Cast the Spider-Man Reboot

[Blackman]

Word on the street is that Spiderman is getting a reboot who should play Peter Parker Spidey. Should they go older or younger

[Man of Tomorrow]

I would assume younger, much younger.

Considering he's in highschool here.

[I Am The Bat]

Should we wait for a new subthread to start this discussion?

[Aesop Rocks]

So was Tobey. ;)

[BobJM]

Thanks Blackman. I'll post pictures later, but ...

AARON JOHNSON for SPIDER-MAN

Yes, he's playing Kick-Ass but screw the typecasting argument. There are worst things in the world than always being considered by kids as a superhero.

[Johnny Drama]

Spider-Man/Peter Parker - Michael Angarano

Mary Jane Watson - Mary Elizabeth Winestead

Gwen Stacy - Taylor Momson

Harry Osborn - Emile Hirsch

Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin - Daniel Day Lewis

Vulture - John Malkovitch

Electro - Zachary Quinto

Aunt May - Glen Close

Uncle Ben - James Garner

JJ Jameson - Michael Douglas

Robbie Robertson - Tyler Perry (if he's good enough for Star Trek, he's good enough for Spidey)

[Aesop Rocks]

I actually could and WOULD want to see him as Peter Parker! Gah!! That's just damn good!

[Johnny Drama]

Ah! I was beaten to the chase!

[Blackman]

I'm putting up a poll so suggest alot of suggestions.

Should the poll people be just people who can play high school age?

[I Am The Bat]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v134/BigChillin/Aaron_Johnson_127987.jpg

[BobJM]

Aaron Johnson is 19, but still could play a high schooler for another two films or so (I would think they'd eventually want him to graduate to evolve the character).

[Aesop Rocks]

**** recasting J.J! Keep him as J.K. Simmons!

[BobJM]

Yeah I was just thinking about who'd replace him

[I Am The Bat]

**** recasting J.J! Keep him as J.K. Simmons!

You HAVE to KEEP him... That was PERFECT Casting

[Man of Tomorrow]

Thanks Blackman. I'll post pictures later, but ...

AARON JOHNSON for SPIDER-MAN

Yes, he's playing Kick-Ass but screw the typecasting argument. There are worst things in the world than always being considered by kids as a superhero.

Oh a sidenote, you know what's really strange about that kid..

He's still a teenager but engaged or married to a 42 year old (Sam Taylor Wood) and he's expecting his first child with her already... :doh:

That's just nasty.

I could see this kid working... I didn't know he had straight hair (KICKASS has him with curly)... potentially...

[Backdrifter]

I'm not sure how you could replace JJ, JK Simmons pretty much owned the part. Maybe Hugh Laurie?

[VenomVsSpidey]

Worst. Idea. EVER.

[Pythagoras]

I hope they stick with him in high school then go the college route.

[Aesop Rocks]

I'm not sure how you could replace JJ, JK Simmons pretty much owned the part. Maybe Hugh Laurie?

No. Nothing can replace J.K. Simmons.

[Johnny Drama]

That's a lie. JK Simmons was great. but he wasn't Ed Asner.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Peter Parker

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Mary Jane Watson

Maggie Smith for Aunt May

directed by Alfonso Cuaron

Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Peter Parker

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Mary Jane Watson

hmmm I think Joseph Gordon-Levitt is too old... He is like 30 something...

[Man of Tomorrow]

more suggestions for teenage spidey?

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0503567/

Logan Lerman could have been a great teenage Peter Parker for the 2012 release, check out this trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CIF_kH2mWI


BUT his commitment to the "Percy Jackson" franchaise will likely make that an impossibility.

[Blackman]

hes already on the poll I'm making

[Johnny Drama]

I had thought about Logan Lerman. I would rather see him as Dick Grayson though.

[Blackman]

Id rather see him as Tim Drake

[Man of Tomorrow]

I had thought about Logan Lerman. I would rather see him as Dick Grayson though.

We aren't getting a Dick Grayson or Tim Drake....

And by the time we ever do, he'll obviously be way too old.


We aren't even getting a Batman III till 2013 earliest, think about that. He'll already be into his 20s by then.

[Johnny Drama]

Well he will be too old to play Tim Drake at that point in the Batman franchise

Not to threadjack

[Johnny Drama]

We aren't getting a Dick Grayson or Tim Drake.....

