Not sure if serious, the guy is definitely the most popular choice by far.

Huh... you lost me there

From what I see on here there's still a lot of people hoping the rumors aren't true about him being Spider-Man. That's just from what I've read. There's definitely people that want him, but I've seen quite a few who don't like him as Spidey.

Not on here, it's like 9/10 want him.

LOL! There are some who don't want him but they're the minority.

He is still by far the most popular choice for the role.

 

[Oscorp]

I'm indecisive on whether I want Dylan to get the role or not. On one hand he seems to be able to joke naturally. On the other hand I don't know if he has the underdog charm and likeability required.

I wouldn't be disappointed if he gets cast as Peter, however I would also be excited if someone who hasn't been fan cast yet gets the role.

 

[JOE]

Not on here, it's like 9/10 want him.

Judging by the polls on these boards 41% chose O'Brien, 27% wanted Lerman and 31% were other actors so I'm not sure where the 9/10 is coming from? Again, I'm just going by the polls.

Like I posted above, people wanting someone other than O'Brien is actually the majority in the polls.

It has changed a lot since that poll which was months ago, I personally didn't want him till just a couple of weeks ago when I saw clips of him in TW and his interviews.

And I think a lot of people are in the same boat, if that poll was done again I think it would be more in favor of Dylan.

I'm going on the comments i see here and in the casting thread.

Finally saw this in gif form. Wish I saw it when the Spidey deal broke.

25% wants someone else, 41% wants Dylan so the majority wants Dylan.

Charlie Rowe looks the part more than others but his acting talent is still questionable, especially with an american accent which I'm not convinced that he can pull off with a natural tone, at least from the footage I've seen. Logan Lerman is arguably the most talented dramatic actor but even I as a fan have started questioning his comedic skills. And then there's Dylan O'Brien... he might just be the safest bet out of those three. But I'm afriad he'll come of as too smug in the role, and whether you go full dork or full confident jokester with him, Peter Parker most importantly has to be likable. Before anything else

 

[Ghostcrow13]

He's not really smug in Teen Wolf from what i've seen, he seems to play the loveable loser.

Garfield's Peter was pretty smug, and the guy is the Perfect Peter or something like that.

 

[Webhead2006]

For me do you really honestly think marvel would change oeter. There is no dam logical reason to change peter. So I doubt peter be changed. If any characters change it be some villains and certain supporting players.

We will likely grt a white actor. And if he isn't white a mixed race actor who looks white. Take for example dean Cain who was superman. He is french Canadian Irish and part Japanese. And back in the day never knew that. But he still pulled off looking like superman. If we get something like that where it's a mixture if things but overall looks white I be fine. Also look at every rumor named that has been linked to role Logan Dylan that sam kid etc.. all been white. If they where really to go full ethnic change be it just black just latino just Asian we would have seen more specific casting stuff.

As for age thing the problem I get with folks is they ie the scooper never said actor will be 15. Just that the character of spidey/will be 15 and will grow over course of his contract which likely be a 6 picture deal. I just can't really see any 15 to 18 yr old actor doing the role well or working for such a long term deal. Mostly on things we talked about before. That is why I think it will be 20 to 24 yr old picked. Don't have to deal with school and labor laws. More open to long term deal. And makeup and cloths can make to look younger. And by the time there deal ends they be 28 to 30 yrs old and still in prime.

At this point, "popular fancast" equals "safe boring choice" to me. I doubt many internet fans would have gone with RDJ for Iron Man had they been in charge, or Amy Adams for Lois, or etc, etc. And especially with this casting, given how unknown most young teen actors are at this point. I trust/hope that the wide casting searches yield more interesting results than what you see here.

Ugh.. finally got back from- never mind.
Did any news just drop?

I would say Highmore may be a slightly better dramatic actor than Lerman. It's only his quite odd looks that prevents him from getting more roles.

Oh the classic safe boring choice arguement. Yeah that one makes sense.

No one would have thought of RDJ cos he'd mostly dropped off the map, and Amy Adams, well people wouldn't have thought of her because she doesn't look like Lois Lane, but she is a great actress so hardly some kind of 'huge risk amazing find' bit of casting.

 

[JOE]

25% wants someone else, 41% wants Dylan so the majority wants Dylan.

Well no, because 25% wants a different actor besides O'Brien, Lerman and Martella. There's still 26% that want Lerman and 7% Martella, so that counts as people that don't want O'Brien. Technically 41% want O'Brien and 49% don't, who that 49% of people want is irrelevant besides the fact that it isn't O'Brien.

I agree. I don't think Dylan would be boring though, but I do trust Marvel/Sony enough that I think if someone else gets the role, that actor will be a better choice.

Rightii, new poll time

[harryoscop]

You repeatedly post pictures of actors and make posts like for example "#Chandler4Spidey!!" or "Chandler for the win!!", about whoever takes up a minute of your mind. When it's not Chandler it's O'Brien, or that Game of Thrones kid etc.

Others post more rationally, like "Yeah XXX could be a great Peter Parker" or "I'd like to see someone like that guy play Peter Parker" for example and don't behave in such a sensationalist, "OH MY GOD!!" way.

I've read far too many of your posts, that's why I've seen this being repeated over and over again.

It's not about whoever is your first choice for whatever age, it's just that it would be nice if you just toned it down a little. You're posting like you're a loud kid yelling "LOOK AT HIM!!" and push a huge photo at my face.

Meh, I'll just use the ignore function.

Nah, I'll do it for myself.

WTF?

 

[The Joker]

is it true that they're casting a 15 year old for spiderman? if so i really don't want to see that. peter parker to me has always been a convincing 17 year old kid. having an actual 18 year old play a character would make him look 14. it'll be ridiculous seeing that in action
