.jpg

[cerealkiller182]

I think Aaron Johnson would make a better Harry than Peter

[Man of Tomorrow]

I think they'll realistically go for American actors like in the first film.

[NinjaCarm]

On wikipedia for Tobey Maguire it says Sony tweeted they are interested in Logan Lerman for Peter Parker. I don't know how to find the twitter for this, if it's even true.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobey_Maguire

[cerealkiller182]

Seems like we would hear about a Sony tweet from legit sources before wikipedia.

[TheComicbookKid]

I doubt Sony would tweet about anything especially not as important as who they are interested.

[Dark_Lord]

Seems like we would hear about a Sony tweet from legit sources before wikipedia.

That's what I'm thinking. I don't know if Sony has another twitter page, but I found this one (http://twitter.com/sonyPictures) and it doesn't mention anything.

[OptimusPrime114]

Part I: The Kids

Aaron Johnson as Peter Parker/Spider-Man

His superhero experience in Kick-Ass can be put to good use as Spidey. He can be funny with and/or without the costume. Besides: If anything, at least he's far better than a Disney boy, right?

http://www.efavata.com/CBM/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/kick-ass-aaron-johnson.jpg

Emma Stone as Mary-Jane Watson

This is a fan-favorite to take Dunst's place as the red-hot redhead. And I agree.

http://the-frat-pack.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/emma-stone.jpg

Taylor Momsen as Gwen Stacy

Some fans want her for Gwen Stacy and I concur. She's may be Gossip Girl, but then again, Blake Lively is Carol Ferris. Plus, she looks like Gwen in this picture here.

http://www.stylehop.com/fashion-blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/taylor_momsen.jpg

Anton Yelchin as Harry Osborn

Some people want his for Spidey, but I think he'd be better suited as Peter's pal. If you've seen him in Charlie Bartlett, his personality obviously speaks Harry Osborn. Plus, he already met Iron Man!

http://fusedfilm.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/anton-yelchin.jpg

Nina Dobrev as Liz Allen

In case you don't remember she's Elena on the Vampire Diaries. I chose her because she's underrated, not Disney, and if you've seen SSM, Nina actually bears a resemblance to Liz.

http://www.laguiatv.com/img/galeria_imagenes/fotos/Nina-Dobrev-CV-290909.jpg

[craigdbfan]

Like most of those picks for the exception of Taylor Momsen.

Get that crack head out of that list.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Haha, I've met her. She's not that bad.

[Castro]

Eh, if they do really go that young, i like the Kick-Ass guy as spidey and i do like Anton and Emma Stone.....

[terry78]

Aaron Johnson would be a typecast and somewhat derivative choice. He's already a Peter Parker-like character in Kick-Ass.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Aaron Johnson would be a typecast and somewhat derivative choice. He's already a Peter Parker-like character in Kick-Ass.


I was just about to say that.


To me, Aaron Johnson is a very UNLIKELY choice, given how insanely similar his Kickass character is to a teen Peter Parker, observe:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oy4IFvH2Tc


It's the equivalent of getting Drake Bell to play Spider-man after spoofing him in "Superhero Movie" .....it just won't happen



Will fanboys listen to logic on this one though? Of course not. I'm sure Aaron will continue to be suggested here despite his obvious unlikelihood.


Same with Joseph Gordon Levitt.

[craigdbfan]

I like the idea of Stephen Lang as J.J. Inspired choice.

[[A]]

I'm not sure how you could replace JJ, JK Simmons pretty much owned the partThat will always be the best comic-book casting ever (to me).

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Peter Parker/Spider-Man - Jesse Eisenberg or if older Levitt or Elijah Wood. Sorry folks, Anton Yelchin looks so damn geeky he'd be unbelievable as Spider-Man.

Mary Jane Watson- Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Harry Osborne- Emile Hirsch

Norman Osborne/Green Goblin- William Fichtner or Daniel-Day Lewis

Adrian Toomes/Vulture- Ben Kingsley or John Malkovich

Aunt May- Helen Mirren

Uncle Ben- James Garner or Ed Asner

Robbie Robinson- Ernie Hudson

J.Jonah James - J.K. MUST STAY! DO NOT RECAST HIM! But if you must... William H. Macy would be my guy.

