Fan Cast: The Spectacular Spider-Man (MCU)

Fan Cast: The Spectacular Spider-Man (MCU)

Okay, I know everyone and their mother (and their second's cousins ex-roommate's brother) have been posting Spider-Man (MCU) fan casts. However, I still want to post my opinion on the matter. Check it Out.

I do like that Marvel want to keep Spidey in high school. With that said I get really sick of 20-30 year old actors being cast as teenagers. Their are plenty ofteen (or at least lower 20's) that could be cast. I will stick with that concept for the most part. Well then, lets get to it....

1.  Peter Parker/Spider-Man - Zachary Gordon (Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

Probally best known for starring in the 'Wimpy Kid' movies, I think Gordon would be the perfect fit for Peter. He is a fairy good looking young man who can pull off the nerdy aspect of Parker. He is a fairly decent actor for his age and I think Marvel and Sony can help him to hone his abilities.

2.  Mary Jane Watson - Bella Thorne (Shake it Up, and the new SCREAM show)

Bella Thorne from 'Shake it Up' came to my mind for MJ after reading about her being cast in the new 'Scream' show on MTV. She would be a great choice for MJ.

3.  Gwen Stacy/Spider-Gwen - Nicola Peltz (Transformers: Age of Extinction)

Nicola (Transformers: Age of Extinction) is my choice for Gwen. She is a lovely young actress and although she is fairly new to the scene, she is no stranger to big budget blockbusters. Just picture her with that black headband....see? lol

4.  Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman - Emma Watson (The Bling Ring, the Harry Potter series)

I love Emma Watson (Harry Potter series')! She is beautiful and talented! I think Jessica should be slightly older than some of the other cast and her ties to SHIELD could help tie Spidey to the MCU. I'd love for her to have a reaccuring hero role in the MCU.....hell I'd give her any role she wanted.

5.  Felicia Hardy/Black Cat - Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, Carrie)

Chloe proved she can kick ass in 'Kick-Ass' and I just think she'd be good for the part.

6.  Uncle Ben - Tom Hanks (Cast Away, Forest Gump)

Mr. Hanks is a incredible actor. I can't imagine he'd want to do a multi pic deal, so why not play Uncle Ben?

7.  Aunt May - Meg Ryan (The Doors)

I have always had kinda a thing for Meg. Hell, she even already has an established cemestry with Tom Hanks.

8.  J. J. Jameson - William H. Macy (Shameless)

Granted J.K. was hands down GREAT as Jameson...but if I were to give someone else the chance to bring the character to the big screen, I'd go with Macy. He is an excellent actor with a very wide range. Plus, I'm a huge Shameless fan.

PAUSE....okay, I'm getting a little tired of typing, so for the rest I'm just listing them and giving you NO explanation....lol

9.  Norman Osborne/Green Goblin - Jason Isaacs (the Harry Potter series)


10. Cletus Kasady/Carnage - Robert Knepper (Prison Break, The Flash) or Jackie Earle Haley (Watchmen)


11. Adrian Toomes/Vulture - Colm Fore (TASM 2) or Robert Englund (Freddy vs Jason)


12. Eddie Brock/Venom - Ben Foster (X-Men: The Last Stand)


13. Otto Octavious/Dr. Ock - Sam Neill (Jurassic Park)


14. Frank Castle/Punisher - Karl Urban (Dredd)


15. Aleksei Sytsevich/Rhino - Dominic Purcell (Prison Break, The Flash)


16. Kraven the Hunter - Viggo Mortensen (Lord of the Rings)



[Added After Original Post]

17. Cindy Moon/Silk -Hailee Steinfield


I know she isn't Asain-American, however she is an amzingly talented actress for her age. Check out the remake of 'True Grit' to see for yourself. I truely believe she could pull the part off. Honestly my first choice would've been Kristin Kruek from 'Smallville' if she wasn't 30 now.

One character I'd really like to see as the main villian in a Spidey movie is Mysterio, however, I don't know who I'd want to play him yet....Well, that's it for now....I may add more later...but so far, whatdayathink?

Well done for a Spiderman Fancast that is Original, everyone else has been picking the same actors.
Unique Spiderman and well done for trying to keep everyone the same age.

@SimplyAz - Thanks, there are a few actors on my list that I have seen multiple times before on fan casts, but they are ones that are really so ideal for the part I couldnt even picture someone else in the role.

@JredTheRed Well done,Keep up the good.

