I have no problem with him playing Spiderman... except for that chin mole. Its very distracting. Hope he gets it scalpel'd.

That was probably me, sorry! It's available on Netflix Brazil, I don't know about other regions.
They both played Billy Elliot! When I first read the news I thought this was that dude.

Theyre not doing the original story and spider-man has barely been a teenager on film
It's already gone.
Wasn't Spider-Man 2 Peter grown Peter for the most part? There was no teen angst there.
Getting fired and working shit jobs, having rent to pay, dragging his weight through college, tons of stress physically and emotionally, girl issues, and so on? I'm so glad that those movies ditched HS quick tbh. TASM really should've skipped the origin but Sony for some reason thinks people cannot identity with Spider-Man unless we watch his uncle die again.
I'm confused, do people want a married Spider-Dad who juggles a job, family, and superhero identity? Because I feel like Raimi covered the struggle Spidey, who had to make shit work as a man.
Edit:
I'm gonna try and keep an open mind about them going this young even though I was against it initially. Now it's a wait and see thing for me.

No biggie, I'll just rent through Amazon.

What I want, and what some others have expressed, is a Spider-Man that adds some new and unique dynamics to The Avengers roster. Scott Lang is your struggling father Avenger, what Spidey adds is that younger perspective who can both annoy the adults and surprise them with his more youthful outlook. We've seen that not all of the team is a complete moral saint - having a younger Spidey calling Stark out on his bullshit would be a great thing to see.
been thinking the same since first seeing him
the best thing (as many have already mentioned) is that he was also billy Elliot
Yeah, I can get behind that.
I think Spider-Man adds so much to this team mainly because how dynamic he is. He'd have something interesting to say to each one of these characters, and depending on how they pull it off, it could be great. It's all in the writers hands now, but I'm hoping the interactions as well as the individual character moments are well worth. I'm being extremely cautions though, and not really expecting much. Just hoping.
I think Branagh was an excellent choice for Thor. He has an impressive body of directorial work; and his ease with Shakespearean material lent itself well to the God of Thunder.

Andrew Garfield's physique was more akin to Spiderman's than Toby's, Toby always looked "chunky" to me... even more so when wearing the costume. Spiderman is slender not chunky. And the new dude has an alright physique for Spiderman already going by some of his Instagram pics.
More akin to Spider-Man? The Adult version? No. Spider-Man is quite beefed up but not so much as compared to other Superheroes. Yes, the younger version (Ultimate Spider-Man) is slender but not the original Earth-616 version.

Tom Cruise is 5'5" and is the tallest person in all his movies.

I'll put money on Spider-man never losing a fight to any of the Avengers in these movies. They'll avoid putting them in that situation.
Yeah I prefer rami's interpretation. Juts because its source material, that does not automatically make it superior.

what makes you say that?
The chin mole is gone if you look up any recent pictures of him.

I like this guy. He does indeed look like a highshooler.
Only concern is he is 19. Given how long movies take to make, for how many movies will his looks hold up?

Clearly he should be played by a 28yr old.
it's the double chin. Which I loved because he felt like a regular bloke insteada plastic doll Chris Evans

So he knew it since last year.
Garfield physically speaking was probably the best we've had. But I always liked a more slender Spidey personally speaking. Tobey looked real good in SM1.

I don't know why they keep insisting on looking for people fresh out of film school to direct their $250million blockbusters? It didn't work so well with Marc Webb. If it did, there wouldn't be another reboot so soon. I guess it is just easier for producers to control these fresh young new guys than some older more accomplished director.
Webb got shafted by Sony as much as Garfield. I don't blame him for the design by comittee disaster ASM films.
It's Marvel Studios who's producing the film, not Sony.
boiled goose
good with gravy
Just not another origin story please
Kevin Feige already said that it won't be.
you never noticed Tom Cruise is short? 😦
They've confirmed multiple times that it won't be. They're treating it as if he already exists in the MCU.

That still doesn't give me a lot of confidence.
Their movies are better than Sony's recent efforts by miles. We'll be fine.
Well, let's see how Ant Man goes.
Sony suits had a hand in the shortcomings of the TASM franchise too, why the fuck should Kaz Hirai have any say what goes in the film? Lol.
I feel like they mask it pretty well in relation to other actors.
only if he's psychic...

Also, the list of the final six is interesting....
Holland, Asa Butterfield, Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Plummer and Charlie Rowe
Lintz would have been such a young choice:
And I really wouldn't have minded Charlie Rowe
In fact, I don't know enough about Holland to give an opinion, but since it came down to him and Rowe, I can say I'm very happy with the direction casting went.
