Casting unknowns or lesser knowns has worked out great so far. Bring it on.

It's weird that anyone would doubt Marvel casting at this point. They really haven't missed the mark at all. Except for maybe ScarJo, but she's gotten better.
 
A british Spider-Man? Judging by his looks, origin story pretty much confirmed.

Were the Garfield Spidey movies bomba? Why are they doing a reboot so soon? We will have gone through 3 reboots in 15 years.
Because Marvel is now the designated driver for the Spider-Man movies (since Sony's too drunk to drive themselves) & they want nothing to do with any of the previous films, Andrew Garfield included.
 
I can't believe they're making Spider-Man British and I can't believe they're doing another origin story.
 
Looking forward to his cameo in Civil War

Speaking of which, do they still have time to include some scenes with him?
Did they already have the script in place for a cameo?
Sorry if it's known, I'm out of the loop lol

I'm sure they had versions of the script with a cameo in mind.

Besides, it's just a cameo, so it would be easy to retrofit it into the movie.

Yes they do. We don't know the extent he's in Civil War but he's definitely in the film.
 
They aren't doing an origin story this time

Hard to believe it will not be an origin story when they cast a kid who looks like he could just be starting high school. Will wait and see. IMO it doesn't matter who stars and directs the Spiderman films, they have all had terrible scripts. Not a fan of the original trilogy or the two ASM films.
 
RIP Butterfield

But I think this will be alright. I trust in Marvel. LOL @ the surprise of him being British when Garfield was British.

Charlie Cox aka Daredevil is British too, btw. So if you have a problem with where the actors are from...
 
Don't know how I feel but at least it's not miles.

Was hoping for a Spider-Man in his early 20's

It's not like they're going to stop making spiderman movies as soon as he's out of high school

Spiderman was a kid in high school for years
 
Read the headline fast the firs time & saw Tom Holland & Spider-Man then thought they got the director of Child's Play to do Spider-Man. I mean a horror rooted director worked last time.


Then I actually read the article & didn't know any of these people associated with this film. So, I'll wait for a lot more before passing any judgement.

Wouldn't make sense given what has occurred in the MCU. You'd have to explain where he's been all this time (Ex: Where was Spidey when the Battle of New York happened). By saying he's just starting out, you avoid those potential plot holes.
