Homecoming The Next Spider-Man - Part 8

[NotSoLongAgo]

I like how I was the only one ever suggesting this dude xD

Not that id want him, but hes still an up and comer like the rest

 

[harryoscop]

I still think he'd be fine.

I mean, look at him:

Even when he was playing younger Dean (and still trying to be an adult) on Supernatural, he looked like this:

The same thing could be said about Dylan O'Brien, here's a pic of him from 3 years ago:

Back then I think he could have convincingly pulled off a 15 year old.
I don't think he can anymore though 16/17 is a bit more appropriate.
I still think they might cast an actual 16/15 year old:
14 in Civil War
15 in the first solo film
16 in Infinity War pt 1
16/17 in Infinity War pt2 (depends on how long the time gap is between the two)
17 in the second solo film
18 in the third solo film

I would like to see Peter age accordingly with the actor.

O'Brien's Peter would likely be:

17 in Civil War
18 in first solo film
19 in Infinity War part 1
19/20 in Infinity War part 2
20 in second solo film
21 in third solo film

Though he would actually be much older and it may show, which is why I'm glad we're supposedly getting a young actor.

Kinda made me think.. if this is all in real time and the infinity wars take a year or two, where does all that school time go? Maybe we will get a high school trilogy if Peter ends up flunking because of his hero duties

Do you think he'd be featured in both parts of Infinity War, though?

I'd rather have Dylan in the role regardless
But yeah, I could totally see why Marvel/Sony are casting younger.

 

[PeterBenParker]

We know, Harry.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

Idk, im imagining so.. theres nothing going on in between and if they need all the help they can get I really dont see why not.. it also kinda makes me wonder, if theyre glossing over the origin and having him be established, how can he be so young at the same time?

This is something I've been wondering as well.

 

[harryoscop]

We know, Harry.

And you do to. even tho you won't admit it. because deep down inside, we all want Dylan

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

This is something I've been wondering as well.

Wouldnt that, along with his infinity war absence on earth point to an older spidey than a freshman? Just sayin

 

[harryoscop]

Depends on how young they cast.

 

[John Locke]

We don't know how long he's been established. Could be a year could be six months. When and if he leaves Earth it come be during the summer, spring break, or a gap year.

 

[harryoscop]

What if the Spider-Man in Civil War is NEW.
Like he's only been Spider-Man for like a month?

Who knows. Its hard to pin down how he'll even play into CW but at this point the writing better be brilliant

We're not sure if he'll be properly established or not.

He may very well get bit by the spider in one of the upcoming MCU films as an after-the-credits zinger, so we can flash forward to his solo film and have the remainder of his origin be an opening sequence and nothing more. From there, you could reveal he's only been Spider-Man for about 2-3 months and he's still trying to adjust to it.

Something like that, anyway.

 

[harryoscop]

Teo, Isaac or Chandler for 14 year old Spidey

 

[harryoscop]

Little late, but I guess we can add Teo to list of actors who have expressed interest in the role:

Unlike Freddy and Taron, him and Butterjuice fit into the age range Marvel is going for.
I'd say he's definitely going to audtion.

 

[Frodo]

As far as I'm concerned the character doesn't have to have been Spiderman for 20 years to be established. All established means is that he's already a hero when we meet him. He could be just as established at 15 as at 25. He may have met several of his rouges gallery, or he may have not. In the end, it really doesn't matter when he was bitten by the spider and how many months ago his origin story happened. Sony and Marvel have at this point, is leaving that stuff at the door .

I know the fans keep throwing around the film will be set in "real time" but we have to keep in mind this is a movie universe so "real time" there can be adjusted for the sake of the individual character's story. In other words, the first solo Spiderman film could take place a several months or a couple of years after civil war. We just don't know at this point. For all we know Civil War will take place a few months or years after AAOU. For all we know the character could be a sophomore for a few of the films he's in, as opposed to thinking in terms of each film taking place each year of his highschool and college life.

I suspect that it won't be like Harry Potter in terms of each adventure happening in each year of school, but it will be like Harry Potter in the sense that they'll cast a younger actor who will grow into the part over several films which each film may vary time frame wise. We also have to remember that Sony , while co-ordinating with Marvel, could have their own time frame for when the solo films take place and since they have final creative say, the solo adventures may not be as strict on following note for note what Ragnorock or Dr Strange are doing timeline wise.

The important thing for the sake of Civil War, is that he will already be on the radar enough to have to choose a side. Whether he's in all the papers or whether he's on the government's radar but not known to the general public remains to be seen.

 

[spider-neil]

For me, the issue isn't whether the movies are 'real time' it's a matter of the main actor looking age appropriate for the role. Peter is a high school kid and needs to LOOK like a high school kid. If the plan is to explore Peter's high school years you need to keep him in school for a number of movies. If you are casting an early 20 year old you will be able to keep him in high for 2 movies (TOPS!) if you are cast a mid teen you can keep him in high school for a trilogy of movies and then when that trilogy is over you make can a trilogy of the college years and use the SAME ACTOR.

So the actor in question needs to be 15-17. 18 or 19 is slightly pushing it. 20+ is too old.

People keep bringing up Harry Potter. Am I the only one who thinks that the casting didn't really work out all that well in those movies? Radcliffe looked old to me in Deathly Hollows Part Two. You probably could have told me he was twenty-seven, and I would have believed you. But in actuality he was 20-ish.

I mean, 16-year old Daniel Radcliffe:

Spoiler

Twenty-year old Daniel Radcliffe:

Spoiler

That seems like a big difference to me (but now I'm starting to think that might just be me). I still think he looks older than what he is even today. Doesn't help that he looks a lot like Elijah Wood whose nearly ten years older than him, but that's veering off-topic.

I guess what I'm trying to say is. Just because someone looks young at sixteen doesn't mean that they're going to stay young looking at twenty. "Aging into the part," doesn't always work so well.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I think Everett is a good choice:

And I've actually seen him in Degrassi.

looks very fitting for Peter. can anyone recommend me something really good he has done?

 

[ernesth100]

I could see that.

 

[Urich Leeds]

He was okay on Degrassi, but he really isn't a good fit for Peter Parker.
