The Amazing Spider-Man Isn't Tobey Too Old?

nat portman is a truly beautiful woman

Get rid of Maguire and Dunst. At this point they're only being kept because they happened to star in 3 films that made a lot of money, not because they're the best for the job.

The franchise is screaming for new talent. That applies for Raimi too.

 

[UnionJack]

I think he is getting too old .. he will be 37 when the next one comes out .. which would be fine if Peter will be as well ... but he will still probably be in this 20's

if they do the films like set 5years or whatever after the last one Pete should be a scientist by now, could work with Doc Conners and HOPEFULLY get the Lizard story done.

 

[Fresh Prince]

Tobey looks young still so age is not the problem. Although a 40 year old Spiderman on screen be awesome.

*High fives*

He doesn't really look old.

He looks like he's in his late 20's. Just look how young Edward Norton looks, and he's 40 already.

40 years old and Raimi will still have people shooting spitballs at him.

 

[omid17]

i think thats why they were thinking about doing the movies back to back

Exactly! I don't know why people still say he looks old.

 

[SuperAl]

i always thought Milo Ventimiglia was better suited for Spiderman. The guy is really into to comic books too, so its kind of a natural fit.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

I wouldn't say he looks old for his age,(he does actually still look young for his age) but, he's definitely looking older then his character is suppose to be in these movies

 

[Panthro]

[Young Superman]

I always thought Bret Harrison was better suited for Peter Parker / Spider-man.

 

[Fresh Prince]

I always thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was.

 

[Nightmare]

I always thought James McAvoy was.

No.

I always thought Joseph Gordon-Levitt was.

No.

I always thought James McAvoy was.

Let me think...no.

Tobey is turning 34 in June. Hasn't he gotten a little too old for the role of a 19-20 year old college student? Now, I'm not saying that they should re-cast him but they should seriously considering fast-forwarding the timeline in part 4. The movie can't take place a year after part 3 without people rolling their eyes. This isn't Smallville.

I don't think he looks too old, I think he doesn't look in shape anymore for a superhero.

it just shows you that he lost weight for a small mvoie for a small paycheck. but with spiderman he gets millions and he doesnt do it.



ha ha ha ha

 

[Nightmare]

Brothers looks great.

To me, he looks the perfect age for the movies, he does indeed still have a young look to him. Personally, I wish they grow the damn character up, I wouldn't mind a few scenes with him with a 5 O' clock shadow and working as Connors' assistance or a substitute Science teacher. Kill the juvenile antics, spitballs, nerdy motifs, tripping over his own shoe lases, etc., and other childish crap Raimi has him doing.

Three movies in, Peter should be an confident young adult, no longer a timid or nerdy teenager. The guy is in his second or third year of college, there are plenty of people in real life college who looks older than Tobey.

 

[DACMAN]

Brothers looks great.

Tobey on the other hand doesn't. He looks almost sickly.

 

[Nightmare]

Well, wasnt he in a coma or something? His wife thought he was dead.

 

[Vis]

Indeed he was. ^

Film looks interesting enough to check out. I like seeing Tobey in these types of roles, he's a really good actor when you give him something to work with.

 

[NewYorkSpider]

Brothers looks great.

I saw the preview of it a month ago. Looks pretty good.
