Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[Doctor Jones]

Much better!

[Castro]

eh....dark and gritty...with a bunch of little kids........Spider-Boy......this movie is gonna end up more for kids...along the lines of Harry Potter and Those lion and the wardrobe movies and Narnia and Twilight and all that kids stuff.....which im sure is the audience the studios are looking to cash in on...

I understand the character is supposed to be in high school, but with Tobey, i never felt like he was really a high school kid which imo is better. Everyone was mature and made you look past their supposed age-made me ignore the high school part of it. These kids being shown are literally fresh out of high school or still in or they still look like they could pass for freshman. I just can't picture myself getting into a movie with a kid with no hair on his nads or ass fighting villains. It just seems like a Disney movie to me.

plz no more high school origins...just do flashbacks ala batman begins. =(

..hell even in most comics i saw, spidey looked like a young man around 21+ y.o.

[spider-neil]

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.


who know logan larman? I only know about him because I've been following percy jackson

[spider-neil]

my only negative about lerman is he has brown eyes.

[Boom]

I just can't picture myself getting into a movie with a kid with no hair on his nads or ass fighting villains. It just seems like a Disney movie to me.
But that's part of the appeal for me. The fact that he is a kid who puts his life on the line to protect others, without asking for anything in return. I imagine any 15-year-old who obtains superpowers would just end up abusing them. The sacrifices he makes, at that young of an age, make for a compelling character.

[The Lizard]

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.
http://desinformacoes.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/dakota-fanning1.jpg


Pretty much any young, cute blonde actress will work as Gwen if you stick a headband on her, but Dakota's a talented actress as well. She will be 16-17 years old during the filming of the Spidey reboot, so she's just the right age. A good choice.

Willa Holland and Amand Seyfried are too old.

[Rodrigo90]

Wow, I thought I would have a verbal beating if I suggested Dakotta as Gwen. She's fit nowadays. But didnt she star in (blasphemy) a Twighlight movie?

Lerman has blue eyes actually

Willa Holland and Amand Seyfried are too old.

Seyfried is. Hollands only 18 or so I thought.

That said, she's not right for MJ imo.

[JustABill]

Who cares about eye color though. Eye color is rarely ever important to a character. Unless it's someone like Storm, Gambit, etc.

[JustABill]

Seyfried is. Hollands only 18 or so I thought.

OH HOLLAND. Sorry. Got the wrong Willa's mixed up. For some reason I read Ford.

sorry 'DOESN'T' have brown eyes as peter's eyes are brown (hazel) but thats trival, tobey's eyes were blue as well.

[NinjaCarm]

It seems a lot can see the Peter Parker traits in Logan Lerman. I wish Sony would act on this.

[JustABill]

Lerman looks almost exactly like Spectacular Spider-Man Peter...

I saw him in meet bill and gamer and though the movies aren't great, he did a fantastic job. Actually he was the only part of gamer that I liked.

[Blackman]

I still think Angarano could pull it off. I know hes 22 but he still looks as young as alot of kids in my school

[spider-neil]

how out there would it be for josh keaton (voice of spidey in SSM) to voice spidey whilst in costume?

never happen but that would be sooo cool

[Nathan]

I'm surprised Devon Werkheiser isnt getting any love

He doesn't seem bad either. But I'm leaning more toward Leman, as I also get that Spectacular Spider-Man vibe form him.

I'd be happy with either if they can act.

[TheComicbookKid]

Isn't that Devon kid's name up there? Guess not many Ned fans.

My top 3 choices


The middle has my vote.


The other two look like dorks/Jimmy Olsen types.


Pete is awkward as a teen of course, but he believably needs to be played by someone who'd look like a younger version of the adult form we're all familiar with

http://spiderman3weblog.blogosfere.it/images/2006/06/scaled.Peter_Parker_Maschera.png


You need the right balance of teenage awkwardness and comicbook superhero looks.

[Rodrigo90]

Logan Lerman reminds me of Peter and...me and Peter Parker reminds me of...me. Golden combination.

I think the kid would do one of the greatest characters in history some serious justice. I dont need to see Percy Jackson to know this kid could be an awesome Peter Parker and Spider-Man.

[TheComicbookKid]

I dont need to see Percy Jackson to know this kid.

Go see Percy Jackson!:awesome:

[LadyVader]

Dude's goofy looking. In a bad way.