Kraven the Hunter- Gerard Butler

Flash Thompson- Travis Van Winkle or Mark Salling

Gwen Stacy- Amber Heard or Emma Stone

Dr. Otto Octavius/ Doc Ock- Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Dr. Curt Connors/ The Lizard- Hugh Laurie

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin- James Gandolfini

Max Dillon/Electro- Matt Dillon

Cletus Kassidy/Carnage- Robert Knepper, Jackie Earle-Haley, or Jake Busey

Mysterio- Mark Strong (After seeing him as Lord Blackwood in "Sherlock Holmes" I thought his voice would be perfect either for Mysterio or as Dr. Doom in a "Fantastic Four" reboot.)

Will update with more ideas later....

[OptimusPrime114]

If Emma Stone gets Mary Jane. I'll cry. She really has such a dog face. And in the case of Mary Jane looks are important.

[Majik1387]

Emma Stone is far from a dog-face.:o

Though I wouldn't want her for MJ

[terry78]

Emma Stone just has that look where you can tell every word out of her mouth is going to be sarcastic. MJ is like that in some stories, so it depends.

[JustABill]

She's a great actress and funny as hell, but she's just got this face that makes me worry. She looks like that recent bucktoothed cover of Mary Jane they had. That's what she looks like to me.

[Majik1387]

Emma Stone is Batgirl, not MJ.:cwink:

[OptimusPrime114]

Digital Spy are saying Robert Pattinson and Michael Cera are in the running.

I hope Pattinson gets rubbed off the list fast that guy looks too odd and can't act at all.

yeah you guys....this reboot is already looking good

[OptimusPrime114]

yeah you guys....this reboot is already looking good

I hope you're being sarcastic.

[JustABill]

Oh come one. Pattinson, LaBeouf, Cera. All these people stand no chance of getting the role.

Sony's going to go for someone with a lower price tag than these guys.

[FaT_tONle]

Sony is in the business of making money... if I am Arad I am on the phone with Cera's and Pattinson's agents right after I shook hands with Raimi before showing him the door.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

UPDATED:

Peter Parker/Spider-Man - Jesse Eisenberg or Cory Monteith from "GLEE." If older Levitt or Elijah Wood.

Mary Jane Watson- Mary Elizabeth Winstead

Harry Osborne- Emile Hirsch

Norman Osborne/Green Goblin- William Fichtner or Daniel-Day Lewis

Adrian Toomes/Vulture- Ben Kingsley or John Malkovich

Aunt May- Helen Mirren

Uncle Ben- James Garner or Ed Asner

Robbie Robinson- Ernie Hudson

J.Jonah James - J.K. MUST STAY! DO NOT RECAST HIM! But if you must... William H. Macy would be my guy. Someone suggested Stephen Lang but to me he's Cable.

Kraven the Hunter- Gerard Butler

Flash Thompson- Travis Van Winkle or Mark Salling from "GLEE."

Gwen Stacy- Amber Heard or Emma Stone

Dr. Otto Octavius/ Doc Ock- Phillip Seymour Hoffman

Dr. Curt Connors/ The Lizard- Hugh Laurie

Wilson Fisk/Kingpin- James Gandolfini

Cletus Kassidy/Carnage- Robert Knepper, Jackie Earle-Haley, or Jake Busey

Mysterio- Mark Strong (After seeing him as Lord Blackwood in "Sherlock Holmes" I thought his voice would be perfect either for Mysterio or as Dr. Doom in a "Fantastic Four" reboot.)

Alex O'Hirn/Rhino- It's left-field casting but Patrick Warburton has made a living playing muscular dimwits. 'Prison Break's' Wade Williams wouldn't be bad either.

Flint Marko/Sandman- Henry Rollins or Dominic Purcell

Electro- It depends on which version they'd go with but Wentworth Miller wouldn't be bad.

Venom- Ultimate or McFarlane version? That is the question.

[OptimusPrime114]

Oh come one. Pattinson, LaBeouf, Cera. All these people stand no chance of getting the role.

Michael Angarano has a smug face and no neck.

