Well i don't know who he is but from the picture and impressions on here i'll stay hopeful he can do a better job.
 
Okay, don't know the guy but we'll see I guess.

I just want to know who's gonna play MJ.

Emma Stone please

How about get the story right and forget MJ until the second movie. We need to see the whole Gwen Stacey sequence in this movie (at the end), it would be great if done right.

For those who don't know what i'm talking about, it's the scene in the old comics where Gwen (Parkers first true love) is killed by the Goblin.
 
Wow so karen is really in the running for MJ? Crazy.

I had no idea this guy was in doctor who, was he the guy who turned into a pig?

I miss Tobey

I really miss Tobey :(
 
I haven't seen this guy act yet, but he is in two films coming out this year I'm going to watch so I'll reserve commenting on that. He does really look like a Peter Parker though. Toby was always missing something in my opinion, some sort of key element as Peter so I don't think I'll miss him at all.

Like a sense of humor or a snarky attitude?
 
They need a goddamn actor that looks like TAS Peter Parker

Some dude in his 30s still in high school

And these have.....'what?' to do with acting, precisely? Both of your criticisms are directed towards writing, not acting.

Yeah I mean the writing, the Peter Parker character in the 3 movies, Raimi really didn't include these in his characterization, unless you can point some out for me.

Sorry for not being specific. As an actor, well, I don't know.

That was the only point I was trying to make. I loved Maguire in the role, but there are certainly valid criticisms against him. But saying that he wasnt funny or snarky enough is unfair, because neither is his fault. It would be more apt to say that the writers didnt understand the character.

That's what I meant, thank you Solo, I never know what I'm meaning to say what I mean.

Not the part about liking McGuire, I don't like him.
 
Apparently his role in the Social Network sold the Sony execs... and I'm hyped for anything David Fincher, so who knows, this guy might be great!
 
What's he a doctor of? That character is a lie!

Anyway, don't really like what this new Peter Parker looks like. But as long as he gets the job done, it's fine.
 
Wow, great Uncle Ben casting there!

Actually starting to get excited for this now!

EDIT: Dr. Curt Connors

Perfect-o casting.[/QUOTE]
That is awesome casting but I'm a little confused. I thought the movie was going to pick up with Peter being Spiderman already, in college. Unless it's flashbacks of Spiderman's origin?
 
Sheen as Uncle Ben is cool news, but for some reason I see him as a little too awesome to portray Uncle Ben. Like "no criminal would be able to shoot him dead" badassery of Sheen. But still a solid choice.

Also, cant find pics anywhere, but one of the movie mags out there (think EW, not sure) had a picture of Emma Stone from "The Help" where she is rocking the blonde do. Gotta say, it suits her well.

He looks like the right age to play him in college.

He'd look more like Peter too, if they gave him a simple fucking haircut.

I thought he was a High School student in this?

right but I thought they were going back to high school?

maybe he's a fifth year senior.

After seeing him in The Social Network methinks he can definitely pull off anything.

Hopefully his acting will be good enough to make me not pay attention to his DBZ'do

but yeah, they're set photos. can't really judge the film just yet, but he still looks awful :lol

Exactly. Ugh. I have faith in Garfield's acting abilities, and Marc Webb is a good enough director, but I still have a bad feeling about this film.

And while I am not a big Emma Stone fan, they at least got her look right for the movie.