You dont know that. an hour ago you thought John Malkovitch was going to star in Spider-Man 4.

[Rodrigo90]

Michael Stahl David as Peter Parker.

[Man of Tomorrow]

You dont know that. an hour ago you thought John Malkovitch was going to star in Spider-Man 4.

No I didn't. I knew Spider-man 4 was never materializing.


There was too much internal conflict between Raimi and Sony, it was painfully obvious.

Filmnerdjamie and I were discussing this in the Superman forums months ago; the unlikelihood of SM4.



And it's beyond unlikely that Nolan will suddenly switch gears and bring Robin into the Batman films when he's gone on record several times saying he's against it; and so did Bale. And the studio isn't in a position to force it on him; they're bending over backwards for Nolan right now.


So Robin is a virtual impossiblity.

There's zero movement on that Teen Titans spec script project too, nothing from Akiva Goldsmith, the project is dead with DC Ent's new strategy.

[Blackman]

why are you talking about Teen Titans

[Man of Tomorrow]

Discussion of the incredible unlikelihood of Robin appearing in the DC films during a point where Lerman would be in the right age range to play him.

[Van Petrol]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Peter Parker

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Mary Jane Watson

Maggie Smith for Aunt May

directed by Alfonso Cuaron

I'd love to see that. But like others have already said, think JGL is a bit too old for the approach they now want to take.

[Rodrigo90]

Michael Stahl David looks and sounds exactly like Peter Parker should. He was in Cloverfield.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Except he's way too old to play a highschool kid..

[Majik1387]

:dry:

Thank god none of you are casting directors or pursuing it. Only one decent casting in the entire thread, yet gets too pipe dream halfway through.

[Rodrigo90]

Except he's way too old to play a highschool kid..

He looks young for his age IMO.

[Raiden]

I hope that the new Parker will have more of the wisecracking Parker from the comics, because this is one area that Raimi didn't do the character justice. Not too sure who should be this new young Parker yet, though, because the person I want (Zachary Levi) is way too old for this role, unfortunately.

[Jostru]

I was watching American Pie: Naked Mile yesterday and Ross Thomas somehow reminded me of Eddie Brock from The Spectacular Spider-man.

[Colossal Spoons]

Spider-Man/Peter Parker - Michael Angarano

Mary Jane Watson - Mary Elizabeth Winestead

Gwen Stacy - Taylor Momson

Harry Osborn - Emile Hirsch

Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin - Daniel Day Lewis

Vulture - John Malkovitch

Electro - Zachary Quinto

Aunt May - Glen Close

Uncle Ben - James Garner

JJ Jameson - Michael Douglas

Robbie Robertson - Tyler Perry (if he's good enough for Star Trek, he's good enough for Spidey)

Ok dude, you win

Really? I thought Cam Gigandet would be a better choice than Topher Grace for Venom. Oh, well.

[terry78]

Helen Mirren as Aunt May. If we're going back to high school and pulling the Ultimate version.

[OptimusPrime114]

Zac Efron for Peter/Spidey :hehe:

Just because Disney owns Marvel, doesn't mean its actors can play any role they want!

[Sawyer]

Unless they are the villain and we get to see the crap beaten out of them

No. Spidey has a great rogue's gallery and it would be a slap in the face to them if any Twilight castmember chose to play dress-up in what could possibly end up being a great movie.

[The Spawn]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt (http://www.google.com/url?q=http://uk.imdb.com/name/nm0330687/&ei=jLtLS6tqz7O2B7j3yOQN&sa=X&oi=spellmeleon_result&resnum=1&ct=result&ved=0CAcQhgIwAA&usg=AFQjCNHwzRWXKP-CYNgBpRktqMu-ju_wQA) as Parker and Zooey as MJ.

[BobJM]

Whether or not the Zac Efron is serious (and I don't want him for Peter Parker because he's too much of a hearthrob for girls in real life that him as a geek wouldn't be believable), I think he's a good actor. He hasn't been given much to shine in other than Me & Orson Welles and I'm confident that his new film will really be a hit for him.

[Majik1387]

I'm curious as to who, if anyone at this point, you want to see in the film?
Johnny Drama's cast is pretty much close to what I would want.