Best Spidey fan cast I've seen since the MCU news broke.
I am obsessed with this cast! Love every choice.

Good job, I really like some of the choices

Damn I gotta post my article. Every fan cats another one of my cast members becomes less original!!!!

I love the cast though, except Peltz. She's a bullshit actress and always has been. Besides, how can Gwen be hotter than MJ???

You're all crazy, Bella Thorne is gorgeous

Why couldn't you find a young Asian-american actress for Silk? Bad enough there isn't enough minority superheroes. Someone like Jamie Chung would be perfect for Silk.

@nerdicus As gorgeous as Chung is, let's not do the 30 year old acting like a teenager, again.

I don't like your choices for the young people. But the older casting choices are excellent.

- I remember Zachary from Super 8. Somehow, I think he could be perfect for the role.
- I've always seen Bella as Jean Grey from the All New X-Men arc. But I can see the appeal to have her play Mary Jane.
- I'm with KingNTheKong. Nicola is an awful actress, and doesn't really fit Stacy.
- Emma could be interesting to watch as Jessica Drew!
- Oof, why Moretz as Black Cat. I think mid-to-late 20's should fit the criteria for Black Cat. Moretz is just "cute".
- Macy does play an interesting scumbag in Shameless. Would be nice to see him as JJJ.
- Robert Knepper as Carnage is played out.
- I'd go with Robert Englund as Vulture. Besides, Colm already appeared in a Spider-Man film.
- Interesting Doc Ock, Punsiher and Rhino choices!
- In honesty, it's hard to find a young Asian-American actress for the role of Cindy Moon. But what about Selina Lo? She's trained in martial arts since four years old, and most actors/actresses at 24 still play kids.

Overall, not too shabby. Would you please check out MY Spider-Man fancast and leave a critique on it also?

I would prefer Emma Watson as Gwen Stacy, I know you stuck to a certain age group for certain characters; which I like.

Like the cast, can't hate on any picks really.

Your Norman pick is not one I would of thought of, but it is so perfect.

I want to see Tom Hanks play a villain in a comic book film. My first pick would be Scareface in a Batman film.

JredTheRed - 2/21/2015, 12:18 PM
Thanks for the input everyone.

@CherryBomb - Thanks, I put alot of thought into it.

@nerdicus - I'm not familiar with any teenage Asian-american actresses. I think Hailee could pass as asain-american tho. Have you seen True Grit? She is very talented for her age. And yea Chung is getting up there just like Kruek.

@KingNTheKong and @MikeZ - What else has Nicola been in other than Transformers? As far as I know she doesn't have too much experience. I'm sure there is potential. Honestly I don't think Chris Hemsworth is the best actor, but I love him as Thor. If she can do the character then I'm all for it.

@MileHighRonin - I would let Emma have any role she wanted. I just love her. Also, I'd really like to see Tom Hanks have some sorta role in any CBM franchise. I just figured he wasn't the type to want to star in sequel after sequel. That's what got me thinking Uncle Ben. Plus with Marvel's track record with getting award winning A-list actors, it could be possible.

Wow just wow. This cast is amazing my Favs are your casting for Osborn and Black Cat. I would pay double to see this cast

Great cast you got there! Never thought of Karl Urban as The Punisher though. Also if the rumours are true, then he might be a villain in the DCCU. But nevertheless, you have a truly out standing cast for Spider-Man, his supporting cast and rogues gallery.

Yeah, these are pretty solid choices! I LOVED Uncle Ben and Aunt May being Hanks and Ryan hahaha..an homage of sorts to their on-screen chemistry they always had in Nora Ephron RomCom classics like You've Got Mail and Sleepless In Seattle. That casting decision alone has heart and character in and of itself! Brilliant move! It'd be waste if not used!

Nicely done, well thought out...hope you do more in the future...

Good cast; however, I think Burt Reynolds should be Uncle Ben this time around



just a joke

Still think that Cody Christian would be a good Spider-Man

this is the best spidey fancast I have seen in a while.
Original and plausible. Well done!

@JredTheRed - I know that this is totally off topic (well not really) and I know that it might seem impossible, but if Samurai Jack and Young Justice could come back then there's a slight possibility that this could come back too. So if you're a fan of this show sign this because if it doesn't come back we lose nothing but if Marvel hears us and realizes that there is a demand for this product we might end up with a new season of the best Spider-Man cartoon.
this is a fresh / just made petition so lets make this a thing, lets make marvel hear our crave for a new seaason, lets bring spectacular spider-man back!
