Spider-Man - Actor Cast

[Mach_Full_Force]

I don't think Disney has anything to do with this film. It's only on movies that Marvel has the rights to. Which include Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Hulk.

And because of disagreements between Raimi and Sony, Raimi left and Maguire and co followed. So I don't think they really had much of a choice.

True enough, anyways I still think there's no need to reboot the series.

I'll withhold judgments about him & the series in general until I actually SEE something from it.

 

[KingRanger]

The meh comment sums this up in spades. :redface2:

 

[Kamen Rider Godzilla]

Sony is only making it so they don't lose the movie rights to Spider-Man.

 

[Matrix]

Could be worse. But he looks like a Peter Parker. Just............feels like yesterday when the first Spider-Man came out, this is truly pointless.

Andrew Garfield's hair is insane.

I wasn't a big fan of the MaGuire-Spidey, so I don't mind a reboot. Hell, I'm a sucker for superhero moves, so I don't mind. As long as they vary things a bit. Or a lot.

*facepalm* I still don't get why they have to remake Spiderman, the films from 2002, 2004, and 2007 were fine and weren't that long ago that requires a reboot, Disney really likes to milk whatever they get except in the worst possible way.

I have a feeling everyone will warm up to it eventually. Besides tobey as spidey wasn't bad...just felt a bit off. They moved him too quickly out of HS as well.

He's the same age Tobey Maguire was. Isn't this version of Peter supposed to be in the 10th grade? A 30-year-old playing a high school junior is not what's hot in the streets. Look at Teddy on 90210.

 

[Kamen Rider Godzilla]

I still think Logan Lerman would have been pretty good. Too bad he's too busy.

The setting might change from high school to college.

He's older than I would have expected based on the casting speculation surrounding this film. Most of the final candidates are genuine teenagers, while Garfield is 27 right now. Originally, the Jamie Vanderbilt script for this film had Peter Parker as a high school student, and the assumption was that Sony would cast young so that they could do several films over the course of high school and college, a la the Brian Bendis take in "Ultimate Spider-Man." What we're hearing now though is that Parker starts the series as a college student, and that makes more sense with this casting

That's probably why they went with an older actor.