Spider-Man/Peter Parker - Michael Angarano
Mary Jane Watson - Mary Elizabeth Winestead
Gwen Stacy - Taylor Momson or Amber Heard
Harry Osborn - Emile Hirsch
Vulture - John Malkovitch
Uncle Ben - James Garner

Here's where the list gets a too pipe-dreamy though

Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin - Daniel Day Lewis
Electro - Zachary Quinto
Aunt May - Glen Close

I like all above actors, but i don't see them wanting to do a Spiderman movie; Especially DDL

And I just don't like these.
JJ Jameson - Michael Douglas
Robbie Robertson - Tyler Perry

[craigdbfan]

Robert Pattinson as Peter Parker.

Now let me go jump off a cliff. ;)

[Man of Tomorrow]

Here's a list of all American teen actors under 18:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_child_actors_from_the_United_State s


I think Logan Lerman is the only one listed there that can pull off young teenaged Peter Parker in highschool for a 2012 release.

[craigdbfan]

^Agreed.

I like the idea of Lerman as Parker.

[jacobed]

I said this for the first one and I know they won't do it for this one but Topher Grace would be perfect for Spider-Man.

[Crook]

I just saw The Lovely Bones and I thought Saoirse Ronan was great in it. I could see her as either MJ or Gwen.

F**k no. I do NOT want another Dunst scenario.

Helen Mirren as Aunt May. If we're going back to high school and pulling the Ultimate version.
F**k yes. I'm honestly tired of these old actors who can barely get a line out and not suffer from arthritis. It's a huge plus that she's still hot. :o

Guy Pearce as Norman Osborn

There are about 3 people in the Scott Pilgrim movie I could see having major roles in this, but I have to backtrack and get their names. None of them are Cera, so relax.

A lot of you guys need to remember that Peter is going to be in high school in this movie. Seeing these suggestions of actors who are like 25 or older is stupid, keep the age cap at like 22 at max.

Raimi was the one that reinvented MJ. He basically made a Gwen and renamed her. The raspy-voiced, outgoing, and edgy cutie is exactly what MJ has and should have been on film.

[Man of Tomorrow]

Definitely Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Mary Jane.





Alright let's end the MeW madness now.


Mary Elizabeth Winstead is hot indeed, but she's turning 26 this year and will be close to 30 by the films release.. :dry:


Think about that..


Her days of playing highschool kids are coming to a close, especially for a 2012 film.

She won't be in the running for this.

You should edit your first post with pics of all the actors listed on the poll.

Right now i'm stuck between Aaron Douglas and Michael Angarano

Both have experience in superhero films. Both are young enough to play Peter Parker during his years in Midtown High. But since Michael Angarano was Disney, I want some that can, dare I say it, Kick Ass!

Aaron Johnson!

Actually, the old comics is exactly what I was referring to. The 60s MJ is the one who all the guys were oogling at, the one who encouraged Peter to "go out", and she even rode a motorcycle IIRC. She was very much the staple for "rebellious sex pot" in that era.

[Sawyer]

I'm thinking either Brittany Snow or Sara Paxton for Gwen...

[Blackman]

Depends how they do Gwen but Sara Paxton wouldnt be bad

The only fear I have regarding Paxton would be her turning into Dunst 2.0

She did a funny job of spoofing Dunst in Superhero movie.

To throw a little something out of left field, how about Atticus Shaffer? Obviously, if they were going to shoot today, that wouldn't work, but he'll probably be in high school when the movie comes out. Wouldn't that be refreshing? An actual teenager portraying a teenager?

[I_am_iron_man]

Michael Angarano = Peter Parker/Spider-Man

Mary Elizabeth Winstead = Mary Jane Watson

Saoirse Ronan = Gwen Stacy

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I am completely 100% on board for Winstead as MJ. :up:

[JustABill]

If Bret Harrison was younger, then yes, he'd be a good Peter, but he's too old to play a HS student.

[Rodrigo90]

Freddie Highmore...

Hell yeah!

Now there's a classic Spidey movie!

Great job. :up:

[Man of Tomorrow]

Actually,Jeremy Sumpter is 6'0...Ill move on then.

Im still sticking with Michael Stahl-David. That guy has the right look for Spidey. Same face,even the same Godamn height. I know he'll be 30 in 2012,but he looks really young for his age.


