Not trying to knock Dylan O'Brien, but I've never seen anything he's been in and never heard of him until people started fancasting him for this role.

Can anyone recommend something he's in?

and Peter Parker is a pretty generic white guy with brown hair, theres a lot of actors who could play him in that sense.

Watch Maze Runner to see his dramatic side. It also debunks "the *****e" accusations once and for all.
Watch [YT]NpWP4m8PgA4[/YT] to see his funny side. This video convinced me he could be a great Spider-Man.

So now you're calling this kid unattractive? That's even worse. Shallow much?

None that you're not happy to willfully ignore.

Yes that's exactly what I'm calling him. Peter being a believably attractive person is actually not unimportant. The GoT-actor suggested is far below average and his popularity among girls wouldn't be believable in the slightest. That would be more a nerd dream than reality. I'm not saying Peter Parker should be a young Johnny Depp in looks, but definitely above average.

Highmore is a pretty good looking guy and can be pull off nerd as well

Not saying O'Brien can't, he just strikes me as a pretty boy. This is just me making assumptions though, not treating it as fact.

o'brien to me looks like peter parker. him being handsome also doesn't hurt tho

Stay classy, internet.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

The majority of the people who want Morales right off the bat probably have never picked up a comic book in their entire lives

Looks matter regardless of what you think. That's reality.

I haven't seen too much of his work, and yes, I agree, he does more drama than anything, but I did see him in Gamer, and he did give off this vibe of the Spider-Man cockiness that we are looking for. I think he can do it, he's already got the experience down in spades, and has quite the following to boot, so why the hell not?

I think that Spider-Man cockiness comes more naturally to Dylan than it does Logan.

 

[JOE]

That's exactly what I'm saying. Not a good ENOUGH actor.

Pfft you're looking into that too much. I'm not annoyed by every 15 year old out there, but I certainly wouldn't want to watch a movie with a 15 year old actor as the main star.

Yes, capable of looking younger but not looking 15. I've said 17 plenty of times. By that time you look mature enough.

"Wouldn't want to watch a movie with a 15 year old as the lead"... So the quality of the actor has nothing to do with your demands, only the age. Good to know your priorities are in check!

So 17 is mature enough and 15 isn't. It's not relative to interpretation or anything right? Every single Spider-Man fan believes 17 is the cutoff for their Spider-Man to be considered "mature". A 15 year old Spider-Man can't be mature for his age. Sorry, it's just really funny what you're demanding for this cast.

 

[Jay Beezy]

i don't know.

It's simple. You have people who are tired of Peter Parker.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

Thank God you're not in charge. We'd end up with some very pretty but superficial cast with minimal talent. That'll put butts in seats.

 

[Chip Chipperson]

judging on his lack of roles shown on Imdb, I'm gonna watch that maze runner movie and see whats up with O'Brien. Seems like he's pretty new to acting.

Only reason I like Highmore over Dylan is because I've seen him in a lot more stuff and think he has what it takes. Will give Dylan a chance though.

The quality of the actor has much to do with it. There's simply no 15-year old out there that's been suggested by fans who has the chops to be Spider-Man. Neither in acting nor in looks.

The difference between a 15 year old and a 17 year old can be bigger than you'd think when it comes to how mature they look. I don't want the main star to look like he's in his puberty like a certain GoT actor. A 15 year old can be mature in behavior but less likely in his looks. It's easier for a 19-20 year old to play a 17 year old teenager than to play a 15 year old one.

Old HS version:
Logan Lerman
Freddie Highmore
Thomas Sangster
Liam Aiken
Frank Dillane
and that Dylan kid from Teen Wolf (lol)

Young HS version:
Troye Sivan
Isaac Hempstead Wright
Lino Facioli
Aramis Knight
Asa Butterfield
Kodi Smith-McPhee
Dakota Fanning
and the (almost) never suggested Nathan Gamble

I think these names should be enough. Sony/Marvel don't need more candidates to consider. No more Nick or Taron, please

 

[Oscorp]

You're the superficial one here who thinks above average looks and acting chops can't match. Those two factors don't exclude each other.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

I've watched all the seasons of Teen Wolf and he's definitely the best thing about it, that's why he's my ideal choice to play Peter.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

It's simple. You have people who are tired of Peter Parker.

but you can't be tired of peter parker in the mcu because that hasn't even happened yet.

i don't wanna start watching that but i just might start glimpsing coz of him. and at the end i'll feel like it was pointless if he doesn't get the role.

 

[Jay Beezy]

Those people like to generalize it and say they're tired of Peter Parker in general.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

Oh yeah I guess it would be kinda pointless to watch the show just 'cause Dylan's potential chance to be Spidey, but I've watched that show from the beggining and he was definitely one of the highlights.

There are a few compilation of his scenes on youtube maybe you should watch those or his interviews

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

The majority of the people who want Morales right off the bat probably have never picked up a comic book in their entire lives

i'm inclined to believe this is true. hasn't he had a tiny comic book history compared to peter parker's comic book legacy?

It's easier for a 19-20 year old to play a 17 year old teenager than to play a 15 year old one.

Not from what you're saying. By your logic you'd give the part to a less qualified 17 or 18 year old over a 15 or 16 year old just because of the two year gap. And how do you know there isn't a 15 year old out there not qualified to put a franchise on his back? Grint was born in 88', Radcliffe was born in 89', Watson was born in 90' and the first movie came out in 01'. Do the math.

If the actor hit puberty between the first two movies that'd be great. Know why? Because that's what happens to 15 or 16 year olds, their voices drop and they grow 2-3 inches overnight. Why are you turning a positive development physically of the character into something negative. It's relatable and most importantly reality. I really can't understand your hate.
