Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[fullmetalRE]

Of the actors listed I'd have to go with Anton Yelchin. I can't believe Logan Lerman is leading this poll. Who is voting on this, 12-year-old girls? Seriously, that kid barely looks old enough to be in Middle School let alone High School. And what's up with some of those lame choices in the poll? Mitchell Musso? Jeremy Sumpter? Devon... Worcestershire? That sounds like the cast of a Disney Movie not a Spider-Man movie. Oh, wait... ****.

When people say Yelchin for Spidey it makes no sense whatsoever. Hes got so many projects coming up that if he were casted as Spidey he would have to drop Star Trek more than likely which wouldnt be a smart move on his part.

Lerman looks like he is in middle school?

Oh he looks like he is 5 for a 18 year old... :whatever: Out of them all he looks the part and has the size for a high schooler which is probably why hes leading the poll.

[The Bat-Man]

though, don't normally care for director's playing favorites (but, if Webb wanted to include someone from 500DOS) I was just thinking, what about, Zooey Deschanel for Brant???

Hey! I actually like that casting. Very nice suggestion.

[©KAW]

When will Sony make their decision already? all our suggestions will fall on deaf ears anyways.Hopefully. :hehe:

[Frodo]

I think Zooey would make a good Betty Brant. I also agree that Logan Lerman is a great choice for Spiderman. I'd also like to see how Aaron Johnson does as John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. I've never seen him act before, but he looks the part as well. I like Anton for Terminator and Star Trek, but not as Peter Parker.

Peter Parker:

Tommy Knight?

peter and harry look 7 and 8 respectively.
spider-man: the kindergarten years!!

[QWoods]

When I saw Joseph and Zooey in the elevator together I was like, look at Peter and Betty lol

[JustABill]

Yeah. Tommy is a little young looking, even if he can act. They are not going to cast a British actor as Spider-Man. That and Tommy can barely appear on his TV show (Sarah Jane Adventures) as is because of his school work, what makes you think he'd be able to do a major motion picture franchise?

[DACMAN]

Some of you people pick the worst possible people for these characters. Gordin-Levitt or however you spell his name is almost 30. We're getting a Spider-Man that's in high school!

http://s11.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/c/i/cibhdrnsjdujbidu.jpg (http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/tommy-knight.htm)

And then there's this guy who looks like he's 8 or 9.

[JustABill]

Wow. Those would be the oldest looking HS students ever. 90210's cast is more believable groups of teenagers than that cast.

[The Bat-Man]

Yeah, I know they're all kind of old. That's just my dream cast for a Spider-Man film. Not necessarily this film. Guess I shouldn't have posted it.

[JustABill]

Yeah, I know they're all kind of old. That's just my dream cast for a Spider-Man film. Not necessarily this film. Guess I shouldn't have posted it.
I mean sure. All of em are great actors, but they'd work better if they were contiuning from where Raimi left off. Save Deschanel who should actually be Betty Brant. :up:

[The Bat-Man]

Yeah, I agree. Credit goes to Spider-Fan83 for the suggestion of Betty Brant. I started to think about it and she became my favorite.

[FaT_tONle]

Iight so so far we got Lerman for PP, Momsen for Gwen, Johnson or Yelchin for Harry, Zooey for Brant, Lang for Jameson, but our MJ is still iffy. Still pretty solid if you ask me.

[flash13]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned her yet but I think Britt Robertson would make a great Gwen Stacy. She currently starring in the CW's Life Unexpected.

Aaron Johnson is high up on peoples list to play Spidey and he's English....

Joseph Gordon-Lewitt says that he had some talks with Marc Webb about it

Hmmmm.... interesting....

Still don't think they'll cast him, though. If they want to do the entire trilogy in highschool, then he's definitely too old, but if they want to do it like Raimi did and only make Peter in highschool for the first movie, then I don't know...

Anyway, here's a link to an interview where they asked JGL about him being Spidey: http://www.spidermancrawlspace.com/wordpress/2010/01/23/joseph-gordon-levitt-as-peter-parker/

:slowclap:

[craigdbfan]

hahaha.

She's right though. :hehe:

In the end I hope they cast someone not mentioned in this here thread.

Star would faint if she saw some of the suggestions in the Captain America casting thread.

Its as bad if not worse than some of the actors posted here.

[Sentinel X]

After hearing all the suggestions in this thread, I put together this list of actors I would like:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/Deaths_Head_II/SpiderMancast.png?t=1264133672

Logan Lerman - Peter Parker
Anton Yelchin - Harry Osborn
Stephen Lang - J Jonah Jameson
Ralph Fiennes - Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin
Jamie Lee Curtis - Aunt May (Ultimate Version)
John Malkovich - Adrian Toomes/The Vulture

I don't like Peter Parker but everyone else is GREAT!! :up:

although Mary Elizabeth Winstead would be the perfect MJ imo...I think she is too old for the vision they are going for (too bad) and so is Joseph Gordon Scott Levit

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

:dry:

[Compi716]

Peter Parker:

Tommy Knight?
(He can pull off an American accent)

http://s11.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/c/i/cibhdrnsjdujbidu.jpg (http://www.whosdatedwho.com/celebrities/people/dating/tommy-knight.htm)
Sorry, I just really wanted to quote this again. :hehe::lmao:

[Blackman]

lmao @ previous 3 posts

[Assassin]

Hey guys. This thread finally got me to sign up! lol

Here is my dream reboot:

Villain: Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan!)
Sub-villain: Mysterio (Ted Danson!)
Peter: Justin Bieber!!! Think about it. Cross over appeal, he's the right age. Perfect.
Maryjane: Dakota Fanning
Uncle Ben: Morgan Freeman
Aunt May: Glenn Close

I think with those actors being good actors and then with Bieber, this could be really good. Especially if they do Ultimate Spidey!!