He doesn't look like a kid in highschool.. not even close


http://www.marieclaire.com/cm/marieclaire/images/KZ/michael-stahl-david-wi-md.jpg



Bret Harrison and Mary Elizabeth Winstead are obviously too old for highschool kids by 2012 too.

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Freddie Highmore...

:dry: :down :barf:























:o

[Rodrigo90]

A bit of makeup will change that.

Freddie Highmore was a joke BTW,lol.

[FaT_tONle]

Filming should be in 2011, so I would think the actor they cast can't be much older than 20 right now. High school, multiple films, and they need an actor that is still 15 or 16 right now.

[HUMANIMAL]

james mcavoy
this threat is goin nuts so i find it funny to quote my suggestion till someone notices it ;-)

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

Let's not forget these two! :awesome:

9bgt350HU5s

[MessiahDecoy123]

Parker will likely be in high school for only one movie. As long as the actor can pass for a high school student during filming then it's all good.

If you cast someone who's only 15 you run the risk of casting someone who won't grow into the role well enough.

[Eddie Dean]

John C. McGinley as J. Jonah Jameson

http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/490/johncmcginleyscrubsexpe.jpg

[Spider-Man Luvr28]

I think they should leave J.K. Simmons as Jonah but that's only wishful thinking. :o:(

[Crook]

I loved, loved, LOVED, Simmons, but let's be real here...he was a glorified caricature. Unless we're to believe that the character cannot be taken anywhere else, or that the performance was so amazing that it cannot be matched...then we should all be open to the idea of another JJ.

[FaT_tONle]

John C. McGinley as J. Jonah Jameson



On that note... go with the Scrubs cast and make a sequel.

[Man of Tomorrow]

So far, I'd go with:

Logan Lerman as Peter Parker

http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/9338/loganler.jpg

Emma Stone or Taylor Momsen as MJ Watson; They're both really edgy. (Though I'm leaning more towards Taylor given the age range; dying her hair from Blonde to Red is no big deal).

Why choose? There's your MJ and Gwen. And they both look great opposite of Logan.

As of now, these are my top 3 choices. :up:

A) Logan Lerman is Robin, to me

B) Emma Stone is older than Logan, but Taylor as Gwen is just fine.

C) I thought Fitchner would make a great Mysterio!

Good choices. I'm a big fan of the idea of an actual teenager playing Peter.

Also, I'd like Gwen to be the main "it girl." MJ should be introduced a bit later in the film, if not the series. Why pass up on the opportunity for all of Aunt May's "great personality" talk, and "Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot!"?

[Man of Tomorrow]

B) Emma Stone is older than Logan, but Taylor as Gwen is just fine.


So what if Emma is older than him? By 4 years, which is barely anything when they look the same age range.


The girl he's paried with in Percy Jackson, who he's kissing in the trailer, is 6 years older than him..

[Man of Tomorrow]

Good choices. I'm a big fan of the idea of an actual teenager playing Peter.

The irony is Logan won't be a teenager anymore by 2012. That's why I have a feeling whoever they cast for teenage Peter Parker in this will be around his age range.


Especially if they're doing this Ultimates style with a highschool-aged Spidey.


And I agree that Gwen should be the main love interest. It would be something new compared to the original first film.

[craigdbfan]

Liking the idea of Lerman more and more

A) I can work with him, seeing as he can fight and make quips

B) Trade her for Hayden Panettiere and you've got a deal.

C) Did he play Casey Jones in the 90s Turtle flicks?

[chaseter]

Anton Yelchin...WTF? Some of you people bewilder me to no end.


edit: And now someone wants Hayden P in these movies...dear god.

[Man of Tomorrow]

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

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



She's too smalltime and random to merit realistic studio consideration for a project like this.

[Schlosser85]

Out of the poll's suggestions, I like Anton Yelchin. He has that "bright but nerdy" demeanor (Chekov in Star Trek) and he can be intellectual and sarcastic (Charlie Bartlett).

[OptimusPrime114]

Anton Yelchin...WTF? Some of you people bewilder me to no end.

Ok, then, Taylor Momsen

Come on! Can somebody agree with my picks for once?

[McFly Fan]

For my money I want to see:

Peter Parker - Jesse Eisenberg (He can be the sarcastic wise-ass and can truly play the nerd)

http://i.realone.com/assets/rn/img/0/3/6/5/28455630-28455635-slarge.jpg

Mary Jane Watson - Kristen Bell (Great actress, would actually be believable as a model...would truly be a girl Peter would yearn for....dont worry about the red hair..that's what make up is for)

Save it for the Avengers threads.

