The Final Two Contenders For Marvel's Spider-Man

And then there were two. While I expected a prolonged series of shortlist leaks and speculative reports, it appears that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures may have already narrowed down their list of contenders to play the new Spider-Man. The first shortlist story that arrived listed Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars), Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), Tom Holland(The Impossible), Timothee Chalamet (Interstellar), and Liam James (The Way Way Back) as being among the candidates set to test for the role. Then a few days ago, a rumor surfaced that 18-year-old Butterfield is the frontrunner to play Peter Parker in the MCU and his own standalone movie via Sony.

Now Devin from Badass Digest says he’s heard that Marvel and Sony (the latter has final say over casting) have zeroed in on Butterfield and Holland as the final two contenders to land the gig. While early reports pegged Wolff as a potential frontrunner given that he has a solid fanbase and is on the cusp of breaking out in this summer’s Paper Towns, others said Marvel and Sony really want someone young to play the high school-aged Spidey, and Wolff is already 20.

They look identical. I guess it doesn't matter who gets picked then.

Ho boy, well atleast they ain't male model looking mofos like the last on.

While I'm really hoping that they just keep Andrew Garfield and just do another installment after ASM 2, Butterfield, for me, is a solid contender.

I want Tom. He looks like Peter.

Why is Marvel so obsessed with using a young Peter Parker? Why not give us something we've never seen before and make Peter an established hero?

Wow both those kids look like they haven't even started puberty, yet. I dunno if I'm in the minority, but I prefer college-aged Spidey. And i sure as hell don't want 3 Spider-Man origin movies in less than 20 years.

IIRC, they said the new Spider-Man movie won't be a reboot and that Peter will have been active for at least a little while

It will be reboot, but it won't be an origin movie.

Yeah my bad

I'm just happy that he's in the MCU. Feige promissed this decade's Batman Begins. That and the fact tha i love Spider-Man got me extremely hyped. I wanted Drake Bell or Zac Efron to play him though :/

@rdclip: there won't be an origin story

Why not Dylan O'Brien Marvel? He's only in his early 20s!

Dylan

I don't like either of these guys.....

Don't care.

Both look pretty "meh" for the role.

Garfield is still my favorite Spider-Man.

I want none of them, I want Dylan O'brien. These guys don't cut it for me.

I really hope it is lol Garfield sadly wasn't given enough to work with to define the role in his own terms IMO

Your choice are.................different lol

Eh.
