    Cast your own actor as the new Spider Man

    Okay, now that Marvel is taking care of things...

    Who'd you cast as Peter Parker?

    IMO, Andrew Garfield did an excellent job in the dual role...but looks like he's out.

    I'm kinda leaning on towards bypassing the geeky teenager...and go for an older and more seasoned Spidey/Parker.

    Okay, I'll probably get bombarded by hate here...but I think Jake Gyllenhaal would make an awesome older Spidey/Parker.

    Remember, he was once considered to replace Tobey Maguire at one point.

    He has the look, plus great acting chops.

    Who dares to disagree with me?

    And who is cool enough to agree with me?

    I have spoken!

    Others have pointed this out, but Grant Gustin from The Flash TV show would make a great Peter/Spidey...but he's busy.

      Logan Lehrman, I think, from the Percy Hawkins and Perks of Being a Wallflower. The kid can act, but I liked Garfield, too. Don't really understand the need to recast unless they go with Miles Morales.

        I think its time to give us Miles. Sony isn't giving up the license any time soon, might as well explore as much as they can since they don't have much else.

        And if that doesn't work, reboot.

        Speaking of, Japanese Spiderman just joined the 616 with his Gundam...wonder if we'll see ITALIAN Spider Man?

          I saw one story that said they were going younger for Spidey, so will it be Parker or Morales? Hope the Simmons rumors are true for the Marvel Movies. He was perfect as JJJ. His involvement kind of points at Parker being Spidey next time around.

                Cast a an Unknown Teenager.....for once I'd like to see a real teen play him not an adult who looks like a kid....and a actor who always wants to take the mask off....

                Christopher Reeve was a virtual unknown with an all star cast around him. Wish they would go that route.

                  ^ THIS.

                  That's what made Kick-*** work well. I'd say Aaron Taylor Johnson would've been a perfect Peter Parker.

                    Grant Gustin was bypassed as the movie version of the Flash...no way in hell he gets the Spidey role, lol.

                      ^Well, that's DC's rather questionable casting choices at work, IMHO. Marvel has shown a lot more sense in that regard.

                        If we're casting older, I vote Mark Margolis.

                        or Bea Arthur.

                          I hope Marvel continues to make great decisions like they've done so far. But Peter Parker IS SPIDERMAN!! If they F'D up and used Miles Morales, I blow a freakin' fuse! I HATE that character.

                            That is exactly who I picked as well for your reasons above.


                            He's a great actor and he looks exactly like an older Peter Parker.

                              Jake Gyllenhall is box office poison! No, seriously, he's work well, but I think they'll go much younger.

                              I wish they'd just keep Garfield. As I said elsewhere, he (and Emma Stone) were the best parts of those films, even when other parts were pretty bad (Joel-Schumacher-like-German-guy, I'm talking to you!).
