Casting Call: Spider-man

If you haven't heard by now, where've you been? Sony have struck a deal with the guys over at Marvel Studios for their most valuable property, Spider-man, to appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future.

That's right, the famous web-slinger will be going toe-to-toe with RDJ's Tony Stark and Chris Evans' Captain America - for realsies this time. It's thought that the new Spider-man will be another reboot that retools the character from the version seen in Marc Webb's divisive Amazing Spider-man series.

But, before we see we see any new Spidey action, there are certain bridges to cross - namely, who'll be playing Peter Parker himself (other than Andrew Garfield that is). Therefore, this post contains my thoughts on who should don the red and blue lycra for Spidey's latest foray to the big screen.

Ahh, the Spider-man franchise. Mirroring the titular web-slinger himself, the fortunes of this property are swinging back and forth rather rapidly. Barely a day goes by without a new report on the future Sony has in store for Spidey, only for them to be quickly countered by something equally absurd.

Unlike Spidey however, the crew over at Sony are really struggling to make anything stick. When it comes to the Spider-man film franchise, they've been left well and truly scratching their heads. So, the question of everyone's lips; what now?