[The Last Meatbag]

Okay so Disney Channel people then ?

Hahahaha! No.

An actor who looks like they could be in high school. But yeah, there are some older actors who look they could be in high school. But some of the guys suggested in here look like they're fresh out of college. We need a pipsqueak Peter Parker.

Like Aaron Johnson is alright, but he's already playing Kick-Ass.

[flash13]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Peter Parker

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for Mary Jane Watson

Maggie Smith for Aunt May

Is it confirmed that SM4 will take place while Peter's in high school?

I think the high school stuff is still just a starting point and everything is subject to change. But a reboot is a reboot, and it makes sense to start in high school.

[JustABill]

Yes, please.
No, please. He was terrible at being bad in the Stepfather remake.

[Sebastos]

I've said it many times...Joseph Gordon-Levitt is a great actor, but not for Spider-Man.

[Sky Captain]

Spidey reboot cast? DON'T MIND IF I DO! Not that anybody cares. Oh well, anyway:

Amazing Spider-Man
Directed by Jason Reitman (mostly because I loved Up in the Air)
with score by Michael Giacchino

Reece Daniel Thompson (http://i49.tinypic.com/ige0is.jpg) as Peter Parker
Out of this entire cast list that I spent way too much time on, he's the one I like the most. Quirky and witty, but not too much. Not super handsome. Big fan of him as Spidey. Especially in a suit with black webs and rounded eyes with thick black frames. But I'm getting off-topic.
Dianna Agron as Gwen Stacy
Jake Abel as Harry Osborn
Helen Mirren as Aunt May
Michael McKean as Uncle Ben
John C. McGinley as J. Jonah Jameson
John Cusack as Ben Urich
Courtney Vance as Joe 'Robbie' Robertson
Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Betty Brant (ah HA!)
Gary Oldman as Dr. Curt Connors/(eventually) The Lizard
Mark Strong as Norman Osborn/(eventually) Green Goblin

(other villains that I'd dig in a rebooted franchise, not necessarily all in the same flick)
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Dr. Otto Octavius/Doctor Octopus
Ben Foster as Maxwell Dillon/Electro
Christopher Heyerdahl as Adrian Toomes/The Vulture
Jensen Ackles as Herman Schultz/Shocker
Kevin Durand as The Rhino

And after the credits...
Samuel L. Jackson as NICK FURAYYYY

[TheScarecrow]

I really want some older people. I don't want a film about teenagers. If some of it needs to take place in high school, that's fine. I just don't want it to be Twilight. Anyway, I think it will be younger people, so...

Anyway...
Peter Parker / Spider-man: Logan Lerman (FANTASTIC in 3:10 to Yuma).
Mary Jane Watson: Bonnie Wright (displays nothing but increasing beauty and talent).
Gwen Stacey: Rachel Hurd Wood.

Need more time for the rest.

I agree, everyone has a hardon for him, he's not Peter Parker. I would hate it if they cast him.

He was born to play Peter Parker and Spider-man.

And he was born too early :oldrazz:

Four or five years ago, I think he definitely could've passed for a teen, but not anymore.

[MessiahDecoy123]

Tobey was 27 when he played a teenage Peter Parker.

If he can pass for a teenager so can JGL.

[Spec Spider-Man]

That Aaron kid is the only one that gave me a Peter Parker Vibe, so I voted him.

[Sawyer]

If he can pass for a teenager

He didnt.
so can JGL.

He wont.

I really want some older people. I don't want a film about teenagers. If some of it needs to take place in high school, that's fine. I just don't want it to be Twilight. Anyway, I think it will be younger people, so....


Those kids being named look way too young for a movie like this....Most movies cast mid to late 20 year olds as high schoolers anyway lol.....

Weren't Toby and Dunst and Franco nearing their late 20's when Spider-Man came out? They looked fine as HS kids ready to transition to college and adult life. I would much rather watch that then a realistic look of some kid who's nads just dropped that would have a Twilight feel to it.

I never try and make my own cast and im not that big of a Spidey guy, but i guess i have to contribute so...here goes my pipe dream....