I wanted Logan Lerman as Robin,but saying as how that will NEVER happen,Spider-Man is his best bet.

Im not worried that this movie will turn into a teen flick,cause what will make this work?...ITS SPIDER-MAN!!! I just hope Spidey doesnt become a smug jerk whose face I want to punch...Like Michael Angarano,lol.

I want good actors who wont ham it up and make it like American Pie meets Spider-Man.

[Project862006]

do people really want a 15 year old mj and peter ?

i dont have confidence in actors that young

Who? Winstead? :huh: She's 25.

[Spider-Fan]

I'm hoping we focus on Gwen in the reboot as opposed to MJ.

Winstead is a good choice for MJ, so maybe for a sequel to add a love triangle just like the comics did it, but I'd prefer we focus on Gwen Stacy as THE girl this time. MJ got her time in the sun, so let's do some variety, since I expect Ock and GG to repeat in this series, we need to make it fresh somehow.

[Sawyer]

I was slightly hesitant about casting a CW person and a little weary about her age, but seriously how perfect would she look as Gwen? I can see her in the headband already...

[Heretic]

This franchise is being rebooted to put Peter back in high school...and most of the casting choices for Peter and MJ have been actors who are on the wrong side of 25...the franchise is likely to stay in high school for a movie or two, so apparently half this board wants to see people in their 30's in high school, which is a tad weird.

[Bunker]

Peter Parker/SM: Joseph Gordon Levit
MJ: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Gwen Stacy: Laura Vandervoort

I love Katie Cassidy, but just like Mary Elizabeth Winstead. She's too old. People above 21 are not going to get any roles in this film.

[Spider-Fan]

Not necessarily true. Someone whom looks young, and is around 23-25 can still get cast as a high school student and it can work. You just have to look young.

Plus, people are assuming he'll be in high school more than 1 film. Who is to say that in the sequel he isn't starting college? That would make casting a person 23-25 passable to do.

[Sawyer]

That's what I was afraid of. But at least unlike some people (*cough*JGL*cough*) she can still pass as a teenager IMO. But yeah, if Gwen ends up being in more than one movie, I dont think she'd be a good choice age-wise.

[Project862006]

stop watching TF films and go watch his other movies he can act sorry last time i saw Michael he had a damn monkey tail on

[FaT_tONle]

JGL played a high school kid at 23ish in Brick. Have to say... it's not the most believable thing. But yeah Tobey was almost thirty when he got casted so it is what it is. I just prefer they stick to someone below 20. It's easier to make someone look older at 21 than it is younger.

F**k no. ....F**k yes.

Despite the gauchness I think you've been tainted by someone:

Valium-Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTihsJQHt48)

I think J.K. Simmons should keep his role as J.J. Jameson as he played the role brilliantly.

I was strictly averse to Zac Efron being considered as Peter Parker/Spider-Man. However, I have seen a number of people who say that he was good in Me & Orson Welles and can indeed act well. My top choice for the webbed wonder is Anton Yelchin. I'm not keen that he's already cross-pollinated two big film franchises (Star Trek and Terminator) and 'star saturation' is not a good thing. Despite it all he would really play a convincing Spider-Man. He can easily get a personal trainer to sort out his physique.

Why would you reboot if you're just going to put him back into college that quick? That's where he was at the end of 3.

Logan Lerman is the only correct answer to the question of who should play peter parker.

Except for Anton Yelchin I don't know any of those teen actors on that list.

But does Sony want an unknown because kid actors in their late teens/early 20's are hard to come by or unless they pick someone in their mid-20's with a few acting credits under their belt.

http://www.moviehole.net/img/dano.jpg

[Kane]

I think Mary Elizabeth Winstead, a suggestion that has been around since the very first Spider-Man film, would still be a great choice for MJ.

Honestly, Christoph Waltz would be great in any role. Think about it. I always thought he would be an amazing young Magneto. But now with the Spider-Man reboot, I think he'd be great for Norman Osborn. But I would be kind of disappointed if they went with Green Goblin again as the villain, but they could still establish the character's existence, and he'd be perfect. Mark Strong is another great candidate for Norman/Green Goblin, imo.

