Homecoming The Next Spider-Man - - - - - - - - - Part 18

[Rodrigo90]

Not sure if people talked about it here, I haven't been active,
So apparently both Charlie Rowe and Matt Litz made strong impressions and are in the runnings for the spidey actor, but Asa and Tom are both still "the frontrunners".
Glad to see Charlie Rowe is getting noticed, and a new person who I haven't seen mentioned too!
What are peoples opinions on this?

My opinion is that you should change your sig

What's wrong with wanting DOB for Spider-Man?

What's wrong with wanting DOB for Spider-Man?

Nothing. It's just going to involve disappointment at the end of the day

 

[Webhead2006]

For me my top pick is tom. Rowe is a close second. If it wasn't those two as much as I don't like Asa for certain reasons I would settle with him. But I really don't want asa or lintz. Those two just have to many concerns on looks heights can they do the role well. Where as tom and rowe I have less issues with.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that order as well. Tom Holland seems to me to be the ideal pick. He seems to combine goofy with serious in exactly the right combination while being filled with youthful exuberance. Charlie Rowe has a lot going for him, I just get annoyed at all the people who seem to be fawning over him because he's a pretty boy (not his fault at all, but I don't think of Peter Parker as the most attractive guy in the room). None of the four you mentioned are ugly, but I think Parker needs to be a bit more dorky looking.

Asa Butterfield's height is probably fine, but seems a bit tall (when he was 5'10, I thought it was perfect, since it's both Spider-Man's listed height and Charlie Cox's height). Tom Holland at 5'8 works well since shortness can also help convey youth (no matter what, I don't want an actor taller than Robert Downey Jr.).

Matthew Lintz feels too young to be predictable. I also refer back to Neville Longbottom when it comes to the unpredictability of young actors. As initially cast, he was visually perfect. By the end, not even close. Lintz could hit a growth spurt and be 6'2 or he could gain a lot of weight and be a heavy-set Peter Parker. I also don't know enough about the intersection of federal and state labor laws when it comes to filming (and labor laws of other countries too, let's not forget). New York, California, Georgia, etc. are all likely places they'd have to be concerned with. And he's four years they have to worry about it, it's not just Civil War they have to be concerned with.

Totally yes pete started as a dweed, geeky guy. But he grew and matured into a decent good looking guy who also has a good average yet buff body. From being that little puny parker into a mature adult even the hottest girls like felicia or mj could fall for.

That is my problem with guys like lintz and lewis and is they are pre teens still. And remember this is spidey already bite and been in action for at least a yr before solo 1 comes out. We are far past puny parker stage. And should already be starting to get that more maturing gaining confidence and starting to be more sure of himself type.

Which is why I still say tom and rowe fit this best. They are still young and can grew more. But work the best for me.

Where as asa is just to tall and too skinny he just doesn't have proper look. And with lewis and lintz we have no clue how much they will change in the next 5 or more yrs. Would they get any taller. Would they go from little punk kid to a Studley looking guy. Would they be skinny or would they become really fat. So my factors we don't know. On top of being minors. Going with 18 and up actor is pretty much going to be this look for next 5 to 10 yrs and not change much.

Heck for an example I just turned 30 this week. And due to my height and when I shave. I am always mistaken to be 20 to 21 yrs old. And I really haven't changed much looks wise since I graduated hs 10 yrs ago. Besides hair styles and stuff like that.

 

[Lobo]

Charlie Rowe is my preferred choice.

 

[ernesth100]

Charlie Rowe looks like SSM Peter.

 

[Frodo]

Rowe isn't a pretty boy at all. If anything he reminds me more of Tobey Macguire and Andrew Garfield, and not like alot of the pretty boy names that were first thrown out there when this whole thing began. Rowe is a good actor, and has the personality and chops to play Peter Parker imo. What may work against him is that he looks 19 or 20 i.e. more adult like, while Tom and Asa still look like they could pass for 15 and 16. If they truly want Peter to look like a kid and not a young man then he may be out.

He's obviously not out if hes in the final 6. If anything itd be down to whoever is their favorite screentest

Great post.

Charlie Rowe looks like SSM Peter.

He does. But, what about his acting? I've been trying to find something else other than middle of the road performances from him but to no avail. If you know something where he does any impressive acting or at least decently genuine, please tell me about it

 

[Frodo]

I never said he was out to begin with. I was pointing out what may work against him. You have to keep in mind that even someone who has a good screentest and is their favorite out of the options can still be rejected if they feel they look too old or just don't fit the image they're going for. Being their favorite and being who they feel is best for a role isn't always mutually exclusive when it comes to casting process.

 

[Webhead2006]

I really don't see rowe looking that old. It's like the same deal with mess with Dylan in my mind he looked he could pull of a teen. The main question is how long do marvel and sony want actor picked to look like a teen. I still see it be by time phase 3 ends pete won't be a teen any more. Since phase 3 is 2016 to 2019. And we will see pete go from 15 to 19. Or 16 to 20. Once we know for sure age he is starting at.

We don't know if MCU will still follow real world time though

 

[Webhead2006]

Ok come on with that. You think after spending nearly ten yrs shaping this world. And also how it's all connected with the films abc show and the netflix ones. They would now go about and say oh this film is released in 2016 for example but no its actually set 2 yrs earlier or two yrs later. That just doesn't work with how everything been set up and is. It would just throw things off. Why would they change there format and set up?

True, but im sure those things have been considered and everything has been weighed out for these to be the final pool of actors. It's just a matter of choosing the best actor for the role. It's what sony did with andrew last time

i don't know.I'm just saying that they might.I doubt they will but it is still a possibility.

This guy gets it. Only I would put Rowe in front of Tom. But you totally hit all the points on the head with a hammer.

I think if we retweet #dylanforspidey enough we can change marvels mind
