on These six young actors auditioned for Marvel's Spider-Man today

Six young actors auditioned for Marvel’s Spider-Man in Atlanta today, according to The Hollwood Reporter:

Tom Holland, who appeared as one of Naomi Watts’ sons in the acclaimed tsunami drama The Impossible, and Asa Butterfield, the child star from Hugo and Ender’s Game, were the best known of the contenders. The other four hopefuls included: Judah Lewis (a relative newbie who will be seen in the Jean Marc-Vallee’s fall drama Demolition), Matthew Lintz (who will be seen with Adam Sandler in this summer’s Pixels), Charlie Plummer (who had a recurring gig on Boardwalk Empire), and Charlie Rowe (a British actor who appeared on Fox’s short-lived Red Band Society).

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, former Sony president and now a Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal, and Captain America: Civil War directors Joe and Anthony Russo were all present for the auditions.

Marvel’s Spider-Man is expected to make his debut in Captain America: Civil War, and The Hollywood Reporter says that a casting decision is expected to be made next week. Stay tuned to Spider-Man News for all the latest on your new Spider-Man!

    Poor Garfield. He was a great Parker/Spidey and he really had a passion for the character and source material. It’s a pity Marvel is so Hell-bent on having a high school Parker. Garfield would have been fun in the MCU.

      I think the problem is Kevin Feige. He’s known to be a massive control freak and he wouldn’t allow someone he didn’t personally have a hand in casting play Spidey in the MCU. It would have been easy to fold the ASM films into the MCU and it would have been less jarring to the general public who have to get used to yet another Spider-Man actor (and continuity) in just a few years.

    Charlie Rowe sure does look a lot like Peter Parker

    Some of these actors were born after the year 2000 and that freaks me out a little bit.

    Yup, gunna have to go with either Asa Butterfield or Charlie Rowe. No one else looks the part or they look younger than 16-18 to play it. Charlie Rowe does look like a better Peter Parker than Asa, but Asa could be a good choice for the part as well, seeing his background in big movies like Hugo and Ender’s Game. I’m hoping for one of the two, hopefully Marvel won’t disappoint us by casting someone born after 2000. Yikes. We’ll see in the upcoming week!
