Homecoming The Next Spider-Man - Part 8

[Web-Head]

All these "blah" suggestions make me want O'Brien even more.

Yeah, this. If you think about it, they can have Dylan in high school in Civil War, Solo film, infinity wars. 3-4 movies in high school is plenty

Aren't you the guy on reddit, who made the rant about how Dylan's not gonna get the role?

Yeah, but that was just me trying to be a bad guy for a change. I've decided not to do that to the redditors anymore.


@Johny-Oh, I haven't seen this much love for Dylan since before the whole Matteus Ward deal. It's nice.

 

[onyxrose81]

I do like the look of Teo Halm far more than any of the other suggestions save Dylan. He's really young though.

 

[Airwings]

Every actor should have a chance for the role, regardless of what you fanboys like to preach.

Yes, and then the studios can decide who's the best.
If they like Asa the most, he will get the role.

Well of ourse, it's the studios final say. And of course all the actors have just as good chance as Dylan. So if they went with Asa, Teo, Matteus, or Sprayberry I'd be cool with it,

 

[Web-Head]

I think a majority of us would say we trust Marvel but feel that Dylan is the best fit for the role, based on what we've seen.

 

[Airwings]

As long as it's not Kodi McPhee or Liam Aiken, I'm fine.

What's wrong with Aiken?
Have you suddenly decided to start a crusade against him?

Let's all play a game; Rank the Spider-Man candidates from best to worst, I'll start:
1. Charlie Rowe
2. Teo Halm
3. Timothee Chalamet
4. Dylan Everett
5. Isaac Hempstead Wright
6. Chandler Riggs
7. Asa Butterfield
8. Troy Sivan
9. Max Records
10. Liam Aiken

Where is Lerman?
Should I take your list as a hint that he's worse than the worst?

And what about your darling O'Brien?

Yeah, Liam Aiken is the worst choice (since McPhee is out), I mean just Iook him:

Dude always looks like he's stoned.

I don't know what you mean. What kind of pic did you post here? I can't see it.

Max Records looks just a little too.. odd and weird

The Asa/Isaac/Kodi/Sangster/Highmore syndrome?

 

[ernesth100]

O'Brien and Lerman are automatically out because they're the top conteders.

And seriously people what the hell is with all these "He looks weird/ugly/like a *****e comments?"

Oh God, if he'll get the role I will RIOT! For real this time. Not because he's not Dylan but because he suck.

Also, about Dylan, I REALLY want him to get but I just can't see it happening. Please someone cheer me up and tell me how Latino Review and Faraci aren't always right and there's still a chance, someone?!
I just can't believe Marvel will just ignore all the love and support O'Brien is getting from the fans.

 

[spider-neil]

I think for Spider-Man, Marvel/Sony are going to go with an unknown actor.
And more power to them. I had no idea who Andrew Garfield was and I had a great time watching his independent movies to see what he would bring to the role and of course Social Network.

 

[PeterBenParker]

If O'Brien gets it, it'd be Tobey and Andrew all over again where they get rushed out of high school because their age is catching up to 'em.

As I posted earlier, he does not work and neither do choices like Lerman, Highmore, etc.

They need to cast a young actor, bottom line unless they're fine with continuing the annoying pattern that we've had twice already.

Dylan is way younger than they were when they started, which means Dylan could be in HS for 2 movies and we really don't need more than that, there are far more interesting stories to tell when he's in college or maybe even his older yearss, not everthing has to be in Highshool, leave that to the cartoons.

Teo Halm would be good. I haven't seen his films, but everything I've heard about him is good or great stuff. He won an award for Best Actor in Earth to Echo, and seems perfect for the role with age (15-years-old), looks, talent, and comedic ability all on his side. I'm also a supporter of the belief that O'Brien is a little too old for a high-school Peter.