I like this guy, he's got moxey

[cin0]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned her yet but I think Britt Robertson would make a great Gwen Stacy. She currently starring in the CW's Life Unexpected.

i was just about to say her but i lost my nerve.

[SpeterMan3]

Wait... Morgan Freeman?










:word:BEAST MODE:word:

[SP14]

will the general audience spend their money to watch a movie led by a no-name 17 year old kid?

Joseph-Gordon Levitt is the obvious choice here

[SpeterMan3]

Not necessarily, but they'll spend their money to watch a movie with Spider-Man in it. Put a mask on him and they'll forget about it.

[Nathan]

If he looks and acts the parts, I don't see why the GA wouldn't go watch the Movie, just because the actor is an unknown. I doubt they rushed to the theaters because Tobey was cast as Spider-Man.

[Sebastos]

This.

[SP14]

since the budget is so low, it's not like people are going to come and see some ill special effects. They are going to see acting and a lot of it. If the budget was not 80 million, i'd say sure, cast an unknown, as long as the effects kick ass. This time we're depending on something other than action/effects. Gordon-Levitt can be that something.

[craigdbfan]

Still dubious of that $80 million budget.

Sony would be fools to downgrade the level/amount of Spidey web slinging and fighting after what we've seen in SM1-3.

I'm hoping its bs.

[craigdbfan]

As can be someone we haven't seen before. Being unknown doesn't equal bad acting.

[SP14]

As can be someone we haven't seen before. Being unknown doesn't equal bad acting.

yeah i agree with that. The only issue i have is that 17-18 year old actors don't really "come off" as great actors. I would also like to see ANton Yelchin. He could pull it off, but committments to Star Trek, etc. makes it a pipe dream

[DACMAN]

Aaron Johnson is also weird looking and should NOT be Peter Parker.

And Tobey wasn't? The dude had bug eyes.

[DACMAN]

[itsleroy]

What about Tricia Helfer for Gwen Stacy? Or Aunt May?

Mmmmmmmmm. I want her in this movie :).

[JustABill]

If Tricia is ANYONE. It'd be Black Cat.

[Majik1387]

No thanks to Heffer

[itsleroy]

I wouldn't mind her playing Peter Parker..

Just let her play the entire cast.

=$$$$

[itsleroy]

(dbl post)

[Gamma Goliath]

JGL is waaaay to old for this movie

[craigdbfan]

I like Joseph Gordon Levitt as an actor but not for Peter Parker.

[Sebastos]

^ I've said it many times...

[NinjaCarm]

I'm so sick of some of these bogus suggestions.

Logan Lerman looks like the quintessential younger Peter Parker. The guy can act.

I mean, this scene looks like would be from a Spider-Man movie with him stumbling onto some trouble and having to change into Spider-Man.
http://www.aceshowbiz.com/images/still/percy_jackson05.jpg

[craigdbfan]

Yeah, Lerman is my top choice if not him than a random pick would be good too.

[Deaths Head II]

Yeah, when I first saw the Percy Jackson trailer I thought it was going to be a Spider-Man rip-off before I realized what it was.

[Gamma Goliath]

logan lerman would be great

[Nirvana]

All the casting choices in here are complete ****. :dry:

[craigdbfan]

All the casting choices in here are complete ****. :dry:

For the most part, I'd say yeah.

Logan Lerman is the only one I've liked out of all the suggestions and even then I know he probably won't get picked by Sony/Webb.

The best choice at this point is for them to hire someone not mentioned in this thread.

Captain Americas casting thread is nightmare though. All underwear models or male escorts or something, with no heroic panache like Steve Roger has.

Fan casting is pretty terrible a large majority of the time, period.

[SP14]

godd...whatever. i dont know about you guys, but i refuse to watch a movie with peter parker being portrayed by a little kid. if they really hire a 16 year old, then **** this movie

[Spider-Fan83]

^ first of all, 16, is hardly alil kid, these days, and secondly, who said anything about a 16 year old, I haven’t heard a single suggestion under 18 (17, maybe) the movie still a couple years out, and you also got to keep sequels in mind, sure, a teen might seem like a little kid, now (which would be kinda fitting for the role in the first movie, anyway) but, in a fews years when the squeal comes out, they'll be nearly in their 20's (and still playing a teen)

most people are just saying, they don't want to see a mid 20's + actor in the role of a teen
(I don't see how that unreasonable)
Yeah, when I first saw the Percy Jackson trailer I thought it was going to be a Spider-Man rip-off before I realized what it was.
my only concern about, Logan Lerman, would be if this Percy Jackson thing takes off, and like becomes the next harry potter series or something, he'll be pretty busy

[louiebling$]

You mmust have missed where a majority on that thread have narrowed it down to :

Garret Hedlund

Scott Porter

Teddy Sears

As well as some other solid choices

[Young Superman]

Thomas Dekker and Logan Lerman are my top 2 choices for the role of Peter Parker / Spider-Man.

