I like doing fan-casts. Some are mediocre. Most are perfect. This one is probably more mediocre than perfect, but that’s only because I didn’t get to choose the Peter or Aunt May. The other picks are solid as a rock. Anyways, just enjoy it. It’s pretty good.
1. Spidey takes on Vulture and Rhino, finally succeeding with Cap's help. We find out in the post-credits scene that Rhino was in prison with Fisk and was sent to take out Spidey for being potentially too problematic as a new and powerful hero in New York.
(Between the events of the first and second film, Spidey joins Daredevil on a special episode of his show and they take down Fisk together once he is out of prison and causing more problems.)
2. Spidey takes on Green Goblin.
3. Spidey takes on Kraven.
Peter Parker/Spider-Man – Tom Holland (The Impossible)
I was pulling for Charlie Rowe, myself, but I have faith in this kid.
Aunt May Parker – Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny)
I love that they went younger for Aunt May. Peter is supposed to be 15, guys. There’s no need for his dad’s sister to be 75. And I love Marisa Tomei.
Uncle Ben Parker (flashbacks) – Sean Bean (National Treasure, like the one thing he doesn't die in)
Lol. But he does die a lot in movies. Amirite?
Mary Jane Watson – Molly Quinn (Castle)
Not really many options for young, talented redheads right now. You could do Bella Thorne or that other girl, but Molly Quinn is so charismatic and beautiful. Plus, she’s really not that much older than Tom Holland. Just a few years.
J. Jonah Jameson – Kiefer Sutherland (24)
You didn’t think I was going to pull the J.K. Simmons card, did you? I don’t roll that way. No, I like Kiefer. Have you seen Monsters Vs Aliens? Remember General W.R. Monger? That was him. Dude’s crazy talented anyways, but add in the fact that he can do strong, harsh voices, and we’ve got ourselves a winner.
Robbie Robertson – Michael Ealy (Barbershop, among other cinematic masterpieces)
He seduced me. I wanted to go slightly younger with this pick to allow him to age into the role. And I just love his face. I do. He’s got nice eyes.
Betty Brant – Alexandra D’Addario (Percy Jackson series)
I love her in general. She funny and a sight for sore eyes. Maybe is Tom Holland ages enough to look good next to her, I’d love for them to date later on.
Flash Thompson – Emory Cohen (Place Beyond the Pines)
This is what many would call a “type-cast.” His wannabe tough guy thing worked pretty well in Place Beyond the Pines. I’d basically just want to see that character in this universe.
Harry Osborn – Timothée Chalamet (Interstellar)
I honestly don’t remember him in Interstellar. That movie was like 4 hours long, and he was only in the first 20 minutes. I chose him because he was on the short-list to play Peter, but I think he looks a tad too stuck-up. I think he looks far more like Harry than Peter. But not comic-Harry. No one’s hair actually looks like that.
Norman Osborn/Green Goblin (second film) – Chris Meloni (Law & Order: SVU)
Perfect age. Perfect hair. Great actor, both for comedy and drama. He’s very well-versed, and I can see him being Norman for so many reasons.
Adrian Toomes/Vulture – Billy Bob Thornton (Slingblade)
Originally, I had Thornton cast as Norman Osborn. Upon deeper thinking, I realized I’d want someone a little younger, but I didn’t want to get rid of Billy Bob. This brought me to adding Vulture to my cast. I think he would be a fun villain in the first film and return in the third film for Kraven's Last Hunt. Gives a good excuse for a recurring MCU villain. As for the first film however, I want Vulture and Rhino to be partners-in-crime tormenting Spidey while a certain someone is pulling the strings from a certain prison.
Aleksei Sytsevich/Rhino – Hafthór Björnsson (Game of Thrones)
Yeah, I just like this big dude. But you can’t just put any guy in a Rhino suit. Unless you’re Marc Webb. Then you do put just anyone in a rhino suit and call it a day. Not my style. I prefer the traditional Rhino.
Sergei Kravinoff/Kraven the Hunter – Eric Bana (Hulk)
Eric Bana is a great actor and would be perfect in the role.
Steve Rogers/Captain America – Chris Evans
I want Steve to show up in the first film when Pete can’t handle his life and failing to take on Vulture and Rhino. Cap comes to give advice and they end up taking on the two villains together. This is partially to set up a loose interpretation of the storyline with Vermin and the events of Kraven’s Last Hunt, but it will be with Vulture instead.
Enjoy? Yeah, I bet you did.
