Glad they went with him if this is true.

Now Dave Franco as Harry and we're good.

Doubt this would happen but it would be hilariously awesome if it did.

 

[entremet]

So how long till they replace this guy? Two? Three films?
Spiderman actors seem like they have the shortest shelf life.

Actually Batman is worse, but Spidey has had three just this decade so it seems like a lot.

 

[Fuu]

I need this to be true sooooooo bad, I'll never get over it now if it isn't him.

 

[con-ca-te-nate]

Good choice...

 

[Delta Assault]

Terrible casting choice for Miles Morales...

 

[Penguin]

Well he has the look and that dry-wit on Teen Wolf

Hopefully keep his hair short, his long-hair look is awful

 

[Rad-]

Litterally looks like a slightly younger version of the current dude

He is pretty much like him acting style wise too. Which makes this choice a bit strange to me. I thought they would go for someone totally different.

 

[infiniteloop]

Just googled him, never heard of the kid before.
Mazerunner?

Thank you for being the first person in the thread to supply a picture

 

[studyguy]

Terrible casting choice for Miles Morales...

ayyyy

Thank you for being the first person in the thread to supply a picture

Beats posting WHO?

 

[E the Shaggy]

Also, Robert Downey Jr. said he'd be making a big announcement on Thursday, so this could very well be it.

 

[inky]

Pretty obvious pick.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Michelle Rodriguez will be pleased.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Also, thanks for the credit, man. I owe you a few rounds on Smash U.

No problem, and you are on!

Is he that great of an actor?

Nothing in this guy's history has me terribly excited. Haven't seen all of his stuff though

I have no idea with his skills because I haven't seen any of his works but he actually look like Peter Parker to me. I thought he's perfect for Peter Parker.

Like some of the Marvel actors, it was my first time seeing most of them in the movies since I lost interests to watch most of the films long time ago.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Is he funny?

Hilariously bad? Sure...

He was the single worst thing about Maze Runner.

 

[Mully]

He looks like Andrew Garfield.

 

[A Link to the Past]

So was the 95% figure just blowing smoke up our butts? Or is that still up in the air?

 

[Kouichi]

Such a great choice. Hope it's true!

 

[Takuan]

Aw, thought there was a chance they'd go with Donald.

 

[Neoxon]

So was the 95% figure just blowing smoke up our butts? Or is that still up in the air?

Jeff Sneider kinda back-peddled on the rumor.

Aw, thought there was a chance they'd go with Donald.

He was too old for Peter, & WAY to old for Miles.

 

[LiK]

I dunno who this is. Guess I should watch Mazerunner.

 

[IHaveIce]

Aaaaw yissss that would be amazing

 

[super-heated plasma]

From the Reddit thread:

A curious, less important question than the scheduling one. Did the audition process involve any casual interactions with any other Avengers cast members to determine chemistry and how well they fit?
Like RDJ, hence his upcoming announcement?

[–]redditleaker23456 2 points 14 hours ago
RDJ was definitely involved. In fact, I've been hearing Peter and Tony Stark are going to have a lot of screen time together in upcoming MCU films. They're both geniuses and they're both cocky smart-mouths, not to mention that Peter sides with him in Civil War, so they compliment each other very well as characters. I hope that's exciting to hear.

 

[MHWilliams]

Could've been something they were considering, could've not. Work with the reality you've got.

 

[B.K.]

I don't know who he is and I've never seen anything he's in, so I'll have to wait until Civil War is out to make an opinion of him.

 

[Blader]

Aw, thought there was a chance they'd go with Donald.

Donald Glover is 31, he's too old to play Spider-Man.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Also, Robert Downey Jr. said Marvel would be making a big announcement on Thursday, so this could very well be it.

Fixed.

 

[NotLiquid]

This is easily on track to be the best Spidey if true.

 

[jmdajr]

ok. whatevs.

Just make a good movie please.

 

[Prompto]

I want it to be him but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet.

 

[AlexBasch]

Oh. He might be a nice Peter Parker.

And Google'd his name because I had no idea who he was. Before being a jackaas and post "Who?" because people can't be bothered to fucking search.

I'm so weird, I know.

 

[Pavaloo]

So was the 95% figure just blowing smoke up our butts? Or is that still up in the air?

it might have been up in the air

it might have just to get people talking


I'll still wait on a proper source. I remember this guy "leaking" the Sony/Marvel deal, but he was honestly just saying what everyone on the internet had already been speculating at that point.

 

[Choomp]

Sure, that's a fine choice. I kinda wanted Logan Lerman cause I like where his career has been going and I just kinda wanted to see him as Spidey.

 

[AgentChris]

Please be true.

 

[graffix13]

I hope this is true as it is a great choice.

This is the big announcement on Thursday. I can feel it.

 

[Percy]

That is actually not a bad choice.

He is literally the only cast member of Teen Wolf that isn't insufferably awful.

 

[IntelliHeath]

They really need to recast this JJJ

He's perfect JJJ to me.

 

[Blader]

If true, what a shame for Drew Godard. Gave up Daredevil, his dream project, because of Sinister Six, which is now being shelved anyway for a new Spider-Man.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Whenever I hear this guy's name I think of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry and George pose as O'Brien and Murphy to get a ride in a limo, and one of them also uses Dylan. Great episode.

Seems like a decent pick.

 

[reynal1287]

I hope that's true.

 

[Anth0ny]

I'm okay with this. Liked him in maze runner, and he's a huge fan of the character.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

He looks like he's 12 years old

 

[Solid Samus]

I'm 100% cool with this choice

He is literally the best possible choice.

yep

 

[The Shogun]

He looks like he's 12 years old

He looks like a high schooler. Which he should as Marvel already said thats the age group of the next Spidey they want

 

[DECK'ARD]

He seemed a natural fit, so it's good if they've gone with that.

He's perfect JJJ to me.

I can't imagine anyone else replacing him. If there's an exception to the recasting rule it should be him alone.

 

[entremet]

Yep. I think we're so used to older castings. Peter Parker was boy genius type for a long time in the comics.

I prefer college aged Pete, though.

 

[Htown]

This video that Froli posted in the last rumor thread (with Lerman and O'Brien) sold me (and quite a few other people) on him. I haven't seen Lerman in anything besides the first Percy Jackson film (which I watched after the rumors), so I'm not sure whether I would have liked him as well.

. . .

I'm fine with this casting.

 

[Kinyou]

Now Dave Franco as Harry and we're good.

And James Franco as Norman Osborn. Lets get weird, lets get really weird.