[terry78]

Fans should not cast movies, period. As much as we don't want to admit it, the Hollywood machine is better at this **** than we are.

[craigdbfan]

None of them emit what Captain America/Steve Rogers are about, but more Calvin Klein underwear model.

Just because it gets narrowed down to fan favorites doesn't make them any better choices.

For Captain America I really hope they go with none of the choices that have been mentioned by fans.

Exactly.

[Deaths Head II]

I actually thought about that. I think in the end Sony will more likely go with someone more unknown.

None of the mentioned look like underwear models

[craigdbfan]

None of the mentioned look like underwear models

Bias is a thick veil which can more often than not conceal the truth.

Well I don't want to drag this off topic discussion on any longer but anyone here is free to find images of these guys and their filmography and see if any of these "brahs" are apt to play Captain America.

They need to find an actor with a Jermey Renner vibe of solidarity and badassery displayed in the battlefield (Hurt Locker).

None of those guys have that. They look far more concerned if they've plucked their eyebrows correctly in the morning or not.

[The Bat-Man]

Eh, I am aware that I shouldn't be doing the casting for the film. Some of you guys should really relax. All of this is just for fun. I know the actors I picked won't get the part. I just saw everyone else doing it, it looked like fun, so I decided to show you who I thought would make an excellent Spider-Man cast. Take a chill pill. It's not like Sony is listening to us. Just doing this to pass the time.

[Darkness Falls]

probably a long shot but ......zachary quinto as Electro

[UltimateJustin]

Mila Kunis seems to be the obvious/fav choice for MJ.

[itsleroy]

[jasontodd]

Emma Stone for Mary Jane Watson. Girl next door beautiful with a little bad girl edge and eyes that look like Romita drew them. Also someone that conceivably could be a supermodel. Proof in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkCtTx_eG4&feature=related

[Spider-Fan83]

Fans should not cast movies, period. As much as we don't want to admit it, the Hollywood machine is better at this **** than we are.
I just enjoy fan casting, for the sake of fan casting, I don't actually believe, any of my or most other choice will happen, its just fun to play around with different ideas

although, you got to admit that fan casting has actually improved over the more recent years, an alot more fan picks, have actually been getting roles, then ever before...

I mean for years the only name fans could claim was, Bale, but, think about how many movies just the last few years have been cast with fan picks (not necessary because they were fan pick, probably more accurate to say despite them being fan picks lol, but, still)

[Goran]

Logan Lerman - Peter Parker
Anton Yelchin - Harry Osborn
Stephen Lang - J Jonah Jameson
Ralph Fiennes - Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin
Jamie Lee Curtis - Aunt May (Ultimate Version)
John Malkovich - Adrian Toomes/The Vulture
This is the best casting i have seen in this thread. Its not the best picture of Lerman but he is the best choice. Add Emma Stone to the cast and we are ready to roll.....

[Spider-Fan83]

I very much like the idea of Fiennes as Norman, as well as the idea of Yelchin as Harry, but, I kinda have a hard time picturing these two as a farther/son...

I like the two ideas, separately, but, I don't think I'd take both together

[ross2287]

I don't know who he should play, but I really think Jeremy Irons needs to be in this movie series. Maybe as a slimmer Doc Ock?

[itsleroy]

Whenever I see Ralph now I think of his character from Schindler's List.. not a good comparison.

I want Anton for PP.

By the way, Logan Lerman has the next Percy Jackson film set to release in 2012. That would most likely conflict in filming Spider-Man. So, I don't know if he's too likely to get the role.

[Nathan]

Yelchin is still the perfect Harry Osborn.

[JustABill]

Logan Lerman's next Percy Jackson film might not happen if it's box office doesn't do very well.

[Young Superman]

Emma Stone for Mary Jane Watson. Girl next door beautiful with a little bad girl edge and eyes that look like Romita drew them. Also someone that conceivably could be a supermodel. Proof in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkCtTx_eG4&feature=related

Agreed, Emma Stone would make a great Mary Jane Watson.

[ross2287]

Regarding Emma Stone, she needs to lose some weight in her face.

I think "Percy Jackson - Lightning thief" will be the next "Golden compass": great books, underperforming movie... resulting in Lerman not being comitted to make sequels.

Thus he'd be free for Spidey ;)

Wow. How can anyone look at this and not see how potentially great looking she can be in the role? I know there are moments where she looks a bit average, but this vid proves that with just a teeny bit of work, she can be made to look like a supermodel.

