Just saw this information at MCU OT, so credit to Neoxon.

This is Reddit, so bust out your salt bowls, but supposedly Dylan O'Brien has been cast as Spider-Man.

Though to the guy's credit, the supposed leaker is the same guy who leaked the details of the Marvel-Sony Spider-Man deal weeks in advance. It's still Reddit, but it's something to consider.

Also guy just updated his reddit and said that it's official. Basically, it's wait and see game to see if it's official.

Edited:

For people who want picture of actor.

 

[Cheebo]

He is literally the best possible choice.

 

[PerezDeCorcho]

Based on previous threads, GAF should be pleased.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

And now we wait.

 

[BumRush]

He's probably the best choice out there

 

[Solo]

Tobey Maguire or bust.

 

[Neoxon]

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

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

If official, great choice and a pretty expected one at that. I like Lerman, but O'Brien seems to have a better grasp of drama.

 

[Sponge]

Good decision.

 

[Dunlop]

He is easily the best choice, please be true

It is also nice for the recognition as he is far and away the best actor on Teen Wolf. His talents seem wasted there lol

 

[RoadHazard]

Who?

 

[Dalek]

The Spectacular Spider-Man

Who?

 

[Floridian]

 

[The Shogun]

OH MY GAWD

MARVEL YOU BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS YOU DID IT!!!!!!!!!

 

[JDSN]

Oh. Nice, he always seemed like the best part of that wolf show. I hope its confirmed as official so people quit being salty after the Miles rumor.

 

[studyguy]

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

 

[Blader]

Tobey Maguire or bust.

The Amazing Spider-Man...'s Dad

 

[Dicer]

Had to Google who the fuck he was, looks the part I will say...

 

[BrokenEchelon]

Litterally looks like a slightly younger version of the current dude

 

[plainr_]

If true, I'm just glad they found an actor already. I really want Spidey in Civil War.

 

[mrjohill]

yeahhhhhh he was my choice

 

[bananafactory]

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

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

But he's terrible. I saw the goddamn maze runner.

 

[MrToughPants]

Is he funny?

 

[flkraven]

He's the one I was rooting for. Don't know much about any of the actors but the 2 big choices seemed to be percy jackson or maze runner dude. Maze runner dude seemed so much better.

 

[MHWilliams]

Between him and Lerman, he was the better choice. Glad they went with him.

 

[Mumei]

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.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

But he's terrible. I saw the goddamn maze runner.

Apparently they really liked his audition.

 

[E the Shaggy]

I sure hope this is the case. I knew nothing about this kid before he was announced to be in the running but after seeing his performances, he'd be perfect.

 

[The Shogun]

Is he funny?

Perfect comedic timing.

I mean out of every choice in all the industry O Brien is the best choice. He's Parker in real life.

No hyperbole

 

[injurai]

So we are getting Peter Parker?

 

[Tesseract]

he looks exactly like andrew whats_his_cat, ugh

i expected a more inspired decision, like an older spooder-myn

 

[RS4-]

Should've been Emma Stone or Barry Allen

 

[RoadHazard]

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

Aha, it's that guy. Ok, I guess.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Great choice if official. He was always the bright spot of Teen Wolf but the 2nd half of Season 3 really allowed him to showcase his talent.

If true I do wonder if he will continue to appear on Teen Wolf considering he also has the Maze Runner franchise as well.

 

[Ithil]

Only seen him in the Maze Runner. He seemed decent, and he has the right look/age.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Now Dave Franco as Harry and we're good.

 

[Abounder]

The future box office king...one day Mahvel will be yours to rule, like Simba in The Lion King

 

[entremet]

So we are getting Peter Parker?

Was there a doubt?

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

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.

Watch Perks of Being a Wallflower. He's pretty great in that.

 

[studyguy]

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

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Seems like a good choice. He's also young so he has a potential decade or more as Spider-man in the many different movies. Even potentially getting a new spider-man and him moving to a mentor role (like batman beyond) if they wanted to go that route eventually.

 

[plainr_]

Now Dave Franco as Harry and we're good.

And Emma Stone as MJ.

 

[Nesotenso]

eh, I only saw him in Teen Wolf to give that show a shot and it was terrible.

 

[The Shogun]

So how long till they replace this guy? Two? Three films?

3 stand alone films then torch pass to Miles sounds perfect to me

 

[flkraven]

The future box office king...one day Mahvel will be yours to rule, like Simba in The Lion King

Lol, so true but I died at work.

 

[Raistlin]

Is he funny?

Based on Teen Wolf, his comedic timing is seriously fantastic. Like pretty much perfect.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Perfect pick if true. Dude was on the top of my list. If you watch any of the new Teen Wolf show, you would have him up there too.

 

[Plywood]

Thank god they didn't rehire Tobey.

 

[Monocle]

He is literally the best possible choice.

Nailed it.
