Can Dylan O'Brien even pull it off? Or are people just basing him off his looks?

 

[Elchele]

I'm not into this cast black/asian/etc for any role just because multiculturalism, but I would love Donald Glover as Peter Parker.

Dylan O'Brien

He's got the look and comedic sense. Perfect.

Ben Whishaw.

The guy who plays the Flash would be really good too but he's already unbelievable in his role.

I've seen him in Teen wolf (with him being the comedy relief of the group) and then his lead role in Maze Runner. He can pull it off

 

[FunkyMunkey]

 

[captive]

I think having someone young would bring some fresh air to the MCU, most of the mains are like late twenties to late thirties.

God, that's so old!

I'd prefer an older spidery, I'm over the I'm a whiny teen, angst, I have lots of problems Spiderman.

 

[Elginer]

Dylan O'Brien is the only choice for me that would really work. I loved Garfield as Spidey, which is a damn shame that he's out.

 

[sleverfunk]

Lmao

 

[OdysseusVA]

Nah, he's busy being The Atom:

Is this real?

 

[Liamario]

Taron Egerton

Looks young enough to be in high school. Plus he's 5'10" too so it works really well.

As I was scrolling through this page, he came to mind and the very next post was yours. Great minds think alike. He would be perfect.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Is this real?

Yup. He's The Atom in Arrow.

i don't know what peeps are basing it off of tbh, but anyone who saw Maze Runner should KNOW this kid cannot pull of 'lead' by any stretch.

 

[brandonh83]

+1 for Dylan. He'd nail it.

i don't know what peeps are basing it off of tbh, but anyone who saw Maze Runner should KNOW this kid cannot pull of 'lead' by any stretch.

I saw it and thought he was fine. He's also pretty much the reason why I was able to watch as much Teen Wolf as I did, and he played two totally different characters in each. He can pull off likable nerd with finesse.

 

[DeathyBoy]

Vinnie Jones

 

[Extra Sauce]

Jake gyllenhaal

It makes me very sad that this will never happen.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yup. He's The Atom in Arrow.

I know
I should rephrase, is the suit real?

 

[shaowebb]

Joseph Gordon Levitt is my pick. Got the chops as an actor, has the build proper to play this particular hero as well. I think it'd be a good fit.

 

[-griffy-]

I know

Yup.

'fine' won't cut it. The romantic element of MR was laughable, and I doubt Marvel's gonna throw that to the wayside.

they will be looking for a guy that can do funny + romantic + action, and Logan Lerman fits that bill, but I don't think even he has a shot. LOL

 

[Fury451]

That Atom suit is killer. Does echo Iron Patriot a bit though.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be my runner up to Jake Gyllenhall. Both fantastic actors that would really make a cool take on spidey.

 

[ryseing]

Only one man has the training to become the fliptacular Spider-man.

 

[TheSinkingKnight]

Kiefer Sutherland.

 

[BennyBlanco]

if older spidy I could see Aaron Paul

Yea, he could pull it off.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

David Hayter

Er, Maze Runner didn't really have a romantic angle, it only hinted at it and even that was fleeting. It was hardly anything that it concentrated on, and just because that film wasn't flourishing with romance doesn't mean that Dylan is incapable of it. You're taking apples and oranges and trying to construe an argument out of it. It's like watching a drama and saying that someone wouldn't be fit for a comedy because there were no comedic elements in said drama.

Based on what I've seen him do between Teen Wolf and Maze Runner, I think he would be a really good fit. He's both physically capable and has experience at playing a likable nerd. But please god, anyone but Logan Lerman or Efron.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yup.

:O

They should cancel Arrow after this lackluster season and give Routh his own show.

 

[Angel_DvA]

Yup it's the good one :

 

[kadab]

someone who can act

 

[catotheyounger]

I made this photoshop years ago, I even think I still have the PSD file. Neat to see it reappear from time to time. I also made a Danny Glover variant that isn't too hot. Hard finding a high res picture that I wanted.

 

[iNvid02]

an unknown

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm not into this cast black/asian/etc for any role just because multiculturalism, but I would love Donald Glover as Peter Parker.

There's nothing inherent to Peter Parker that dictates he be a white guy, of course, although if the only reason to cast a black guy as Parker is because he's black, I mean, I don't know that the word for that is "racist," but it seems off.

Was Andrew Garfield actually bad?

 

[Deleted member 102481]

Honestly Grant Gustin, Dylan O brian or Zac Efron are the only logical choices. I'd say the Percy Jackson kid works also

 

[Gordon Shumway]

All fine choices.

 

[dreamcastfan]

They will have a hard time topping Garfield as Spider-Man. IMO.

 

[Nakazato]

Donald glover

 

[Deleted member 102481]

The 50 shades of grey guy

 

[knicks]

Defiantly Logan Lerman.

 

[Prompto]

Has Logan Lerman ever even done comedy before?

 

[Deleted member 102481]

Actually yeaa the dude who plays Roy on Arrow was on Teen Wolf make him Spiderman

Posted in the other thread but this was pretty funny. So he has the comedic timing.

[Randam]

Yup it's the good one :

dude in the comic looks at least 10 years older.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Tilda Swinton

 

[Escape Goat]

cameron dallas

Carlos Valdes

Or better yet Cameron Diaz.

 

[brandonh83]

Tilda Swinton

Terrence Malick.

 

[Rad-]

Dylan O'Brien? He's basically Garfield except less charisma. They will go with someone totally different in style now I bet.

that 'hinted at' or 'fleeting' romantic element in MR was awkward as hell, and not in the intentional 'aw' sort of way! LOL

i'm sorry, but I just don't see Disney/Marvel resting a multi-billion dollar franchise on the back of a guy who doesn't have any kind of resume to back up what's needed. Spider-man is about more than the 'look' unlike Captain America and Thor. He's gonna need to be a better actor than Dylan O'Brien or Grant Gustin are capable.

tbh, I actually can see Disney/Marvel going for Shia Labeouf... they're not gonna go for some TV fandom wank fodder.

 

[Haloid1177]

Gotta go JGL.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

I want somebody who's enough of an unknown that he can appear as the character on TV too. Like, he's one of the gang in the Netflix shows AND in the huge Avengers movies.

 

[Duress]

Exactly, what I was thilnking.
