Homecoming The Next Spider-Man

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Dylan looks nothing like Harry...

Dylan or Logan should be Spidey - either one shall do.

Neither did James Franco...

Actors don't have to resemble the comics.

 

[OriginalMiles]

The guys on that list are still great for the role.

(except for... Douglas Booth)

Yeah, but if Logan were to be Peter and Dylan as Harry... well, they'd look like brothers.

 

[harryoscop]

Then why did you suggest Dylan for Harry?

 

[BatsDC]

Asa Butterfield could be a good Harry, looks wise at least.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Then why did you suggest Dylan for Harry?

I.. I didn't?

Asa Butterfield could be a good Harry, looks wise at least.

Not a bad choice.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Then why did you suggest Dylan for Harry?

I like Dylan as an actor... but out of this list Logan would be my first choice.

This would be my selfish way of having both in the one movie.

 

[HarryOsborn]

Fan casting usually about as bad as the CW's casting. Usually more based upon looks, age, and other superficial elements rather than acting ability.

I wouldn't mind Logan as Peter, he's definitely my second choice.

Is Logan a teen?

It can be , but its for fun for the most part. I'm more surprised when people get into flame wars about actors who won't get picked anyway.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Is Logan a teen?

22... perfectly reasonable age and he can certainly pull off a teen.

Dylan O' Brien has the acting ability - he's capable, talented and could hold his own in the MCU. He just happens to have the looks for Peter too.

If Spidey is gonna be in the MCU, he needs a likeable actor who's good at their job but isn't so amazing that it'll be impossible to recast.

A good example is Hemsworth - he's good at acting, he looks the part... but it won't be difficult to find somebody else who looks like Thor. The look is so generic! Big, blonde, macho man. Peter Parker is a skinny, average guy with brown hair. SO MANY OF THESE PEOPLE EXIST.

Instead of looking for an RDJ, a Chris Evans or a Hiddleston - look for a Hemsworth.

 

[Frodo]

ok, here's another one, how about, Gregory Smith?

Wow. The guy is like a fusion between Maguire and Garfield.

 

[OriginalMiles]

He looks like my English teacher.

 

[Rodrigo90]

Still not authentic though and Marvel apparently want that

This man's got a good head on his shoulders.

I'm gonna audition. Finally my looks and natural skinny build will be useful

I disagree with the easy to recast Thor bit, I don't see many people walking around looking like Hemsworth, and especially good actors.

 

[Rodrigo90]

.......If anybody has to play teenaged Peter, let it be a teenager.
Instead of young men...or 30 year olds

 

[BatsDC]

I say cast a teen Peter, complete unknown, and fill out the supporting cast with much more established actors, like Marvel do in a lot of their other movies.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

Still not authentic though and Marvel apparently want that

If Marvel can't dress a 23 year old up as a teenager... there's something wrong.

After all, if Stockard Channing can do it at 32...

 

[Rodrigo90]

It would be nice to break tradition though and I think that's what they want!

Child actors are getting better and more frequent nowadays.

David Mazouz has been killing it on Gotham... maybe in 2 or 3 years, he'll be ready for Marvel.

 

[OriginalMiles]

Avi Arad should play Peter.

 

[SpideyK]

I keep seeing people on the internet bringing up Peter's height over and over again.

Not directing this at anyone here, necessarily, but if height is even remotely in your top 3 requirements for casting Peter, then you've misunderstood Spider-Man completely.