[terry78]

Regarding Emma Stone, she needs to lose some weight in her face.

And it begins. :o

[Young Superman]

Emma Stone or Emma Roberts for MJ.

[Dangerous]

Emma Stone- NO.

[Dangerous]

I'd take Rachel Bilson as MJ, but prob just because she is super fine.

But Mary Elizabeth Winstead is the best choice I have seen thus far.

Not only is she pretty enuff, she actually looks like MJ with her hair red.

[Hurm...]

I honestly find Stone alot better looking for MJ than MEW.
And I think she might be a better actress than her as well.

[JustABill]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead looks 80 times better than Butter-Face Stone.

[louiebling$]

OHH.... MYY.... LANTA!!!!!!!!!!! :heart:

[DorkyFresh]

MEW definitely has the looks for MJ, and in different circumstances she'd probably be perfect....however, if they're putting the characters back in high school she's an unrealistic candidate as she looks like a college student at her youngest. so while i agree that she's hotter than Emma, Stone is the more likely/realistic of the 2 choices.

Stone's not the most perfect girl for MJ, but she's tons better than Dunst. i, personally, would rather see someone else but i certainly wouldn't be whining if she got the role.

[Crook]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead looks 80 times better than Butter-Face Stone.
She doesn't look butter-faced in that youtube vid. :cmad:

[DorkyFresh]

i don't think she's a butterface at all. she looks kinda funny when she smiles, but she's definitely a pretty girl.


Dunst on the other hand.......

[Dangerous]

I honestly find Stone alot better looking for MJ than MEW.

Give me a break, MEW knocks your socks off.

Mila Kunis seems to be the obvious/fav choice for MJ.

with her masquito bite breaseses

[Majik1387]

I love Mila Kunis, but she's too old to play high school MJ. Plus I don't even know how she'd look with red hair.

[itsleroy]

with her masquito bite breaseses

Lmfao. Made my day dude.

I love Mila Kunis, but she's not Mary Jane material.. I still think of Jackie Burkhart whenever I see her. Egh.

[Sentinel X]

Do people really think Stone looks better than MEW?...time for math lesson 101.

MEW = Smoking Hot
Stone = Cute
Smoking Hot + Red Hair = MEW + Red Hair = Mary Jane
MEW already has red hair therefore, MEW = Mary Jane.

Its that simple :cool:

she was one of my picks back in the day and she still look good as f. i dont care how old she is i would choose her over emma stone any day. and if emma stone still looks like she's in highschool so does mary they look the same age to me. mary looks better, though. every time i see " o she would be good but she's too old now" i get the feelin everybody's lookin at there picture and then changin their mind when they find out their age. its like no one cares if they look like there in highschool unless they're still in highschool. age doesnt matter to me looks do.

[Majik1387]

;17988994']..because they're using really young characters, that are in high school? :huh:
Yet the actress is 28....

[DorkyFresh]

Are we gonna hear some casting news soon or what? Something....?
they JUST decided on a reboot and a director....it will be a while before they announce any casting decisions. have patience, the more they rush things the more likely it will end up like Dragonball: Evolution *knocks on wood*

[alamdamai1]

guys, i'm trying to start a poll at http://boards.sonypictures.com/spiderman/ in order to rally for support in order to help Mary E land the role of MJ....but before that, may i kindly enquire would you guys lend some help in that forum?...:bow:

[Nightmare]

She is :(

[alamdamai1]

She is :(

thanks bro for your kind reply which is highly appreciated...but in another thread, i guess you did mentioned those fansite polls do work...

hence, would you still help out even though the poll would not necessarily initiated by me and can be started by other fans...:yay:

[NinjaCarm]

Yo comprende, but soy muy excited! You know...?

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Some of you are pretty harsh on Emma Stone. I mean "butter-face?" Far from it.

My only problem with her is she's got a deep voice but I think she's quite sexy and I think she's closest to looking like MJ and she fits the age Sony's looking for.

[Assassin]

i liked her in zobie land but no thanks

[NinjaCarm]

Peter Parker = both first and last name starting with same letter = Logan Lerman

[spider-neil]

SPIDER-MAN: BATTLE OF THE ACRONYM!!!

starring

JGL and MEW

[GoldGoblin]

Gwen could be the main girl this time,not MJ,you guys should cast someone for her.

[craigdbfan]

Amber Heard for Gwen Stacy. She is 23 and smoking.

[Cuyan]

So the big defining factor on who should play Gwen is apparently blonde hair.

[LegendaryCaleb]

a big heck yes to amber heard

[The Bat-Man]

I'm all for Amber Heard as Gwen Stacy. Sexy, sexy.

As for Spider-Man, I have the perfect candidate: me.

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4286/67077597.jpg

All kidding aside, I really like Joseph Gordon-Levitt. I didn't at first, but he's grown on me. Logan Lerman has the look, I'm just not convinced that he can pull off that acting. After seeing JGL in (500) Days of Summer, I think he would do just fine.

[JustABill]

Amber Heard is too smoking for Gwen. Gwen should be simply cute as a button. MJ and Felicia are smoking. Gwen's cute with a sweet personality that guys like.

