Could One Of These Actors Be The Next Spider-Man?

So as the monumental news that Spider-Man is set to join the Marvel Comics Universe sinks in, the rumour mill has cranked into action regarding possible candidates to take over from Andrew Garfield.

Dylan O'Brien from Teen Wolf and The Maze Runner and Logan Lerman from recent Brad Pitt war movie Fury are the two names that have popped up - with both being mentioned by reputable sources like The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

"Actors have yet to be approached, and sources say Sony is looking to hire a new director to replace The Amazing Spider-Man films' Marc Webb before tapping a new Spidey," Variety reports.

And it also reckons Sony plans to introduce the superhero as a pupil at Midtown High School.

"The plan is to spend more time in the setting and explore his awkward relationship with other students while fighting crime out of the classroom," it explains.

The historic crossover deal will see a new Spider-Man make his debut in a Marvel Studios movie before transitioning back for a solo outing at Sony Pictures - with the important caveat that Marvel big cheese Kevin Feige will be producing alongside Sony's Amy Pascal.

Another side-effect of the deal is that the new Spidey film - due in summer 2017 - has caused several Marvel projects to be moved back in order to avoid clashes at the box office.

Thor: Ragnarok was scheduled for 28 July, 2017 - the date that the Spidey reboot is now set to appear - and has been moved to 3 November, 2017.

Black Panther will now be released on 6 July, 2018, and Captain Marvel has been rescheduled for 2 November, 2018 - with Inhumans being pushed back to 12 July, 2019.

We're hoping it's worth it!

Who Played It Better? 10 Superheroes Played By Different Actors

  • Before Jennifer Lawrence’s blue-body Mystique make-over for X-Men, blonde bombshell Rebecca Romijn had three outings as the magnificent mutant, although rumour has it J-Law will achieve the ultimate comics honour and get a stand-alone Mystique film.

  • With great power, comes great responsibility, as both Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire well know. Tobey played Spidey from 2002-2007 while British-born Garfield took over as the insect-inspired hero in 2012.
    2 of 10
  • Fast & Furious actress Gal Gadot is next up to don the star-spangled suit and lasso of truth in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film. Hopefully she’ll fare better than Adrianne Palicki, whose outing as the Amazonian princess didn’t get past a TV pilot.
    3 of 10
  • Ed Norton re-visited his Fight Club training in 2008’s The Hulk, where he played the gamma-zapped Bruce Banner. After Norton backed out of the Avengers, he was replaced by Mark Ruffalo, much to fans’ fury, who were quick to smash the casting choice.
    4 of 10
  • Jessica Alba caused quite a ‘Storm’ as the Invisible Woman in 2005 flick Fantastic Four while House of Cards actress Kate Mara is set to steal her, err, thunder in an upcoming reboot, playing the superhero and her human alter-ego, Sue Storm.
    5 of 10
  • We know what you’re thinking: WTF. This is actually down to a re-boot of the comics, which previously featured Fury as a Hasselhoff lookalike, resulting in the Hoff playing Nick in a TV film. The character was later re-drawn to look like Samuel L Jackson.
    6 of 10
  • Kirsten Dunst was the original Spidey gal, playing flame-haired Mary Jane opposite Tobey Maguire. Divergent star Shailene Woodley was set to reprise the role alongside Andrew Garfield but sadly her efforts were left on the cutting room floor.
    7 of 10
  • Brandon Routh had an uphill battle as Clark Kent in Superman Returns, not least because he had to wear a pair of pants over his spandex suit. Luckily for Henry Cavill, most fans were so distracted by the big gun show they didn’t even clock the unitard.
    8 of 10
  • Played by a bevvy of on-screen beauties, Catwoman is well on her way to having nine lives but our favourite versions were undoubtedly Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry, who flaunted their feline charms until they had Batman purring in the palm of their paws.
    9 of 10
  • There was outrage when Ben Affleck was cast as the caped crusader following Christian Bale’s almost decade-long reign in the role. But fans are slowly coming round to the idea of ‘Batfleck’, who’ll make his silver screen debut as the character next year.
