Peter came to prominence in the general public's eye a little more than a decade ago, while Batman and Superman's alter egos have been a part of popular culture for over 50 years.

Think this makes Peter Parker even less replaceable and more iconic. The original Spiderman films were the equivalent of the Christopher Reeve superman films for many kids of my generation; it was the first big superhero film I'd ever seen and it certainly helped catapult the entire genre to it's current prominence (not to mention shape it).

Grant Gustin would have be so perfect

He really would have, it's a damn shame DC isn't using him in the films. Awesome and immediately likable actor.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Is it official that Garfield is out?

It would be weird if it was rebooted with the same lead... especially after their poor reception.

 

[todahawk]

Richard Madden(Robb Stark)

his cheeks are too big.

 

[Fuzzy]

Kevin Hart will be Spiderman before Donald Glover.

So he'd be the Itsy Bitsy Spider-Man?

 

[Black-Wind]

Dylan O'Brien.

... That is all.

Use to want Glover as Chocolate Peter but I want a young SM and that mofo missed his chance.

Still want Emma Stone costarring as Spider Gwen ... >_>
(THEY CAN MAKE IT WORK!! Just like how Simmons could come back ...)

 

[illmatic22]

Danny Glover.

 

[Anoregon]

Danny Glover.

lol

 

[Mumei]

This is why I wish Garfield was coming back. He had the perfect physique for Spider-Man, He was kinda lanky but was fit at the same time.

Physically, yes... though I don't like his face. I'm sorry.

 

[Neoxon]

Is it official that Garfield is out?

Yup

 

[Blobbers]

Donald Glover is fucking awful. Why are people pushing for him? Like, he's flat out the worst actor on Community. By far. Is there some awesome performance by him I'm missing? By current impression of him is that he's an incredibly baad actor.

 

[sappyday]

Yea, he could pull it off.

I don't want to be watching the movie in the theaters and someone screams "BITCH!" whenever spidey pops out

 

[xxracerxx]

At least there is a pre-made gif for GAF to use if they do cast O'Brien.

 

[Ganzlinger]

Okay... O'Brien for young Parker or Gyllenhaal for adult Parker. My choices are made.

 

[yogloo]

Have anyone said Michael Fassbender yet? If he is not available I will take idris Elba.

 

[Chopper]

Steve Buscemi.

 

[number47]

If Donald gets a audition, I would want one too.

 

[acheron_xl]

I bet Kendrick Lamar could act.

 

[Wafflecakes]

At least there is a pre-made gif for GAF to use if they do cast O'Brien.

I still need to watch that episode.

Anyways, I really do think Dylan would be fantastic, but I am actually feeling black spidey is the direction that they will go in,

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

Yes please.

I mean really, I just want to see more ethnic and gender variety, period. This is just way to obvious a choice to not do it. They could even go for something more original and have two concurrent Spidermans, with Glover playing Miles.

 

[The Real Abed]

Toby McGuire. Don't even reboot it. Just continue it as if Spider-Man 3 never happened. (A movie which I enjoy by the way.)

Alternatively, yes, Donald Glover.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Donald Glover.
Don't care for anyone else

 

[Nathan_Drake]

Zac Efron. I am for real. Funny in neighbors. hella good shape. young enough but not teenage angst. seriously. i dont know why i chose that pic but it made me laugh.

 

[PhantomZone]

Kiefer Sutherland so we can have the Peter Parker Power Hours, also for when they kill off someone that Peter Parker loves we can get the trademark DAMN IT line thrown in.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Donald Glover would quit after the second movie to get back into his rap career.

Actually, that's good. Get Donald Glover.

 

[RebornYeti]

Crispin Glover.

 

[histopher]

Using Miles Morales would be some grade A bullshit. This is a damn miracle that Spidey is in the MCU - it needs to be and will be a white Peter Parker. There will be plenty of time for Miles to appear in phase 6 or whatever as I doubt the MCU will be rebooted.

 

[Can Crusher]

Van Damme. Spiderman needs to be played by somebody who can do splits midair brehs.

 

[Skux]

The world is ready.

 

[The Beard]

Spider-Man should be Asian if anything. Asians get no love in Hollywood.

If you're gonna go Donald Glover you might as well go with Danny Glover. It's just not a good fit. He just doesn't look physically fit. I'd picture him struggling to run around the block, let alone swinging from buildings, and climbing walls.

 

[xxracerxx]

I still need to watch that episode.

Anyways, I really do think Dylan would be fantastic, but I am actually feeling black spidey is the direction that they will go in,

It won't happen in the first few films...

 

[BeforeU]

Kevin Spacey

 

[Gr1mLock]

Margaret Cho. I mean we need variety n stuff right?

 

[maxcriden]

Odie.

Came for this. 10/10

 

[Wafflecakes]

It won't happen in the first few films...

They could treat it as the continuation of the old films. Reboot doesn't necessarily mean ignore.

 

[DECK'ARD]

The Sony leaks said ignore is exactly what they want to do.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Eh. Still.

I don't see it as a lock yet.

 

[Contra11]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

 

[Wafflecakes]

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Love him, and would be there for it, but he will be 35 by the time this releases.

He isn't hiding his age as well as he once did.

 

[hal9001]

The only reason I still remember Logan Lerman was because he was in this scene:

...

fuck

 

[Lucc]

didn't the press release specifically say it is the Peter Parker Spiderman?

That being said, he is the best Spiderman candidate posted in this thread so far.

 

[Conrad Link]

Bring back Tobey, have them edit new shots of Avengers 1 where he was actually there saving lots of people too they just didn't notice.

He was investigating the true killer of uncle Ben (again, it was a 3rd guy now) who turned out to be the old guy who helped Hulk when he fell through the roof of that warehouse.

But as we later find out that guy was a clone of uncle Ben, and stole the bike Hulk used from Ghost Rider's son.

This is all explained by James Franco's butler years too late.

[Lashley]

Eddie Redmayne

 

[The Lone Courier]

Aaron Paul. Oh wait no I want him to be the Flash.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Aaron Paul. Oh wait no I want him to be the Flash.

all i can picture is Spider Man yelling YEAHH BITCH when he punches Thanos in the face.

 

[MetalFearSolid]

Need to think about other possibilities

 

[The Power Of Snap]

badass

 

[WooHooAlex]

Zac Efron. I am for real. Funny in neighbors. hella good shape. young enough but not teenage angst. seriously. i dont know why i chose that pic but it made me laugh.

He's my top pick for Eddie Brock.

 

[Barzul]

Richard Madden(Robb Stark)

Can't see him as Spidey,

 

[lamaroo]

If they were actually going for an older Spidey my choice would be Toby Kebbell, but he's going to be wasted in Fantastic Four anyway.
