According to a report from the Daily Record, a Scottish Newspaper, Michael Cera and Robert Pattinson are tipped to become the next Peter Parker now that the film franchise is set for a reboot. The news comes at the bottom of an article about the reboot, and could be nothing more than a throwaway line, but it does have people thinking
It seems far too unlikely either actor will grace the screen as the new Peter Parker. Both are a little too high profile and, as I understand it, busy. A quick look through the comments section of CBM articles will tell you that people are looking at young Josh Hutcherson to portray the next Spider-Man.
It will be interesting to watch the progress as well, and see whether Marvel acquires the property back, and heads for a more faithful adaptation of the comics or whether the studios hold on to Spider-Man and go for blockbuster action.
