Spider-Man/Peter Parker - Ed Speleers (Eragon, Deathless)
Pretty odd choice, I know. After Andrew Garfield landed the role, I scrambled for someone who looks well enough to fit in the skintight suit. I stumbled upon Speleers one day, and he just seems to scream Parker to me.
Others I considered: Logan Lerman, Jamie Bell
Mary Jane Watson - Evan Rachel Wood (True Blood, Thirteen)
This was a tough one, but I think Wood has the looks necessary to carry MJ.
Others I considered: None
Gwen Stacy - Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone, X-Men First Class)
Another tough one. I almost went with Dakota Fanning until I saw Lawrence in a RottenTomatoes.com page once. I knew right then that she would rock in the role.
Others I considered: Dakota Fanning, Amanda Bynes
Green Goblin/Norman Osborn - Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider, National Treasure)
I know, I know. Not many people on here like Cage's acting style (especially after Ghost Rider). He was actually offered the role back when they were working on Spider-Man 2002, and he does have a bit of resemblance. Plus if he can put the voice he used in G-Force in a much more serious, darker tone, I'm interested in seeing him try.
Others I considered: John Malkovich
Dr. Octopus/Doctor Octavious - Oliver Platt (2012, Frost/Nixon)
Alfred Molina was so perfect as Doc Ock, it's literally impossible to rival his performance! Platt seems to look great for the role, and I'd like to see him have a go at it.
Others I considered: None
Harry Osborn - Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter franchise, December Boys)
I hate the HP series as much as LEEE777 hates Punisher War Zone, but Radcliffe seems to look qualified for Harry.
Others I considered: Anton Yelchin, Jesse Eisenburg
Uncle Ben - Dustin Hoffman (All The President's Men, Meet The Fockers)
Cliff Robertson was perfect, and I can't think of anyone else who could rival him.
Others I considered: Michael Caine
Aunt May - Helen Mirren (RED, The Queen)
I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
Others I considered: None
J Jonah Jameson - Hugh Laurie (Stuart Little, 101 Dalmatians)
JK Simmons IS JJJ, but for a reboot someone needs to replace him. I've never seen Laurie act, but I saw a lot of people have in as JJJ in their fancasts, so he's apparently a good choice.
Others I considered: None
Betty Brant: Sophia Bush (John Tucker Must Die, The Hitcher)
I stumbled upon her once, and I was convinced that she would kill the role.
Others I considered: Zooey Deschanel, Keira Knightly
Sandman/Flint Marko - Channing Tatum (, Step Up)
I can't say I'm a fan of his acting abilities, but he looks too perfect for the role. Thomas Haden Church's performance was the money, however.
Others I considered: John Cena, Chris Evans
Venom/Eddie Brock - Timothy Olyphant (Gone In 60 Seconds, Scream 2)
I originally wanted to go with a younger Brock (like in Spiderman 3), but Olyphant looks like he'd rock it.
Others I considered: Jesse Eisenburg, Michael Fassbender
Vulture - Ben Kingsly (Gandhi, Prince Of Persia)
I understand he's a fan favorite for the role, and for good reason. He's one of my favorite actors of all time, and he looks literally perfect for the role.
Others I considered: John Malvkovich, Patrick Stewart
Kraven The Hunter - Christian Bale (The Fighter, Nolan's Batman saga)
I know a lot of people want Gerard Butler or Josh Brolin, but for some reason I better see Bale in the role. I love his acting, and with his Oscar-winning beard, he could probably hunt the Spider.
Others I considered: Josh Brolin, Gerard Butler
Scorpion/Mac Gargan - Vin Diesel (Fast & The Furious, xXx)
Okayokayokay, this will DEFINITELY go under flames. I honestly can't think of anyone else who would do a decent job.
Others I considered: None
The Rhino - Dwayne Johnson (Faster, The Game Plan)
All you need for this one is a tough, mumbling dude who abruptly calls Spidey a punk when he's making wise cracks. Enter The Rock.
Others I considered: None
Carnage - Michael Fassbender (Jane Erye, 300)
I originally thought of Fassbender as Venom, but now he seems to be better looking for Carnage. I know many wanna cast him into every other CBM role, but he should do fine here.
Others I considered: None
Silver Sable - Scarlet Johannson (Iron Man 2, The Prestige)
She's literally the first person I thought of when I was casting this. Plus, she's too hot to resist.
Others I considered: None
Well, there ya go. I'm still having trouble finding actors who can play Mysterio, Electro, etc., so if anyone has any suggestions, sound them out below.
