FAN CAST: Spider-Man Reboot - Something Different

FAN CAST: Spider-Man Reboot - Something Different

A bit late to the fan cast party but I figured I'd try my hand at giving a few different ideas...

Seen a lot of the other fancasts and just felt like coming up with something a little different.

If they are going back to Highschool I guess we have to go young and all of the "Teens" may seem young but in fairness most of the people I've picked will actually be in their twenties by the time the film comes out much like Tobey Maguire etc in the first film and the youngest would be 18/19 and the oldest.

So here are some people I think could work that you may not have seen or thought of before.

That is except for JK Simmons as J.J. Jameson
I think they should try and hold onto him



Uncle Ben - James Garner



I think someone else may have suggested him before and frankly I think he would be good for the part

Aunt May - Jane Alexander



Oscar nominated actress and starred more recently in Terminator Salvation

Norman Osborne - John C. McGinley



I know we're all used to him as Dr. Cox from scrubs now but I really think he could pull it off well as Norman Osborne.

Now for the "Teens"

Flash Thompson - Robbie Amell (DOB -1988)



good jock type, played a football player on Canadian show - Life with Derek and I belive he's on a nickelodeon show now

Liz Allan - Katrina Bowden (DOB - 1988)



Smokin hot and plays Cerie on 30 Rock

Harry Osborne - Carter Jenkins (DOB - 1991)



Carter has appeared a good few shows and starred in surface. I think he could pull off the rich and entitled but not really cool vibe of Harry

Gwen Stacy - Britt Robertson (DOB - 1990)



Currently starring in Life unexpected, she's cute and very likeable and I think would suit the part well

MJ - Molly C Quinn (DOB -1993)



wanted to go with something different here. Molly is a true redhead, very pretty and although maybe not what people might expect from Mary Jane I think it would really work. She plays the daughter on Castle with Nathan Fillion

And finally

Peter Parker/Spiderman - Devon Werkheiser (DOB - 1991)



Again wanted to try someone others may not have considered. Formally of Ned's Declassified etc... Devon I think could pull off the nerdy to wisecraking personas very well and would work well as the web slinger

Well what do you think. Hey at least it's a few different people :)

I like 'em, but your dreaming if you think they will just keep JJJ!!

Good work man but i say WEBB will [frick] it up!

SPIDEY 4 all the way, reboot it from there, an ULTRA SPIDEY will not work!

By the way, the best AUNT MAY, and UNCLE BEN yet!

@Lee- I can think of another example where they kept a character when they rebooted the franchise- Judi Dench in Casino Royale.

So stranger things have happened!

i've never been much of a spidey fan aside from the battles with venom and carnage (gotta love the symbiotes) but this is a great idea for the cast of a reboot. i'm just glad Sam Raimi got away from the franchise b/c now he can go back to doing horror films like Drag me to Hell and the infamous Evil Dead trilogy!!

Decent-looking cast but some of them look TOO young...like they belong in Junior High instead of High School.
Also, they shouldn't introduce Mary Jane until he's in college.

Hey thanks for commenting. Like I siad I just wanted to throw out a few different names for consideration.
@Lee I don't think they'll keep JK Simmons either but I can dream can't I? :)and i'm still not really on board with the reboot but if it's gonna happen what can you do but hope for the best
@Anil I actually short listed Gary Sinise for Norman as well so I'd be happy with him
@Tankgirl Sorry but don't like Taylor Swift for Gwen, she's a singer and I'd rather an actress
As for their ages they said the reboot will be with them back in Highschool and my MJ pick is the youngest (which I was concerned about) but still she'll be 18 nearly 19 when the film comes out and the rest will be in their twenties so I don't know how much older you can get and still be believable

Great cast! Devon has a great comic timing and he'd be perfect for the more sarcastic and witty Peter that was missing from the Raimi movies.