Peter Parker/SM: Joseph Gordon Levit
MJ: Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Gwen Stacy: Laura Vandervoort
Harry Osborn: Ben Foster
Norman Osborn: Jackie Earle Haley
Ben Parker: Brian Cox
Aunt May: Anjelica Huston
Lizard: Stephen Lang
Doc Ok: Val Kilmer
Venom: Tom Hardy
Sandman: Michael Biehn

Anyway, yes they are older, but they look very young clean shaven and you can make them look even younger with subtle cgi, which i don't even think is necessary bc JGL and Ben Foster look like they're 25 at most anyway lol...

[TheScarecrow]

Those kids being named look way too young for a movie like this....Most movies cast mid to late 20 year olds as high schoolers anyway lol.....

This is what happens when you're making movies about kids. By the time the film comes out, they'll be in their early twenties. From the sounds of it, Sony want the series to be Peter Parker in high school, so such a young cast is needed.

[I'm Venom]

I was watching American Pie: Naked Mile yesterday and Ross Thomas somehow reminded me of Eddie Brock from The Spectacular Spider-man.

Okay, you win.

http://www.nosolocine.es/images/personajes/33370.jpg

That, my friends, is our new Eddie Brock.

[Stripesy Strip]

David Caruso as Norman Osborn. :woot:

He'll make Harry cry.

[Schlosser85]

I like the suggestion of Maggie Smith as Aunt May.

[louiebling$]

No, please. He was terrible at being bad in the Stepfather remake.
I thought he was great in it

Spider-Man/Peter Parker - Zac Efron

Mary Jane Watson - Mary Elizabeth Winestead

Gwen Stacy - Hilary Duff/Laura Vandervoort

Harry Osborn - Justin Chatwin

Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin - Guy Pearce

Dr. Curtis Conners - Aaron Eckhart

Aunt May - Helen Mirren

Hands off, John C. McGinley is Perry White.

[Boom]

Logan Lerman definitely fits the physical bill for a teenaged Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

But what of his acting abilities? I've seen him in The Patriot, The Butterfly Effect, and 3:10 to Yuma, and he doesn't really stand out in any of those films.

Gamer was garbage, and Percy Jackson looks like it's going to be garbage.

[VenomVsSpidey]

are you guys REALLY that thick-headed?

Zac Efron as Parker? :dry:

[Mace Dolex]

David Henrie (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1273708/) or Drake Bell (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0068166/), yeah their from the Disney/Nickelodeon shows but those are the only two kids I know of.

And remember it's better to go with an unknown, Shia Lebeaof wasn't huge when he did Transformers.

[hugekent]

Of the young up-and-comers I'd be happy with Logan Lermann. But as with a lot of others, I think Joseph Gordon Levitt would be awesome.

The first time around was the same with mid to late 20 year olds playing the part. Heck, even all the comics and cartoons, they never look like real 16 year olds. I just have a hard time seeing a non teen/early 20's fan base take it seriously with a bunch of pretty kids running around as superheros and villains......

[JustABill]

Except that's every superhero film to date. Pretty people running around as superheros and supervillains. I'm hard to strapped to think of one time a ugly person was a hero or villain in a recent superhero flick.

[Castro]

As far as most males(heroes/villains) go, they are not ugly, but they are not pretty. When i say pretty, i mean very feminine features and just a very b*tch like presence.

[JustABill]

I'd call Hugh Jackman, James Marsden, Brandon Routh, just to name a few...all could be called pretty boys.

[BMM]

I can't think of many male villains who are pretty. They aren't ugly, but the likes of Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Ian McKellen, Bryan Cox, Danny Houston, and Michael Clark Duncan don't exactly spring to mind when I think of pretty people.

[TheScarecrow]

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).
Harry Osborn: William Moseley.
Aunt May: Vanessa Redgrave.
J Jonah Jameson: Richard Jenkins.
Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin: Michael Shannon.
Quentin Beck/Mysterio: Geoffrey Rush.
Adrien Toomes/The Vulture: John Malkovich.
Dr. Otto Octavius/Dr. Octopus: Alan Rickman.
Max Dillon/Electro: Ben Forster.
Mac Gargan/The Scorpion: Stephen Dorff.
Eddie Brock/Venom: Tom Hardy. (LOVE this choice, if that's not too self-indulgent).
Cletus Cassidy/Carnage: Jackie Earle Haley.
Kraven The Hunter: Josh Brolin.

