    Supposedly this is confirmed, but it still feels like a rumor. According to TheCinemaSource:

     Inside sources say that Percy Jackson star, Logan Lerman has been cast in the Sony reboot of the Spider-Man

    This may well be completely true, but the whole "inside sources" thing isn't a sure thing every time. Earlier in the month, we covered Logan saying he was interested in the role, and now it seems to have come full circle. Why cast so young? Well, earlier last week, we mentioned that Bendis was involved in some aspects of the upcoming reboot, which launched rumors that this reboot may be of the "Ultimate" variety.  According to CinemaSource, that seems to look like what's happening.

     The story takes the characters back to high school in the New York City borough of Queens

    As Babs mentioned before, Logan isn't some random talent off the street. He's had a pretty impressive career already. Besides, Percy Jackson, Logan has been in such films as Gamer, 3:10 To Yuma, The Number 23, Hoot, and The Butterfly Effect. Some of those films may not have been the best films in the world, but if you remember him, he was pretty good in all his parts.
     
    What do you guys think? Can Logan pull it off?

    I felt his appearance in 3:10 to Yuman was a decent one. He has the looks to pull it off, so I wouldn't mind him getting a shot at it.

    It seems like he can pull it off, but I'll wait to see the first trailer to give my true thoughts on the matter.  I'm feeling confident about this reboot, except for it being in 3D (I'm just not a fan...).

    Definitely yes, he was fantastic in both Gamer and 3:10 to Yuma; both were excellent.  This kid is good and I think he'll surprise the fans.  I liked Tobey Maguire, but if they must choose a new Peter Parker, Lerman seems like the right choice.

    Yeah, he can totally pull it off, but I am taking this "confirmed" casting with a grain of salt. I don't think we should believe it quite yet.

    Thumbs up.  This is almost exactly the way I pictured Ultimate Spidey in my head.  I've only seen him in Butterfly Effect, though.

    It's funny that you guys post this today. Cause yesterday I was watching Percy Jackson online and I was thinking - " I wouldn't be surprised if they get this kid to play Parker. Since they might go the Ultimate Spider-Man route." 
     
    Just find it pretty funny. I liked the kid in 3:10 to Yuma.

    I liked him in the short lived show Jack and Bobby, and I'm willing to give him a shot. He's a better choice than some of the other names that I've heard IMHO.

    Hey, Maybe in the Spider-man movie they will have a cameo of Thor ha ha ha. He can pull this off if he works out and looks like this spider-man.

    Logan was good as Percy Jackson, but he's more of a Spider-Boy than Spider-Man. I think someone older should be him, someone in their 20s or 30s. 20s if Peter Parker is at school.

    Certainly better than Zac FN Efron, still think Joseph Gordon-Levitt would be a better choice but if they want to make Spidey a teenager again then maybe not!

    @sora_thekey:
    How in the world do you put up his real picture next to a picture of Spider-Man rather than Peter Parker to make the comparison? 
     
    I look at that pic and can buy him as a teenage Peter Parker based on the look. I've seen some of the movies that he's done but I don't remember him so I can't comment on his acting skills. But it wouldn't take much to be better than Tobey McGuire.

    AWESOME this was the guy I absolutely wanted to play him as soon as I found out he was interested. This is great news and I hope its true and it sticks and even to the people that arent sure about this guy you gotta admit he is 100% better than Zac Efron.

    he was good in 310 to yuma, held his own with crowe and bale. comedic timing in meet bill and those videos he posts on utube shows he could do the zingy one-liners and edgier side of parker that maguire couldn't pull off. i see him in the role but what's taking sony so long to go public on its choice
