FAN-CAST: Looking For A Spectacular Spider-Man

FAN-CAST: Looking For A Spectacular Spider-Man

No... That's not the name of the movie. Just uh.. Never mind.

"I want to keep it simple, everything we need is already at Oscorp.."


       My oh my Dane, how things change in such an instant. Despite your wasted talent, I agree with you, however, while I do want to keep it small I can assure you that I am not looking for it in Oscorp.

    Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, everyone else who goes on this site: As you may or may not have heard, Sony is splitting a deal with Marvel to ensure us that he does get to share screen-time with other characters. While he is not fully home yet, I am excited in this new tale Marvel could very much spin around with. As heard, Marvel is looking for new younger actors that could essentially play the web-slinger himself.


I was thinking this movie could be a cross of Perks of Being A Wallflower meets Kick-Ass in terms of tones and themes, as the whole movie Peter is faced with trust issues and having to juggle his relationships with other students.

     With that in mind, I bring you this fan-cast brought from the very mind that is trying to avoid Doom's critiques ever so decisively.

Oh yeah... Title of the movie, *rolls up curtain*

                                                                   
                                                                          MARVEL'S SPIDER-MAN




Asa Butterfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man

While this guy is still sort of relatively unknown, his performances have been heard as great, throughout the site I've been hearing names tossed back and forth between Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman, but quite rarely did I ever hear his name pop up. Before I thought to myself, "The kid from 'Hugo'? As Spidey? Nah." However, I was wrong, he indeed has the looks to play a kind, geeky, warm-hearted kid. Bullied? I don't buy it.

Alternate Choices: Zachary Gordon


Isabelle Fuhrman as Mary Jane Watson

This one was a definite wildcard, I didn't want to cast Bella Thorne as she played to me more as the always-popular high-school girl. But, in the Ultimate comics, while MJ was depicted as popular, quite frankly there was always a difference between knowing a lot of people and being popular. This girl had the first one quite easily. Strange thing is, MJ is depicted as hot, sexy, and feisty, I never wanted that from her (Well, okay maybe a little.) But I always imagined the "girl-next-door" as being down-to-earth, genuinely nice, and never intending to think more than what they actually are. I've only seen her in a few films, but she has decent acting chops and could play a fiercer, happier, and sadder version of an MJ that could beat the crap out of Kirsten Dunst.



Sasha Pieterse as Gwen Stacy

I know what you're thinking, goddamn relax. Emma Stone did a wonderful portrayal of Ms. Stacy in 'The Franchise Killer', however, this time around I'm not looking for an innocent girl with a little zest. I was aiming for a more contemporary, quick-witted, punkier version of Gwen Stacy. I want the women in Peter's life to be able to step up like he has, and try to do something about the situation at hand. Something that was there in the previous reboot, but was vaguely strucken upon due to the banter between Gwen and Peter.



Nick Robinson as Harry Osborn


I'll be frank with you, I've never seen the kid act before. My friend suggested to me that he play the part of Peter Parker, but at first glance I thought he could be Flash Thompson instead. But when going through this casting decision, while he indeed looked like a d-bag, he looked like a d-bag with some sensitiveness in his eyes. Add that to him wearing a suit and I immidiately thought, HARRY OSBORN!
Keep in mind, I'm not pushing this as a prominent role or a villanious role, but just a cameo in the beginning of the movie.


Jamie Lee Curtis as Aunt May

A fan-favorite amongst CBM users, I believe Mrs. Curtis has what it takes to be the strong, independent, brave aunt I depicted her as. Sally Field struck an okay performance, Rosemary Harris was the wise Aunt May, it's time to bring in a more fleshed-out version of the character I'd been waiting for.




Kurt Russell as Uncle Ben


HEY, IT'S A HALLUCENATION AND FLASHBACK, CALM DOWN. This version of Uncle Ben I wanted was a wiser, more laid-back person than depicted by both Martin Sheen and the late Cliff Robertson. I wanted him to be a strong-willed, hippie uncle that I was quite fond of... He's also pretty kick-ass.




Matthew Goode as Quentin Beck/Mysterio


Yes, he is the main villain of the movie. I want this film to center on trust, and how since the 18 months Peter's life changed, he pretty much has everything and nothing in his life. What better way to torment him more than bring in a failed-actor-turned bank-heister who also happens to be a master manipulator/illusionist. I felt Matthew could bring that due to his performance as Ozymandias in Watchmen. He could play decisive, arrogant, manipulative, etc etc. Add on the after-events of Civil War and you're in for a hell of a movie.




           Well, that's the end of my fan-cast. Hopefully you all enjoy my picks, let me know your casting decisions and directing picks in the comments below. Give it a thumbs up if you liked it, and if you guys want to know who I'd pick for a director, it'd be Matthew Vaughn. He has pulled some pretty balls-y moves in terms of film-making, and I'd say him directing the first film for Spider-Man would be pretty damn cool.




P.S, someone get Henry Jackman to compose, his First Class/Kick-Ass soundtrack was by far awesomer than what Hans Zimmer could muster up for that inexcusable mess of a score.

Nah, I'm not too excited about another Spider-Man origin story. But the cast is fine. And anything with Ali from Pretty Little Liars is worthy. And going unknown isn't too bad.

By the way, I've also done a cast for a Spider-Man. So would you please check it out and leave your critique on it as well?

I don't know what it is, but I absolutely hate Asa Butterfield. Don't know why, I just do. He's just always gotten on my nerves.

Interesting cast, whilst I like a lot of the actors/actresses here, I wouldn't actually cast them in these roles (outside of Jamie Lee Curtis, because that is perfect).

Only other thing I'd add is whilst I acknowledge Marvel are going for the High School route, Asa Butterfield personally looks about 13 to me; a little too young for the role, if anything I'd prefer Marvel go with somone in their early 20's who could pass of as being a late teen.

Ignoring that, nice cast, and hope you can check out my MCU cast;

I do like some of your picks....never thought of Jaimie Lee for Aunt May, but love it. I already cast Meg Ryan in mine (http://www.comicbookmovie.com/spider-man/news/?a=115562). I also want Mysterio for the main baddie in the first film, but I really couldn't think of who to play him...
