Dennis Leary is... Captain Stacy?

[Brazoo]

Ahhh - okay, he was on Conan recently and said he was in the new Spider-Man movie. He said something like "I play a cop who goes after Spider-Man" and that sounded crazy - so this actually makes more sense to me now.

It's a good casting choice.

Just remember that they are basing this on the Ultimate Spider-Man...


Both May and Captain Stacey are presented as younger and in fact had romantic potential that was cut short by his death.

Strongly disagree - Leary is still one of the funniest comedians and can really act. Guy is all sorts of awesome in my book.

Hey...if he rocks your boat...more power to ya...

Smart move on Leary's part for taking this role. Shed the Tommy Gavin personna before "Rescue Me" ends. He may end up saving this movie.

Dennis Leary = annoying.

....The only good casting so far is Emma Stone as Gwen

Agreed.

I really don't like Pumpkinhead in the lead role either...argh...

[The Toyroom]

Say What? Capt. Stacy is a VERY wrinkled old dude...This movie sounds more and more ridiculous....The only good casting so far is Emma Stone as Gwen

[MIB41]

REALLY? This Spider-man reboot is just getting more and more bizarre.
