Really stupid thing to get mad over imo.
It's not like he's swinging around NY saying "ello govna" or some shit. Maybe young American actors should step their game up?

I wonder if Marvel's deal with Sony allows them to use him in their shows too? Unlikely, but it would be cool if he cameo'd in Daredevil at some point

It is fucking crazy that this is actually a possibility in this day and age.
Maybe in Infinity War, but that seems more likely for Daredevil than Punisher. But given Tom Holland's history with Netflix, maybe he could show up on Daredevil.Hope we get to see these three on the big screen together.

At the very least I expect a name drop in Season 2. It would seem that the precedent set by SHIELD means we don't get any big-screen superheroes on TV, but Daredevil is kind of a notch above SHIELD in every respect, so I wonder if the rules are different. I mean, SHIELD did manage to get some Sam Jackson appearances at least, so Peter Parker isn't completely off the table.
FTFY
Let's remember who's the designated driver right now. Sony can object, sure, but they know they got themselves into this mess to begin with.

Not sure if this was posted, but here's how he got the part:

More at the link. Pretty cool that they actually had him go up against Tony/Cap to see what the chemistry was like

So, he screen tested with Downey Jr and Evans. Based on that, I don't think Spider-Man will be a cameo. He will not be the main protagonist, but he will have a role bigger than a cameo.

As someone from Asia, I grew up thinking that Americans look much older than their age. Then I realised it's just the casting when I started using the internet more and bother with finding out more information on the actors.
Really? Thank God..

He's really young but, at least, doesn't look as bad as Garfield. He only looks like a normal guy

Not sure how to react. 2 nobodies feels strange after what happened with ASM. But i guess they're not worried about BO since it has the Marvel stamp of approval. Don't give a fuck about another Spidey reboot but interested in how he'll play out in the MCU.

Honestly, that's not far from his real height.
It's not that far but a few of my friends are 5'7"-5'8" and I am 5"11". The different in height is noticeable.

No expectations. At this point, I don't really care. If they end up doing something good, I welcome it. If not, well, whatever. Really hard to picture them going lower than ASM2 though.
Sarah Finn was the person who convinced both James Gunn and Chris Pratt to have the latter be Star-Lord in Guardians when neither of the two thought it was a good idea.
I have faith in her casting ability.

He should tweet "Soak it Tom, you 're bigger than Elvis now".
And, from what i've read out of his twitter, seems like kind of a douchebag. Maybe that's just his age.
I was confused as to why Brad Shoemaker followed this random 18 year old actor on Twitter until I find out he plays Dota. So, I mean, the Dota fan in me sort of feels sad but Tom Holland seems like a better pick.
Yeah, and Brad actually played with him in one of his videos IIRC.
Look at it like this: Asa can climb that ladder now! (or what there is in dota, i play the other moba, sorry)
oh, indeed. Plus he's gonna use a perfect NYC accent so people won't even know he's English
still salty for Costner-Hood tho. The fuck was that fucking accent

Yeah I really don't see how someone can not be excited at the thought of throwing a teenager into that mix of Avengers. The potential there is enormous

Any word on the length of his contract? I'm guessing more than 6? CW + 2 Avengers + solo trilogy + cameos?
I also hope he can appear in the netflix shows how ever his power set is a bit too much for the Defenders roster...

He's apparently only shooting for a week on Civil War, so it sounds like his role here will be pretty tiny. But the screentests aren't necessarily for just this movie, he's going to have end up interacting a lot with Downey and Evans further down the road if not in CW, so it's still important to test that out now.
The THR report says he's signed to Civil War and a standalone trilogy. Hard to believe he won't also appear in Infinity War though, which if true, would bring him to the same 6-picture deal that most of the other principals have.

I just hope someone has the sense to somehow make this kid fight The Hulk in Avengers 3.
You sons'a bitches told me The Impossible was on Netflix, I feel lied to.
Some things are best forgotten.
I want Spidey charging on Hulk's back. I think the two can have some great on screen interactions.

This will be my only post in here, because I don't want to be a Debbie Downer.
I have lost all interest in Spiderman, and this casting does nothing for me. I wanted an older Spiderman. I am sick of Origin and teens angst Spiderman.

Yeah, especially with Stark. Never mind the action, some of the character moments are going to be amazing between uber sarcastic, aging gen-xer Stark, and this new young rookie millennial super-hero who's also known for his zingers but of a totally different flavor.
And I really hope his contract DOES include appearances in the various parts of the MCU tv ghetto. It would be so cool to see him interact with the Shield gang, who would undoubtedly find him to be an annoying amateur, but then he's strong enough to take down Skye or any of their enemies. And of course, he belongs right in the middle of the Netflix gang. At least an occasional meeting.
Actually, I just hope they remember to characterize his interaction with the rest of the MCU kind of how he is in the books... everyone kind of thinks he's a pain in the ass. He's kind of close to a few other heroes here and there, but for the most part most of them find him pretty annoying, haha.
I also hope we get MANY years with the same Spider-Man and we get to see him grow up, go to college, meet his new friends, and eventually, a decade down the line maybe, get married, have a daughter and hand off the job to somebody else. You know, Miles down the road I mean.
Given that most of the Avengers are middle-aged already, a younger Spider-Man makes the most sense. Plus you avoid any potential "where was Spidey during the Battle of New York" plot holes if he were older. And I wouldn't worry about the origin story, Kevin Feige already confirmed that they're skipping that part of Spidey's career.

Interesting director pick.
Isn't that a good thing?