Goofy lookin'? What the heck does that mean? Yeah, he's not GAH-rgeous, and he's not cut like Taylor Lautner, He looks like a normal young man his age. Possibly even younger than he actually is. Since when is normal goofy?

I think he looks perfect for the part, isn't Spiderman supposed to be about the nerd, the outcast, the unpopular? Why not for once have somebody that actually LOOKS the part instead of having somebody like Tom Welling and everybody just take it for granted that somebody that drop dead pretty could somehow manage to NOT be popular in High School. :)

I should say at this point that while I think he looks the part and is a great actor, he's not in anyway perfect for the part. I have my own issues with this casting choice. But looks are definitely not part of it.

[NinjaCarm]

You know what stinks? That our expectations, for me Logan Lerman, won't be met. They'll end up with Shia Lebauf and make everyone mad.

Oy.

[Rodrigo90]

Well my petition for the cancellation of Reaper worked...uh oh.

[spider-neil]

You know what stinks? That our expectations, for me Logan Lerman, won't be met. They'll end up with Shia Lebauf and make everyone mad.

its up to lerman. the agents of all the actors who are brown haired, caucasian and aged 16-20 are going to put their clients forwards, so its up to him.

[Blackman]

If Percy Jackson is successful...its a mixed bag

if its really successful sequel would probably be put on the fast track basically taking up Lerman's schedule besides probably smaller projects

If its not successful I bet the studio will think hes not a big enough draw to the box office

If it gets good reviews, especially his performance, then he may stay in consideration.

Spidey isn't going before the camera until late 2010 for a 2012 release. Percy Jackson shot for like three months. We'll know by the end of Feb. if it's successful and could be in front of the cameras by July or Aug for a sequel.

[Blackman]

Logan Lerman? Yeah Ive seen him in Gamer where he was really funny same with Meet Bill

Neither which were good films, but he was good in them

[JustABill]

Rosemary Harris was a fantastic Aunt May. I'll miss her, but that photo Helen Mirren is a good representation of May. SADLY, we'll never get Helen Mirren as Aunt May.

to be honest I think she'd think spider-man is beneath her.

[Majik1387]

It is beneath her.

[JustABill]

to be honest I think she'd think spider-man is beneath her.
I love Helen Mirren. She probably wouldn't think it was beneath her (after all, she did the National Treasure sequel. :hehe:), I just don't think we are likely to get an Oscar winner as Aunt May.

As Dr. Curt Connors, perhaps...

Nathan Fillion (Firefly and Castle):

http://i45.tinypic.com/xduwjt.jpg

I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet. But I always thought Ray Wise would be the perfect Norman Osborn.

I don't the Goblin in part one, but establish Norman Osborn in this reboot. He's perfect.

[The Lizard]

Thanks! :up:

Nathan Fillion would work well as Connors because he's popular in fan circles and a good actor, but he's not "big" enough to have a problem with playing a role where he's only onscreen part of the time because the Lizard will of course be CGI/prosthetics.

[spider-neil]

he'd play the roll 100% as I'm certain lizard would have motion capture like avatar, so its a full time gig.

[Rodrigo90]

Is it wrong for me to have a crush on Aunt May if she is played by Helen Mirren? lol.

I, too, share your feelings. It's weird since the next oldest celeb I have a crush on is probably 20 years her junior. There's just something about Helen. :O

That's true.

Although the Lizard would not be visually recognizable as the actor that plays him because of his reptilian snout. It would be a bit different from Avatar where the Navi CG characters actually resembled the actors.

[Project862006]

i agree she is beautiful

[Nathan]

That's true.

Yeah, it would make more sense to get a stunt guy to do the motions, than have Fillion learn to move like a reptile when nobody can tell it's him anyway.

[spider-neil]

That's true.

the eye darts and the mouth would all be driven by the actor. also the lizard should talk, I can't tell you how much it pissed me off that venom and sandman were growlling and screeching like horror mosnters.

Ehh... not really. If they said Denzel Washington for Robbie, then yeah, too famous. But Ernie Hudson? His most recent movie is Smokin Aces 2... 2!! I dont think he's too famous at all.

He starred in Dragonball: Evolution for gosh sake. I'm sure he'd take the role if they offered it to him.

I do wonder if we'll have Brant in this film, they could easily go for Glory Grant at the Bugle to change it up slightly. In that case, I nominate Jada Pinkett Smith or a younger Jada for Glory.

