According to Badass Digest, Weeds actor Mateus Ward auditioned for the role of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The auditon was reportedly so secret, Ward had to audition at someone's house, not at a casting office.  Despite numerous rumous surrounding other young actors, Ward is the first to actually have his name mentioned for auditions.  Badass Digest further reports that Marvel is potentially looking to lockdown the next Spider-Man very quickly in order to film a cameo for Captain America: Civil War.  If this report is true, it would appear that Marvel may be looking to cast a relatively unkown for the role and someone young enough to continue playing Spider-Man for at least a decade.

Tried watching Weeds cause the MILF from RED is hot. I barely made it through the first episode. The urban mom chicks pissed me the [frick] off. I only mention that because I have no clue who this kid is.

Never heard of him. Not into season 8 of Weeds yet.

@TheGambitFreak

Try again, it's [frick]ing awesome. Kevin Nealon helps it get through the first season, and then things just go bat shit crazy.

If they pick him they are going with a hispanic, which will finally break the casting black people in white roles thing.

I think he is Hispanic anyways. He played a half Hispanic half Jew in Weeds.

Didn't Variety report Logan Lerman and Dylan O'Brien are candidates for Spider-Man also?

@TheGambitFreak

That was pretty much the reason I watched Weeds.

"Marvel is potentially looking to lockdown the next Spider-Man very quickly in order to film a cameo for Captain America: Civil War."

Excellent. A cameo is all it should be. Give BP his time to shine.

I love when ugly ass fanboys are jealous of the faces of actors and say shit like:

"this kids face pisses me off"

@LEVITIKUZ Those were just speculation by them due to the fan-favoritism they were getting.

I can see him playing the part, but I'm just tired of all these "Who's Playing Spider-Man Articles." Just announce someone Marvel :p

Yeah, but we haven't had any real reports as to if anyone has actually auditioned. Everything has just been speculation.

El Mayiambe said that they're trying to cast Parker by the time Age of Ultron comes out so it can be a huge announcement and whatnot.

More Disney effect on Marvel. They need a teeny bopper to get the kids in to see the movie? Look at the line-up for Avengers: RDJ is 50, Sam Jackson is in his 60s, Ruffalo is 52, Don Cheadle is 50. A teen-age spiderman? We already had that (albeit the actors were older than the age they were playing).

@vtopa or they need a hero that looks up to the Avengers, while setting up the long-term future once the core Phase 1-3 actors' contracts expires.
