Homecoming The Amazing Spider-Man 3 General Discussion - Part 8

Even at 18/19 now, they'd be 20 by the time the reboot starts shooting.

 

[PeterBenParker]

I don't think there's an issue with casting people Lerman's and O'Brien's age for spiderman right now, however, in a couple years when a reboot would start filming that may change. They could wind up looking a lot more mature in just a matter of a few years. I say for the sake of fan casting, it may be a good idea to look for actors that are 18 or 19 now.

The younger the actor (17-19), the better in the long run.

Knowing Hollywood, they like to cast actors in their 20s for high school roles, and to be honest, it kinda works for them. I mean I'm all for casting an actor who's high school age for the role, that'd be awesome.

 

[BatsDC]

Exactly. You can age them naturally so they'd look like they're in school, then graduating, etc. which would mean we could follow Peter grow up with the actor rather than have a 30+ year old playing someone just out of high school / college

Hit the nail right on the head.

 

[LizardMan07]

No point even trying to guess now as today's unknowns are tomorrow's stars.

I mean, the guys who cast first class managed to get basically one of the worlds most popular people on before they were known anywhere.

No point in going with these baby faced Peter Parker lookalikes who can act a bit and have starred in a YA movie. Cast an unknown with real talent and watch them rocket to stardom.

Logan would be an awful choice for mine, he doesn't seem like that great of an actor at all.

I agree.

 

[Stormz96]

The thing I tend to notice is that most actors look younger than their actual age. That's why I think it's ideal to cast someone as peter who will be 20 or so when the movie starts filming.

 

[LizardMan07]

I agree.

You don't want that Logan fella anymore?

 

[degraves93]

I like Lerman as a potential choice, but I'd be even happier to see a talented unknown cast in the role of a lifetime.

 

[The Infernal]

You don't want that Logan fella anymore?

If he doesn't then I can imagine Logan's name being mentioned could drop by around 90%.

 

[BatsDC]

I like Lerman as a potential choice, but I'd be even happier to see a talented unknown cast in the role of a lifetime.

Yeah, that's the other benefit. Give an unknown their chance to shine and prove themselves

 

[harryoscop]

I want a young unknown actor to play Spidey now.

 

[OriginalMiles]

I want...

an actor.

 

[PeterBenParker]

I want...

an actor.

In fact, I want an actor that has...acting ability.

 

[OriginalMiles]

What about a... male actor?

 

[The Infernal]

So not Martella?

I kid, I kid

 

[Dark Raven]

So 2015 is practically over now and still no announcement on the Spidey summit. What's taking so long?

 

[OriginalMiles]

Yes, 2015 is over.

[PeterBenParker]

It went by so fast.

 

[Dark Raven]

Well if you haven't achieved as much as Jack Bauer on the first of January, you can write off the rest of the year as time is already running out.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Eh, fair point.

I don't think the Spidey Summit is happening.

 

[degraves93]

Eh, fair point.

I don't think the Spidey Summit is happening.

Meaning....the deal isn't happening?