I cant picture him leading a dying (for lack of a better word) franchise back into popularity

 

[ernesth100]

@dony2012, I unfortunately cannot assure you O'Brien will get the role. But you know what else I can't assure? That he won't. I've stood by wanting O'Brien in the role since I first heard he was a possible candidate. And I'm not gonna stop supporting him until Marvel announces an actor that isn't him. But until then I'm gonna stand by what I believe and you should all too.


Even those of you who don't want O'Brien in the role. Stand by your word but stay Civil about it. It's fine to disagree just don't get all "**** you, O'Brien sucks , I'll boycott Marvel if he gets the role". Be more like "I disagree I'd rather have X because *Insert legitimate non-hostile reasoning here*. In the end either side is wrong, we admit it and move on like any respectable fan would.

This just isn't true. If they decide to shoehorn themselves into high school stories for the next 5 years, sure, his age might catch up to him. But if they cast O'Brien they will mostly likely decide on a year of HS and then move on to college stories and beyond - not because they're rushing, but because they planned around the actor's age.

 

[Mysteryman]

If Dylanis cast, it almost guarantees that Miles is coming and that actor will be younger than Dylan.

 

[Johnny-Oh]

There is no real reason to keep Peter in highchool for too long tbh

 

[Val_Zod]

Not necessarily, and here are my reasons

1. If Marvel intended to have Miles Morales later, it wouldn't matter who they got as Peter, younger or older. Marvel doesn't based their stories off their casting, its the other way around.

2. There is nothing that suggest Marvel plans to go the route of Miles Morales. For all we know they could go Spider Girl, Spiderman 2099, continue to go the adult route with Peter. Not saying they will, but they could do any of these just as much as Miles.


3. I mean, yeah he's a popular character right now, but will he be relevant 5 years later? Will there be enough people who will care to want to see a Miles Morales? Marvel is about the fans, but will fans care to see Miles in the MCU after alot of time has past? Who knows.

Peter doesnt even meet Harry, Gwen or MJ til hes in college

It'd be more of the same, whether people want to admit that or not.

Look at Tobey's Peter Parker as the biggest example, he was in high school and graduated in the same movie, shortly after his origin story was done. From there, they had him in college for three films.

Andrew's Peter at least had one whole film in high school before they rushed him to graduate because he wasn't looking like a teenager anymore in the sequel.

Why have the character in high school if you're not going to spend a good amount of time in it?

That's why casting a young actor is the best way to go.

 

[SM71]

I get the want/need to get a younger actor whose longevity as portraying a teen/young adult isn't an issue, but I can't help but feel like it's gona be a little weird watching an actual-high school-age Peter Parker/SM... More of a joking complaint than a serious criticism, but I do kinda feel that way. I mean nobody wants to watch little kids kissing and stuff

My perfect choice would be ~20 and relatively unknown. Just an opinion tho

I definitely agree it'd be nice to see more time in HS.

But there's ways of making actors look younger if need be. I personally believe Maguire could've easily done the first 2 full films in HS and nobody would have taken issue, and if the creative team had decided to have Garfield in HS for the entire planned trilogy I don't think anyone would have batted an eyelash. (They intentionally made Andrew look younger in the first, and intentionally made him look a little older in the 2nd. Haircuts/styles go a long way for that. He could've looked identical if they wanted it)

I just really don't think it's as necessary as people think to have a young actor. And if they wanted to try and tackle "Older Peter" (aka post college/married/etc), sometime in the next decade, you simply couldn't do that with someone 25 or younger. Actors can almost always play younger, but rarely play older convincingly

And seriously people what the hell is with all these "He looks weird/ugly/like a *****e comments?"

Cause the fans don't want them. Lol. I think the whole "its gonna be Dylan or ones these guys mentioned here" stuff ,is kinda what always happens with the casting of big roles like Superman, Batman, Lois Lane,Lex, Joker, Captain America, etc.

In reality, its probably not gonna be anyone mentioned here before anyway, because the fans are working on a variety of assumptions on which actors they will or won't go to, alot of them based on the comics and previous versions as opposed to what the filmmakers are actually looking for in an actor for the part.