[Castro]

I'd call Hugh Jackman, James Marsden, Brandon Routh, just to name a few...all could be called pretty boys.


Those guys are good looking and handsome, not pretty boys. Esp. Hugh, he's very masculine.

You don't see my argument towards using someone pretty? You really put someone with Zac Efrons looks in the same as Hugh Jackman?

Efron=Pretty
Jackman=Handsome

Pretty=B*tch
Handsome=Manly

I understand Spidey isn't the most manly looking dude, but he can be good looking and still have masculine qualities. None of the people named so far that are really young have that except that kid from Kick-Ass. But i still go with JGL b/c of the level of his acting and he still looks very very young.

I knew someone was going to mention Zac Efron.

What about Topher Grace?
Topher was beyond perfect if he was originally casted for the first film but he is far too old now... plus he was casted as Eddie Brock :barf:

[Backdrifter]

wrong.

He was born to play Peter Parker and Spider-man.

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.

Ah, but just because someone is a pretty boy does not make them a *****. Zac Efron may be very pretty, but he comes across pretty masculine in personality.

I don't want a pretty boy for Spider-Man btw.

[Backdrifter]

I like the kid from Percy Jackon. I'd say he would be my first choice.

I wouldn't be totally opposed to Zac Efron either. He's not a bad actor.

[JustABill]

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.

[JP]

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

[JustABill]

She looks like Gwen SOOO much in certain shots/pictures of her though. Plus she's a rising star and a pretty capable actress.

She's the type of person Sony's going to want to go for if Gwen Stacy is in this film.

[yuginta]

I'd like to see Anton Yelchin as Parker, but, come on, should Sony reboot Spidey?

Why they don't make new story or sumthin' like that?

At least, i wanna see Carnage in movie, and after that, it's up to Sony, whether they reboot it or not :word:

[Rodrigo90]

Christoph Waltz should definitely be Green Goblin. Im convinced after Inglorius Basterds.

[I_am_iron_man]

So i suggest this cast:

Michael Angarano = Peter Parker/Spider-Man

Mary Elizabeth Winstead = Mary Jane Watson

Saoirse Ronan = Gwen Stacy

John C. McGinley = definitely, after J. K. Simmons, the best casting for J. J. Jameson

[CrazyDavey]

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.

[NinjaTurtleFan]

If it were up to me I would keep J.K. Simmons as JJ like the new Bond films did with having Judi Dench reprise her role as M.

Now, as for casting--- I'm on the Mary Elizabeth Winstead as MJ bandwagon like anyone else but I saw the poll on here has Jeremy Sumpter up a strong margin. Sumpter I guess could work but lately his arc on "Friday Night Lights" has shown he can play a real ********ed jock/bully. If it were me, Levitt or Elijah Wood would be my picks to play Spidey, but they're both too old so really the thing I fear is they're going to cast some CW teeny-bopper for the role of MJ, Harry, Peter Parker, etc.

It's going to be VERY TOUGH for me not seeing Toby as Spider-Man or Rosemary Harris as Aunt May. While I'd love to see Peter meeting Gwen first, that story, and then movie 2 or 3 move onto MJ--- Raimi should've had his last dance with this. I don't know who was to blame for the parting of ways---studio or Raimi himself, but I hope we get more as to where Raimi wanted to go and where the studio wanted to go.

[QWoods]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ!!!!!

I guess I won't be seeing the Black Cat on the big screen any time soon..

[Firm]

Peter Parker - Michael Cer
Mary Jane Watson - Miley Cyrus

[spider-neil]

is Josh Keaton too old? his looks like peter and he definately SOUNDS like peter and his spidey voice is brilliant.

[Dark Helmet]

How about Zachary Levi as Peter Parker ? He plays the nerd / loner type good & in Chuck he had one best friend like Peter does & this new Season of Chuck shows he can be sarcastic while in fights

[vasNormandy]

Not sure if this has been suggested yet, and perhaps I'm alone here, but I thought Rosemary Harris was really charming as Aunt May.

I understand she's in her 80s, but assuming her health is good, why not have Rosemary Harris reprise her role?

[vasNormandy]

Mary Elizabeth Winstead for MJ!!!!!

Yeah, I share your disappointment QWoods. :csad:
