Well first off Tobey is one inch taller, but according to you that's more like 5'6''. And second I don't think these guys can lie about their height considering they're actors and their height plays a big role in whether or not they get a part. And last, I totally agree with you I wanted a slightly taller Peter. But you have to remember this is based on Ultimate Spider-Man and Peter is suppose to be about 5'5''.
With all that said, Login Lerman is 5'8''. Which sounds good to me.
Did you miss my first post? This guy is 24. There's no chance of growing out of that 16 yr old height for future movies.