Call me crazy, but I think Patricia Clarkson would make a great Aunt May. Provided they'd have to age her a bit, but it shouldn't be too hard or anything. A wig and some make-up. I think she has a great face for the character, and she's a terrific actress.

Philip Baker Hall or John Getz are a couple of choices I have for Uncle Ben. Someone that looks like they could be very fatherly and has a certain warmth about them. These two actors were just two of several choices I have, but from what I've seen them in, they do have that presence about them that would fit the character.

J. Jonah Jameson is kind of hard. I really love the suggestion above of Stephen Lang. haha, how about R. Lee Ermey? John C. McGinley?

Doc Ock is another difficult one, since I thought Alfred Molina was perfect. Would John Carol Lynch be absurd? I can definitely picture him playing the character.

I think Andrew Garfield would make for a great Harry Osborn.

Now, for Peter Parker/Spider-Man. The most difficult role to cast, pretty much. I actually like that Reece Thompson plug that someone made above. He has the look, and I liked what I've seen of him. I'm also privy to Aaron Johnson and Patrick Fugit. It's definitely easier to pick actors who can play nerdy, but it's hardy to pick ones who can play both nerdy and a superhero. For example, I could say Jesse Eisenberg would make for a decent Peter Parker, but I just couldn't buy him as Spider-Man. That's the problem I have with the Michael Cera suggestions. Sure, he could probably pull off a great Peter Parker, but what about a great Spider-Man as well? Honestly, I would just opt for an unknown myself. Or someone that isn't really an established actor that everyone knows of.

[Goran]

Out of all these guys suggested in the poll, I could live with Logan Lerman the most.

He's not that ugly, quite handsome, has a nerdy look and resembles Tobey a little bit.

for anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about in regards to looking like peter, check out the percy jackson trailer and then check out ultimate spider-man run (benis/bagley). pees in a pod. I would definately be happy with this. in fact I almost hope percy jackson tanks so sony can buy him out of his contract on the cheap.

as for stan lee, anyone that can take marvel to court (the company you help found) isn't all sweetness and light.
stan's JJJ are absolutely classic

peter -'I didn't have time to develope the film'

JJJ - 'no problem, I'll just deduct it from your final pay'

no one understands JJJ like stan 'the man' lee and with all his cameos its time to give him a PROPER role.

You guys need a reality check.

[Mach2Infinity]

Sounds like someone's never had an enema or known what one looks like after getting one.

Looks like..I would have to agree with you. The actor in question does look to be in considerable pain given when one has an enema it "often resulting in very uncomfortable bloating, cramping, powerful peristalsis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristalsis), a feeling of extreme urgency and complete evacuation of the lower intestinal tract." He could be an extremely good actor on the other hand.

Is that what you look like after...nevermind, I dont want you to answer that.


I take it you had a different expression? I think I'd have keeled over but I hope I won't find out.

C'mon guys it was a humourous comment. It's nice to have a laugh when so often threads can dissolve into petty one-upmanships.

I do not think the actor would be good as Peter Parker because he looks too young and perhaps there's an issue to do with his physique. What roles has he played so far? I'm far more keen on Anton Yelchin as no other actor at this moment springs to mind. The other issue is not simply the casting of Peter Parker but of Mary Jane-Watson. The chemistry betwee the two will be key and only a screentest (to which none of us will be privy) will really tell us if they will cast the right actors.

b) is a bit skinny but PP/SM is also skinny (albeit ripped) in USM and SSM

Would be a great choice for Peter Parker. I wish Sony would sign him right now.

[OptimusPrime114]

Because the pics Spider-Neil posted are from several years back.

Logan is almost 18 now. I posted more recent pics above.

And these two shouldn't be let anywhere near the Spider-man franchise

One of these guys is more qualified for Jimmy Olsen rather than Peter.

Cera yes I agree. I'm tired of the same ol' shtick from him. Same with Shia, but Jesse Eisenberg could play a good Peter Parker/Spider-Man, but I don't see Aaron "Kick-Ass" Johnson going from playing Kick-Ass to playing Spider-Man---essentially Kick-Ass is a foulmouthed Peter Parker. Nothing new for him to do. And if Logan is playing Percy Jackson he's pretty much contractually obligated to fill that role until all the books are made or done or unless the first movie makes zilch for money.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

logan lerman

a) he does have a baby face but peter parker is 15 in USM and SSM and also has a baby face

b) is a bit skinny but PP/SM is also skinny (albeit ripped) in USM and SSM

c) if this is a trilogy set in high school for three movies with each movie coming out every three years then having someone natrually young looking is not a bad thing

I'd rather the movies start Peter at 16. Driving, prom, girls, popularity, those memorable times. I mean wasn't SM1 with Pete as a senior in high school? I would say 2 movies of high school and the third be freshman year of college.

two of the three are trilogies. its possible to get logan but I agree its unlikely.

It's 2010 now though, the sequel to PJ would likely be 2013. That leaves a huge gap leading into 2012 to film the Spider-man reboot.

exacty. principal filming usually lasts no more that 4-5 months and if sony actually keep spidey's frigging mask on he isn't needed for post.

[bjt]

In my opinion Steven R. McQueen, would be perfect as Peter Parker / Spider-Man.

http://lh3.ggpht.com/condegerald/SJD-lG62z0I/AAAAAAAAZ0Y/gwxo6705W4M/StevenRMcQueen15.jpg

[Man of Tomorrow]

The problem is McQueen can barely pass as a 15 year old on Twillight Diaries. Even the fans of that show say he's unbelievable in that age range.

By 2012 it would be worse.

In fact, he has a face of a boy of 15 years, but is rather "chunky"

http://static.thehollywoodgossip.com/images/gallery/jeffrey-dean-morgan-mary-louise-parker.jpg

The problem with Morgan is he has tendency of going from one size to another. He can get bulked up and fit for The Comedian but once filming is wrapped he returns back to being a creampuff. Besides, I'd rather have him be Lobo.

Now, Gerard Butler---there's your Kraven.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Thomas Dekker is so wrong for Peter Parker though.


I mean I know they want to go dark and gritty, but emo? :dry:

I don't see it.

[spider-neil]

ahhh, not having the usual 'oh, he's got to be ripped' debate is like a breath of frigging air.
if someone posts that the mentioned actors are skinny I am going to post a load of pictures showing utimate spidey as an absoute short arse TWIG.
USM is skinny

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I'll say it again. I think Corey Monteith (Finn) from "Glee" could play a good Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

[Klever13]

I love the idea of Jesse Eisenburg as Spider-man. He's just geeky and awkward enough to be Peter Parker.

Emile Hirsch would be ideal as Harry Osborn, and giving him 2-3 movies to expand that character and his resentment towards Parker would be fun to watch. Might be getting a little too old to pull off a teen, but he kind of has a baby face.

Jason Isaacs is my Norman Osborn. Awesome actor, could do a lot with the role.

Christoph Waltz or Mark Strong would make an excellent Doc Ock, but I think they might be over played in the villain role right now. (Waltz in Basterds and The Green Hornet and Strong in Sherlock Holmes and Kick-Ass)

[bjt]

I think Dakota Fanning would be a good Gwen Stacy, it was pretty much over the years and has the right age for the character.

That's a good suggestion Kal-El. He did rather good in the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles series and can no doubt act quite well. Given he's played a character that has the weight of expectation on his shoulders. He could understand and convey the pathos of a character that has great power and great responsibility. Remember whoever the actor will be will need to carry Spider-Man presumably over at least three films. Where added complexity and depth will be woven into the very fabric of the character. It's all and well displaying images of actors we think physically resemble a character. The question remains do they have the acting nous to portray the character as adroitely as possible? One last point. I's advantageous to consider an actor who's already been exposed to real stardom and publicity. As the franchise will no doubt attract huge interest from both the public and media. We'll need a man who can carry such a burden with ease. Which is one reason why I picked Anton Yelchin.

Unfortunately you may be right since it's all about maximising demographics and swelling the target audience for studios such as Sony. However, despite his High School Musical fame I have heard good things about Zac Efron's role in Me & Orson Welles. So if he can at least act well then there is hope. Furthermore, as a 'good looking' actor, it would be far more challenging for him to play a 'nerd' in high school who is not attractive to nor successful with the ladies to play such a role. If he can indeed execute such a character then the film will work. I think it would be cynical of anyone to dismiss Zac Efron out of hand if he does put in good performances such as his last one. It is difficult to progress from adolescent material to something more mature. In that regards I empathise with him since he has a reputation. Much like Robert Pattinson. We'll see. Cautious optimism.

efron comes with too much baggage i.e. it would be efron playing peter parker rather than a relatively unknown who woud BE peter parker

[VenomVsSpidey]

i should play Peter Parker

naw man, I already called it :o

[Mach2Infinity]

I admit it's a high-risk strategy to use someone such as Zac Efron. However, from an acting perspective. It would be fascinating to see him convincingly play a character such as Peter Parker. A character who is poles apart from his perceived status as a 'heart throb'. I understand the allure of using an unknown actor since they will not have a reputation or 'baggage' as you say. The caveat from such an approach is the actor will not have been sufficiently tested. I know each actor has their break-through role but to trust a lucrative and highly-successful franchise such as Spider-Man to a relative newcomer may be too much. I know that an unknown actor such as Chris Pine successfully took on an iconic role as James T. Kirk. So there are positive examples although for now. I would prefer to choose an actor who has at least shown glimpses of what we all would like to see in the next incarnation of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Macguire definitely wasn't an Efron type.


I seriously doubt Sony would sink to that low.


They already know the pitfalls of bad casting with the Dunst situation.

[Nightmare]

That's one thing im really happy about no more dunst and hopefully a new beautiful MJ.

[Man of Tomorrow]

The other thing is Sony really doesn't need a big name like Efron, Shia etc as Spidey to sell this thing.

The Spider-man franchaise has already proved itself to be a money maker, there's NO doubt. I'm pretty sure that's why Sony is so confident in this reboot idea, it's bound to sell regardless of Sam Raimi.

There's no desperation for a big name.

WB needed a big name like Reynolds as GL because there IS doubt about Green Lantern, but Spider-man is box office gold...

[Rodrigo90]

Heres a few teen/adult issues I would like to see.

1) The movie begins a few weeks after Uncle Ben's death,and Peter is just returning to School. He begins skipping classes (To become Spider-Man,who he already is before the start) and the teachers become concerned. He keeps avoiding meetings with the counsellor.
2) Aunt May is struggling with bills and worrying about her nephew as Welfare Officers get involved.
3) Peter decides to do as much help as he can for Aunt May and becomes a freelance photographer at the Daily Bugle and is took under the wing of the kind Robbie Robertson,while taking abuse from the mean editor. Even though Peter does not like JJ,who has been printing negative stories about Spidey,but its easy money for Aunt May.
4) The High-School prom is coming up and Harry Osborn's girlfriend Liz sets him up with her friend,Gwen Stacy. But Peter is shocked to discover her father is Captain George Stacy,the Officer who has been hunting Spidey since he started.
5) While Harry,is hiding a dark secret.

These two pictures are much better and at least he doesn't look constipated with that stupid grin. Having shown my appreciation for them he does strike me as having the same presence as Zac Efron. So if we were looking for a 'template' then in my opinion he would fit.

The other thing is Sony really doesn't need a big name like Efron, Shia etc as Spidey to sell this thing.

The basis for which I suggested Zac Efron has nothing to do with marketing but to do with experience. He has been involved in a widely 'successful' production such as the High School Musical series. So he's used to the glare of the media and public. By what I've read he was good in Me & Orson Welles. Which should not horrify nor dismay those of us who doubt his acting potential. Now I have a preference for Anton Yelchin as I already stated. Here's an image:

http://www.monstersandcritics.com/image.php?file=/downloads/downloads/people/Anton_Yelchin/images/Anton_Yelchin.jpg&height=280

There's another possibility in Patrick Fugit:

http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/8/6/7/8/16428768-16428774-large.jpg

He may be too old and at 27 years of age; where principal photography will begin next year, he'll be 28/29. So most likely a no but an intriguing one nonetheless.

Aaron Johnson maybe?

But I sort of think they should cast relatively unknown actors for the roles. You don't need to cast big names. It's ****ing Spider-Man for God sakes. People will see this movie still.