Heard should be Felicia if anyone.

Plus GoldGoblin, the film can have both Gwen and MJ and have the focus on Gwen. It's not entirely impossible to have them both at the same time. It's not unprecedented in any of the media forms Spider-Man's been in.

[DorkyFresh]

Amber Heard is too smoking for Gwen. Gwen should be simply cute as a button. MJ and Felicia are smoking. Gwen's cute with a sweet personality that guys like.

exactly...just cuz a girl is attractive doesn't mean they fit Gwen or MJ. they have different looks and personalities and you pretty much nailed it. Gwen is the REAL girl next door type, kind of innocent and sweet. MJ is supposed to make guys instamatically **** in their pants.

so if anything Amber Heard would be better off for MJ, but i think she's a bit too old. she could pass for a Senior high schooler, but not as a Freshy or a Sophy.

[Doctor Jones]

You can't hire a Peter who's good looking or a pretty boy. He needs to be average looking to decent. But he has to have charm and charisma to make up for it.

[JustABill]

Peter is always good looking and slightly pretty boyish in most art since the early 90s. If not late 80's.

That was one of my problems with Tobey, he's ugly and Peter's never been ugly.

Peter's like the male version of the girl from She's All That and other cliches of the sort. Take off his glasses and surprise they were the only thing making him ugly.

[Nathan]

Peter was always a handsome fella once he ditched his glasses and gained some confidence.

[JustABill]

Yep. He was always handsome from the beginning. Girls just never noticed him because of the glasses and lack of confidence.

[batboy99]

Heard fits Felicia to a T.

[batboy99]

Do people really think Stone looks better than MEW?...time for math lesson 101.

MEW = Smoking Hot
Stone = Cute
Smoking Hot + Red Hair = MEW + Red Hair = Mary Jane
MEW already has red hair therefore, MEW = Mary Jane.

Its that simple :cool:See, I dont think so. I personally find MEW cute. She has a very cute look to her. I dont find Stone perfect either, but in terms of this role, I do think shes a better fit look wise and age wise.

MEW fits regular, 616 MJ better, but Stone fits USM MJ more. Plus, shes younger.
Give me a break, MEW knocks your socks off.
Never said I didnt like her, I do.

[TheWatcher]

We All do.She's Smoking!

I think gwen should be more of an undercover sexy. like underneath everything she looks just as good as mj but she never cared to show it and didnt really know it herself and then she changes and we see how good she looks. id like that.

[cin0]

she's not that far from it. i dont think she looks anything like mj other than the red hair, im sure we could get alot closer than her for mary jane.

defintely Black Cat

[JustABill]

That's not even true to Gwen's character. Gwen has never been a bombshell and never should be. She should be the cute next door girl. MJ and Felicia have always been Spidey's bombshell hotties.

[cin0]

since when is it hard to make someone sexy look plain lookin. would be any different than peter goin from bein a nerd to bein a regular guy. i dont see y makin her character be really good lookin is a problem if she starts off plain. things change she doesnt have to stay that way up until she dies.

[Gunga Diner]

Get a young, under 21 unknown who can act. Get a kid who looks like he'd have trouble functioning socially or talking to girls.

[Artistsean]

That's not even true to Gwen's character. Gwen has never been a bombshell and never should be. She should be the cute next door girl. MJ and Felicia have always been Spidey's bombshell hotties.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f358/seanstarrunner/spider-man/gwen3-1.jpg

Gwen was presented as an ex-beauty queen, and unless I missed Harry's sarcasm, she was meant to be a very beautiful woman. Peter not noticing her was the first time, she says, that a guy didn't give her a glance.

[JustABill]

You can be a beauty queen and not be a bombshell.

[Cuyan]

Yeah, because that's what's being implied there. :whatever:

[craigdbfan]

They could easily play down Amber Heard from looking that great.

Later on she can go through some transition where Peter sees her. In a similar fashion of Spectacular (tv series)/Ultimate (although one had her as rebellious and the other as a "nerd").

Someone mentioned they like the idea of Gwen's beauty being hidden by some sort of "non attractive" qualities (glasses,attire, and interest).

Once she breaks from this aesthetically we can see hot Gwen but still keeping the qualities that made her Peter Parkers friend.

Also someone said Amber Heard is to "old"? She is 23 its still possible.

[Majik1387]

Sorry, even Zombie make up couldn't make Heard unattractive....


I highly doubt cliche loser/geek clothes/accessories will work.

[craigdbfan]

Well not unattractive but just plain and unnoticeable.

Some of these make up artist can do some good work.

She can still work. Especially if they go by the Ditko/Lee run of SM portrayal of Stacy.

Good explanation as to why she can be played by an attractive/talented actress.

[S_H_F_4839]

anyone else getting a flavor of the month vibe off the logan lerman guy, I mean hes popular right now but he seems a little old for what they should be shooting for here.

[craigdbfan]

He's 18.

People on here are already complaining thats too young for Peter.

You go younger than that then Sony has to adhere to child labor laws which they don't particularly like. Especially for the leading character.

