Check Google news, it's everywhere.

[Bad Superman]

I thought the kid from Percy Jackson's Lightning Thief had been cast as Peter Parker . . . .

 

[chaseter]

Why would they even consider a 24 or 27 year olds??? That is close and over the exact same age Tobey was when he started.........And then make him in High School


Josh Hutcherson...no, just no. Alden Ehrenreich...WTF NO

That list isn't very impressive to me. In fact, that list is depressing.

 

[NinjaCarm]

Sorry didn't know some of this was posted elsewhere.

Still bothers me Logan Lerman is nowhere to be found. Thanks for teasing us for five months with the fan favorite all you jerk insiders with wrong 100% confirmed information. So bogus.

The article was never made but back in 06-13-08 I posted this on Andrew Garfield.

I got the info via email on the article and was told DH or AICN was running it, but when I searched for the article on those sites it never "officially" made it online.

Interesting to see his name pop up now.

 

[Oscorp]

that list ****ing sucks donkeyballs! just sayin'

No he hasnt. I wanted him tho.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Wow, that list is terrible. If Hutchenson gets the part I won't be pleased.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Yeah, this is a very underwhelming list. The ones I have seen are either too old or suck, and the kid from the Potter film was an evil character and I can't really judge. Might be my favoe of the five on here, but this list blows.

Also, a 27 year old up for the role? At least Tobey's Peter wasn't in HS the entire film, and was subsequently in college (thus, didn't look too old). In this one, he prob will be. This ain't Grease, you need to go younger.

I vote for Thomas Sangster.

I think he's a good actor. Can do pretty good accents. He's likeable, and I get that Peter Parker/Spider-Man vibe from him. He's the right height and build also.

Here's a scene from Nowhere Boy with him and Aaron Johnson.

[DACMAN]

That new list makes that Login Lerman kid look like an amazing and perfect choice.

And why is almost everyone on that list a Brit? We don't have any more actors in the US? Seems like every actor now-a-days is either British or Austrailian.


I'm now 100% behind Lerman. He can act, he can do funny, he's a proven actor with action films, and he at least looks like Peter unlike EVERYONE else on that new list.

i don't see anyone on that list as a particularly bad choice, i'd be ok with any of them.

my personal favorite for the role though is lou pucci.

He looks like DJ Qualls' clone. I don't think he is the right build as he looks like a toothpick and he doesn't have any sort of resemblance to Peter Parker aside from brown hair.

I agree with DAC in that all of these people make Lerman look like he is the only one who could be Peter Parker.

Logan Lerman makes this list look just as bad of a choice if Donny Glover was chosen.

Andrew Garfield is Peter Parker

 

[chaseter]

Dude is 26 or 27...he is not teenage Peter Parker.

 

[spider-neil]

the logan lerman ship has sailed, he is playing d'artagnan in the three musketeers

 

[fullmetalRE]

The only good one in that list is Garfield. Everyone else is just wow... I would rather have Efron than most of the guys on that list jesus.

Their jacking this reboot up already. Cant wait to see who they get for MJ.

 

[spider-neil]

that list is absolutely rubbish.

we're half way through 2010 and still no word on the peter parker casting, never mind the rest of the crew. tick tock...

they are going to stall and stall and eventually when its 2011 they will rush production.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Sangster's not the best looking,but he's certainly not ugly. He has that smart,nerdy exterior. He's a great actor and pretty underrated.

His height and build is just right. Ultimate Spider-Man is like a toothpick.

 

[chaseter]

If he put on some muscle...maybe...maybe. That list is still sad.

 

[©KAW]

Don't we have a casting thread for this?

 

[weezerspider]

If any of these kids get casted, I'm going to go ahead and give Nolan's Batman film the Summer and Star Trek 2 second in command....

 

[Rodrigo90]

Logan Lerman beats these 5 candidates as Peter Parker imo.