Exactly. Personally I think Spidey would work best as a high budget television series, (live action) one which takes big influences from SSM.

But that's cool man. I'm in college at the moment, just trying to learn and improve and all that fun stuff. I'd love a chance to audition for something big, but I don't really live in an area where they do a lot of casting for big shows (Michigan). Unfortunately Michigan has become a great area to do shoots, but not so much for casting.

Playing Spider-man has always been a dream. Though to be honest, I have more of a Wolverine build. I'm 5'8 and 175 (and that's me at my leanest right now. A year ago I was 190) I'm not fat, which you would think from my stats, but I've just always been big into weight-lifting and training, so I'm kinda bulky. I'm not bad now, but I still look a little thick for Spidey. I suppose I wouldn't be a bad McFarlane Spidey though lol.

[The Lizard]

Since the cast is skewing much younger for the reboot, I'd say that Gary Sinise, at age 55, is too old to play Curt Connors. Since Connors is supposed to have a son that is 10 years old or younger, he should be in his 30s, not his 50s.

So here's another pic of 38 year-old Nathan Fillion:

I dont see Fillion as Conners at all.

Fillion would come across better as someone with more snark. Definitely not Connors material.

Nothing about Logan Lerman says book smart nerd.


Looks like a pretty boy to me.


and I saw nothing compelling about him in the Percy Jackson trailers. Just c-level reaction shots.

Why would you hand the keys to a billion dollar franchise to that kid. He doesn't even embody the character of Peter Parker.

[VenomVsSpidey]

like I said..if anyone knows where they hold auditions, I'm here :o

[Micah12345]

Uh...no to fillion. Let's try and get away from the, 'OOOOOO LOOK AN ACTOR I LIKE HE'D BE PERFECT FOR _____ ROLE!!!!' mindset, and think about who would be best for the character.

[Boom]

I'm gonna go with Aaron Johnson for Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

He doesn't have the pretty-boy look, but he's not ugly at the same time. He definitely has a "nerdy charm" to him.

[Goran]

[ModestMr.Green]

Wait until the third or fourth film for Venom, but in the meantime, I'd really like to see Michael C. Hall milling around the Daily Bugle as Eddie Brock. It gives the new Parker some time to grow up before things go completely awry, and they could introduce an element of Brock's rivalry with Peter growing out of the young hotshot coming in and laying his seniority to waste. That's contemporary enough. If not, I could see him pulling off a brilliant Norman Osbourne.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lh1HOvNynGY/Ssqv7u5tdSI/AAAAAAAAAiw/ID76MPNVxs4/s400/Michael-C-Hall_l.jpg

For those who don't know him, he plays the titular role in Showtime's Dexter. An excellent show, and he definitely has the acting chops for either role.

Other than brown hair and white skin, I don't see how Lerman looks anything like Peter Parker.

[JustABill]

Logan Lerman looks like Ultimate Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man. Both of which are two major high school adaptions of Peter Parker. What this film will have. He's a dead ringer for traditional modern high school Peter Parker.

And if it's cause he's attractive, well, Peter Parker is attractive. He always has been except for when played boy Tobey Maguire. He's one of them hot nerds.

[Nathan]

Peter Parker is like the ugly duckling. He starts out as a social outcast and totally geeky nerd. But once he gets bitten by the Spider, he starts to grow confidant. He isn't clumsy anymore and loses his glasses, since he doesn't need them anymore. And due to his new found confidance, even the girls seem to notice him a little more.

And honestly, even if he isn't a super model, he's been drawn as quite the handsome young man in the comics for many, many years.

exactly. he shouldn't be a 'hottie' but he should definately be good looking I think there is a difference between the two.

the person who should be a hottie is MJ she is supposed to be drop dead gorgeous, a head turner, someone who can bring the room to stand still (she even grows up to be a supermodel) and whilst I actually think dunst is a good actress, looks wise she didnt fit the part at all. to be fair she was 'kinda hot when she first landed the gig', bright red hair, full figure, round bust

As for Peter, and maybe this is downright flamebait to some of you, but I'd like to see Michael Cera in the role. Sure, he'll be twenty three in 2012, but he's twenty one now and still makes a (in my opinion) convincing sixteen year old in Youth in Revolt. If not, make Peter a junior. How much time can they really spend in high school? He's the awkward nerd, he can deliver a joke, and it would finally give him a chance to let loose. (Which YiR's Francois Dillinger tells you he wants to and can in fact do.) Not to mention how familiar he is to young adults these days. Even if his name isn't household, 'That guy from Superbad's' face and performances are.

That's why I've begun to tout an actor such as Zac Efron. Because from an acitng point of view, it shows great range if an actual 'hearthrob' can convincingly play an awkard and 'nerdy' teenager. I find the dichotomy fascinating and clearly with complexity and depth of the Spider-Man progressively will become deeper; we will need an actor who has sufficient range in order to convincingly convey the pathos of what he experiences.

Hehe now now :cwink:

I agree that she is a good actress but perhaps her depiction of Mary Jane-Watson for want of a better word was a little "orff" as we should say in the UK (but don't).

This has made me think about her character. Should Peter Parker meet her indirectly at the conclusion of the first film. Perhaps just as Mary Jane-Watson is becoming successful he sees her face on a billboard? Then end it where Peter Parker is sitting down in a packed theatre and is in awe at seeing her. Then leave it there....

I anticipate some angst.

I'm going to back raimi on the MJ plotline

SM1 - 2001 cast date

ASM - peter married to mj - no gwen in sight
USM - peter dating mj - no gwen in sight
90's cartoon - peter chasing mj - no gwen in sight

seriously, is it any WONDER he went with mj? if the GA had gone to the comic shps looking for the blond girlfriend of peter in SM1 they would have gone, 'the **** is this red head spider-man is married to?'

sam's mistake was having gwen at all, that ship had well and truly sailed.

[LadyVader]

I really don't get the love for Logan Leerman honestly. If Percy Jackson and the Olympians comes out and he kicks all kinds of ass then I'll definitely reconsider, but right now based on his portfolio I really don't see what he has done in the past so well as to prove he can do this role justice. I'm not being negative, I just don't see it.

[OptimusPrime114]

I think Michael C. Hall could be a great for a gritter Batman

You're crazy!

Bale is Batman, weird voice or not. End of story.

P.S.: Finally! A casting thread where SHE (and you know who i'm talking about!) is not mentioned.

[Mach2Infinity]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has Spiderman, especially since Marc Webb is a possible Directer choice............??

Unfortunately I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is too old to play a high school era Spider-Man. Although since you mentioned Batman here, I think he has the voice and look perfect to continue from Heath Ledger's Joker. An irony considering they both starred together in 10 Things I hate About You.

Going back to the Spider-Man casting question. I think it'll be the wrong approach if they go down the Tobey Maguire route; cast someone in their late 20's who looks young enough to be in high school. Clearly the next Spider-Man actor has to be much closer to the actual age range which he'll be playing. Since I suspect they'll want him to age and mature over four films at least. I say an actor between the 19-21 year age range. Anton Yelchin is 20 years old!

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I'm starting to jump on the Anton Yelchin bus. Him as Pete and Emile Hirsch as Harry would make a good team and they've starred in "Alpha Dog" before.

But just throwing this name out there, although I'm sure I'll get a, "He's too old!"

What about Jay Baruchel?

If this script is dark and gritty like the Nolan stuff, I strongly doubt we'll get a ridiculous nerdy Peter like Tobey played it.


We may just get a shy and reserved teen prior to the Spider-byte. Definitely not comic relief.

Or if anything, the movie may kick off with Peter already as Spider-Man, like how spectacular Spider-man started. Non-linear like Batman Begins.

This isn't American Idol.


The parts will be cast through official agencies; auditions with actors who have film experience.

I think you're wrong, I get the feeling they will cast the net far and wide, you're talking about the lead role in a franchise expected to span 10 years, no point in rushing it or not seeing as many candidates as possible.

[Man of Tomorrow]

There is a point in rushing it. They have a strict timeline to meet.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get some casting names under consideration a couple months from now.

Not to mention look at how Sony's previous Spider-Man films were cast...


Tobey, Kristen, James Franco, Willem Dafoe etc


How many of the leads were random candidates from the streets?


Even Tobey had "The Cider House Rules" and "Plesantville" and more..

well if that's the case then more chance for logan to get the gig as he will almost certainly audition for it

[Man of Tomorrow]

Obviously, Logan is very much on the verge of being the next Shia and Anton soon, the kid who gets cast in everything.


No doubt he'll be on the shortlist of considerations.


My post was in response to random SHHers on here thinking they can audition to be Peter Parker, it doesn't work that way.

I thought I saw that kid somewhere before. Eh, I suppose I could see it. Hard to say how he'd pull off a nerd from a bunch of suave womanizing footage, however.

You've got me sold. Now that I've seen the kid I think he would make a good Spider-Man. He deserves a shot at auditioning. To me the sort of mould for which I'm looking is Zac Efron/Anton Yelchin/Logan Lerman. He pulls it off with the ladies in the film despite being much younger. So he can go from geek to mr. confident and make it look convincing.

I'm buyng that film on DVD.

Warning: Any of you that dare cast a Twlight castmember in any of these roles will lose at least one limb. Be very, very careful.
Really? My first choice for MJ is Mary Elizabeth Winstead, but I think Ashley Greene could work as well... besides the twilight movies don't do her justice, but she's gorgeous...

there is a definately a peter/betty (brant) vibe with lerman and alba.

I was impressed with how effortless he handled the chemistry with Jessica Alba. Usually she doesn't titillate me in the acting stakes but their almost 'Mrs. Robinson' dynamic was interesting to watch. Especially as you can guage his body language. He doesn't strike one as being timid and I think he'd be one of these fearless actors. Willing to try things and make it work. He'll look a little older by the time they cast Spider-Man, if he gets the part. He'll obviously need to bulk up his physique but that'll be easy with a personal trainer, dietician and nutritionist. They can also use CGI for added physical tone.

to be honest I always wanted a wirey spidey, that's how I picture him.
I think that's why I always perfered ditko to romita snr because romita always drew spidey extemely muscular whilst ditko at made peter look his age, 15.

He doesn't have to go to extremes but a change in physique would help. At least added tone but some additional muscle mass would make a more convincing Spider-Man. Since he'll be wearing the suit of course we'll be able to see his physique. Furthermore, we know the 'money' shot will happen. It's simply to convey the change to his body since he'll end up performing extraordinary feats of strength.

[JustABill]

I'm still supporting Lerman as Peter/Spidey.

[Young Superman]

I still think Thomas Dekker would make a great Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the Reboot.

Aaron Johnson, Logan Lerman and Anton Yelchin are the only three people in this poll that aren't TERRIBLE TERRIBLE TERRIBLE choices.


I know we're suppose to hate this guy because he was a Disney kid. But he can act, he is in shape, and he's funny. He was perfect for Peter in "17 Again".

After having watched all of the sarah conner chronicles, I'm not a fan of thomas dekker. He just doesn't have the same charisma as lerman.

[JustABill]

I want Anton Yelchin for Harry. Sure, we just got a notorious pretty boy in James Franco, but Anton looks and sounds like Spectacular Spider-Man Harry.

[Micah12345]

Anton seems like a stretch for peter, but he'd be a fantastic harry.

[Micah12345]

I wouldn't be against zac efron. He supposedly has genuine talent.

Repost.

[JustABill]

You are right about Efron being a good actor, and getting a bad rep because of the HSM movies, but I don't see him as Peter. Most people wouldn't buy that the prettiest young pretty boy in Hollywood right now would have trouble getting the girl.

[Young Superman]

I respectfully disagree, I think Dekker has a lot of charisma.

[NinjaCarm]

Whoever suggested Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son, as Peter Parker, should be.... well, you could pretty much finish the sentence.

[DACMAN]

Have you ever read the comics? He has never had a hard time getting the girl after getting bite. MJ, Gwen, even Liz Allen was all over Peter afterwards. It would drive Flash crazy. Given they'd have to tone down the pretty boy look. But the way Peter is drawn, he is kind of a pretty boy.

By the way, I love you sig...:D

Sure, but before the bite, his glasses and lack of muscles was the only thing that really cursed his looks. Efron is just one of those cases where glasses is not gonna hide the fact he's such a pretty boy.

I would have liked Alicia Witt who was almost cast in SM1, but she's to old now.:(

[Majik1387]

Let Evan Rachel Wood sick to Mary Jane on Broadway. I don't like her at all for the role. She looks a bit older than what the reboot is supposed to be going for; Older as in developed and mature.

And Witt was a horrid choice.So glad they never went with her.

His hair cut is what does it for me. He used to have the dorkiest hair cut. They moved pretty far from that in the comics though.

[I Am Jack's...]

Logan Lerman is definitely the best choice up there. Yelchin should be Harry.

Yelchin would be amazing as Harry. Lerman as Peter, meh. Like I said, he wouldn't be terrible like the others up there. But, meh.