[S_H_F_4839]

I finally watched gamer, and he was alright as simon but he didnt do much in the movie and havent really seen him in anything else, so I dont know. I know I was pulling for the kid that played peter pan in that movie with jason issacs a couple years ago sumpter, but now I dont know he may not be right for it now that I have seen a recent pic.

[Goran]

This would be my dream cast for the reboot :)

http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e288/kokigoran/RebootPoster.jpg

[S_H_F_4839]

i still think he is flavor of the month, I would rather the kid from sky high be peter.

[hugekent]

I love Emma Stone as much as the next guy, but Mary Jane is supposed to be supermodel hot right? Emma Stone is not that.

[The Bat-Man]

I don't think Logan Lerman is necessarily the flavor of the month in that everyone will forget all about him in a few weeks and latch onto someone else. I think it's just that, right now, he is the best choice. He's got the look and he's the perfect age to begin a franchise like Spider-Man. I know I wouldn't mind if he got the role. Of course, I have my favorites that I would like to see get it over him, but I think if he snagged it he would nail it.

[Gunga Diner]

Well additionally he should look extremely un-heroic. He should look like the least spectacular or amazing person in the school, the kid you wouldn't take a second glance at.

[terry78]

You people keep forgetting that filming won't start for a while. Dude's look may change dramatically from now until then.

Evan Rachel Wood may be 22. But she looks 29. She's one of those whose beauty makes her look older. She can't possibly play a teenager Mary Jane. Besides she works better for Broadway. :o

[Robin91939]

Big fan of Logan Lerman for Peter. I wasn't originally but he seems pretty likable after watching some of his stuff and he has the look.

I really don't like the Sky High kid or the Dekker guy.

Anton Yelchin would be a solid Harry Osbron.

I am however not a fan of many of the Mary Jane or Gwen Stacey choices, I would go with an unknown there. She has to be able to act, have attitude and be hot.

good luck findin an unknown with all that talent.

Emma Stone

http://moviesmedia.ign.com/movies/image/article/871/871467/the-house-bunny-20080502042317143_640w.jpg Redhead second from the right

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkCtTx_eG4&feature=related shows she can in fact model

Great personality, around the right age, can act, and looks like MJ.

[cin0]

only two problems she's not hot and looks nothing like mj. if she didnt have red hair i doubt anybody would look at her and say "hey she would make a great mary jane". please no emma stone.

[jasontodd]

I do not understand how someone could look at that picture and watch that video and say she's not hot and looks nothing like MJ. She looks alot like how Mary Jane has been depicted through out the years especially her eyes and a beautiful smile. Also she has a very outgoing force of personality that would not be overshadowed by Peter in the film which is a trait that was heavily emphasized in Mary Jane especially in her initail appearances. Also Emma is hot enough to model for Maxim and to be ranked in their hot 100.

[cin0]

i dont see any resemblance between the two. and she's far from bein hot enough to be ranked in the top 100. it gets way, way hotter than emma stone. y would anyone choose her over several others that look way better than her. i honestly do not see anything hot about her froggish eyes and on top of that i dont see how she looks like mj

[jasontodd]

Well she is ranked in the top 100. It's not something I am making up.

[ROFLCARTER]

Spider-Man/Peter Parker: Anton Yelchin http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0947338/
I think that while Anton is a great choice for Harry, as some have suggested. He is too big a star to take a back seat in a Spider-Man film. He's a great actor and I think could pull off Peter's persona perfectly.

Mary Jane Watson: Isabel Lucas http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1456970/
An absolute stunner whose just getting her claws into Hollywood. Dye the hair red and there you have it.

Gwen Stacey: Dianna Agron http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1872698/
I just feel that she's perfect for this part looks-wise. Character can be worked on.

Harry Osborn: David Henrie http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1273708/
Couldn't really think of anyone else to be perfectly honest. Harry will more than likely be a no name actor anyway.

Norman Osboen/Green Goblin: Ralph Fiennes http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000146/
Looks, personality. You name it.. He'd make a great Norman. Very menacing, let can hold down the goodish role for the first film.

Dr. Curt Conners/The Lizard: Giovanni Ribisi http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000610/
Great actor, right amount of fame to fit right in as a Comic Book Villain.

Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus: Christoph Waltz http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0910607/
Now, I know Otto is more of a rounder man.. But I just really like Waltz for this role. With the coat, glasses and coat I really think he'd look the part.

Uncle Ben: Sam Neill http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000554/
Amazing actor.. know he's a bit younger than most people are going for. But the actor for Ben isn't too important anyway.

Aunt May: Glenn Close http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000335/
I had another blank here.. Just tried to get the general age right between May and Ben. Since she's a good actress I just went with her.

Eddie Brock/Venom: Sam Worthington http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941777/
Do I really need to explain? With Sam taking all these leading hero roles, he'll need to take a refreshing role in a few years. This is it.

J. Jonah Jameson: Stephen Lang http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002332/
No one can touch JK Simmons, cut Lang would come very close.

[craigdbfan]

That's so cliché it makes me sick.

Sure the example is.

Although they don't even need to take that route seeing as the 616 Gwen is introduced as being hot.

She can be hot and still be friends with Peter. That'd actually be interesting.

Unless thats too "cliche" as well.

[Crook]

I could see this viewpoint with a lot of her pics and videos, but this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdkCtTx_eG4&feature=related) photoshoot...I don't see it. Her worst flaws (dorky smile and big forehead) are not seen there, and when she's just straight-on putting the "model face", I honestly can't fathom how any one fails to see at least some sort of resemblance to MJ.

I think Sam Neil would make a much better Doc Ock. He was actually almost cast as Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2. And come on, he looks just like Doc Ock. And your Eddie Brock is a perfect cast. I never thought of that. And I still think Jamie Lee Curtis would be a PERFECT Aunt May. Even more so for the Ultimate universe.

And it seems like everyone things Stephen Lang would be the best JJJ now.

Eddie Brock/Venom: [/B]Sam Worthington http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0941777/
Do I really need to explain? With Sam taking all these leading hero roles, he'll need to take a refreshing role in a few years. This is it.

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

[Karelia]

Either Jensen Ackles or Sam Worthington would make a good Eddie Brock IMO. :D

[Majik1387]

Eh, I can't agree with Worthington.

[Young Superman]

Thomas Dekker is still my ideal choice for the role of Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the reboot.

Well she is ranked in the top 100. It's not something I am making up.

doesnt matter if u put them side by side they still dont look alike. there are plenty hotter than she is.

[corby]

good luck findin an unknown with all that talent.
:wall: You do realize that every star was an unknown at some point in their life. Just because someone hasn't been in several films doesn't mean they have less talent

Yeesh. Why don't they just cast Megan Fox and call it a day?! :whatever:

It's not like we can get any of the girls we're considering for MJ anyway.

Emma Stone is quite attractive. I mean, we don't want MJ to be distractingly hot. We don't want MJ so amazingly perfect that she looks weird that she settled for a nerd like Peter.

MJ is the girl-next-door type. Very pretty, wholesome, and natural. A girl you'd get a crush on. Not a hardcore porn star with huge knockers, huge lips, and dresses like a floozie.

No she's not, she's the sexpot.

Gwen Stacy is the girl you've described, not MJ.

[OctaviusINC]

No she's not, she's the sexpot.

Gwen Stacy is the girl you've described, not MJ.

Depends. In the Ultimate comics (which I thought this reboot was going to be based after) MJ isn't the most attractive "sexpot" on earth. She's just an attractive girl.

Just by reading what the fans want here, I don't know how MJ would be any different than Megan Fox in the Transformer movies.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I wouldn't mind Glenn Close as Aunt May but I DEFINITELY BELIEVE the role is made for Helen Mirren. No one else. The idea of Jamie Lee Curtis playing her makes me laugh.

[DACMAN]

No she's not, she's the sexpot.

Gwen Stacy is the girl you've described, not MJ.

Most people haven't read the Stan Lee/Gerry Conway stuff. They don't know any better.

[DACMAN]

Why? She looks just like Ultimate Aunt May and she has that ex-hippy vibe going on. What is there to laugh at? The chick you suggested looks too old for Ultimate Aunt May and she most certainly doesn't look like an ex-hippy. More like someone who lives in a million dollar house and drives a half million dollar car.

[OctaviusINC]

Most people haven't read the Stan Lee/Gerry Conway stuff. They don't know any better.

They're supposedly basing this reboot on the Ultimate universe. So that's what's in my head.

[Majik1387]

Isn't Spectacular Spider-Man kind of based on Ultimate as well?

And are they carbon copies? Nope.

[Deaths Head II]

Spectacular felt way more based off of the 616 universe. Particularly the 60s books.

[JustABill]

Spectacular was based off pretty much everything. It pulled from every form of Spidey and it did it brilliantly.

Also MJ is more commonly known as the bombshell in most media forms. That's the TRUE MJ. Gwen is the girl next door. Felicia's the ****ty bombshell.

That's the way Peter's girls should ALWAYS go.

Yep on all counts.

[Mrpaul]

Any good leads yet? Still waiting

[chris moore]

I think I agree on the choice of Thomas Dekker for Peter. The Lerman and Yelchin selections just seem way out. Whoever plays him has to wear a spandex suit, and some of these choice just seem like they really are about 13 in physical appearance. I'm all for restricting the 25yr old with stubble playing a 15 year old. But conversely there has to be a limit in just how weedy/early-pubescent the actor looks. Yelchin for Harry however? Sure - very much looks the part

lerman is fine physique wise, all he would have to do is spend 6 months to add 20 pounds and muscle definition, the suit would do the rest. I've always wanted a SKINNY spider-man, someone who looks more like a ballet dancer than a boxer someone who looks like he couldn't hurt a flea but can pick up a house.

I'm watching Zombieland, I'm officially routing for Emma Stone as MJ. Shes is ****ing HOT!

She should still be hotter than emma stone. i never said she should have big breasts and huge lips or any of that. i just said she needs to look good. if emma stone is suposed be playin a character thats the hottest girl in school i would really hate to see wats considered unattractive there.

u do realize that i never said that someone has to be in several films to have all that talent? i doubt there are that many actors we dont already know of that could do all those things.

Welcome to the club. :-)

[GoldGoblin]

Ron Perlman or Bill Moseley for JJJ.

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Ron Perlman or Bill Moseley for JJJ.

Hugh Laurie would be great as well

[NinjaTurtleFan]

I first wanted Stephen Lang for Cable but I totally see him as a J. Jonah Jameson.

I'd love to see J.K. Simmons to reprise his role ala Judi Dench did as M in the new Bond films but if he didn't I'd want Lang as Jonah.

[cin0]

Ron Perlman or Bill Moseley for JJJ.

I dont believe either of them would be right for jj

[I'm Venom]

Jensen Ackles could add 25 pounds of muscle and pull off Eddie Brock perfectly looks-wise.

[The IronMan]

I think J.K. Simmons should be J.J.( he portrayed him perfectly imo )
Glenn Close for aunt May
Donald Sutherland for Uncle Ben
not sure what actors I would go with for Peter, Mary Jane, Gwen and Harry they all need to be able to pull off the high school look for at leastt two movies though

[The IronMan]

I also like the idea of Ackles for Eddie Brock / Venom

[Spider-Fan83]

speaking of JJ, you know, I recently caught an episode of that new show "the deepend", and was thinking what about, Clancy Brown...(with the right look)

[Sebastos]

Saw the trailer for Percy Jackson, just saying that I think Lerman's a very good choice.

[Gamma Goliath]

i agree

[jasontodd]

Ok I am being swayed by seeing more of him in interviews and such that Anton Yelchin would be a pretty damn good Peter Parker.

Yeah, personally I like Yelchin more than Lerman for Parker. I think he's very likable and could pull it off.

[jondoe]

I know i might be in the minority here but IMO, i can see Steven R. McQueen (http://vampirediaries.wikia.com/wiki/Steven_R._McQueen) of Vampire Diaries pull off a more confident, wise-cracking Spidey and also balance w/ the lovable goofball nerdy aspect of Peter Parker.

http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/vampirediaries/images/5/57/JeremyGilbert.jpg

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I love that show. :o

[jondoe]

I love that show. :o

Hey! Same here. It's way better than.. Ugh... Twilight. :cwink: But back on topic, yeah, judging from that show i believe his my choice for the next peter parker/spidey. Saw his potential when his character was discussing history and supernatural stuff for his local history thesis. His got the charm, brains/wits, nerdy confidence down. :woot:

[chris moore]

Jondoe has chosen a good one, and for good reasons. I don't want to see Spykids in spandex on screen. So 15yr old humour is a big no no for me. Peter as a 16 yr old in the 60's - different type of teenage humour to that which we'd have now in a 16yr old

Thanks Chris Moore. The humor should be similar to that of The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series. :woot::up: :spidey:

Vampire Diaries is awesome! I could see it working possibly.

[gadgetfusion]

Anton Yelchin as Peter, Emma Stone as MJ, they're perfect IMO.

[batboy99]

Yelchin just looks like Harry. I don't see him as Peter. I mean, I know Peter is nerdy, but he should be better looking than that.

[cin0]

i agree with the first part. i think kyle gallner and aton yelchin would be a good pair as harry and peter. they remind me of each other a lil bit.

Looks more like an Eddie Brock.

You know what? Now that you mention it, he'd work as Ultimate Venom!

I don't see McQueen as Brock.

[Spider-Fan83]

I know, I mentioned him once already, an I know alot of people aren't really behind the whole using an actual teen, idea… now, I am not saying it should, or has to be a real teen in the role, but, if they do go that route, I am the only one whose could see Josh Hutcherson (http://www.imdb.com/media/rm983797504/nm1242688), has anyone seen his guy lately???

wow, the similarity is uncanny! doesn't mean he looks good. peter looked crazy goofy in the 60's comics he shouldn't look goofy now...

i mean no disrespect, but u cant be serious. may and ben are peters parents siblings they're their aunt and uncle too. these two are way too young. ben and may should be old enough to pass for his grandparents. unless there's some reason y they're so young.

[Mrpaul]

Hmmm. Still thinking about this one

[bruce_kent]

I think that Logan Lerman make a good Peter Parker, and good Spider-Man from the Ultimate Universe

[Sebastos]

He's pretty much been a favorite in this whole thread.

[Doctor Jones]

I have no favorites or choices. I'm just gonna sit back and see who. I prefer if they go with unknowns.

[Deaths Head II]

I think Peter and his highschool gang can be unknowns but I think the villains and certain characters like JJJ shouldn't be.

[Spider-Fan83]

i think he'd be good, but from the movies ive seen him in it seem to me he doesnt wanna do anything other than family comedies
well, obviously as a young actor, those are the type of roles he's been somewhat limited to up to this point in his career, but, I am sure thats not his only interest, in fact this years he is currently working on "Red Dawn" and "Carmel" which are far from family comedies
