Here's When We'll Find Out Who's Playing SPIDER-MAN. Probably. Er, Maybe.
The excitement surrounding who will play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has now reached ridiculous level, as the latest report - which comes from a trade no less - claims to reveal WHEN a decision will be made about the next actor to play Peter Parker. Read on for details...
Who will play Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War? That's the question everyone is asking and it's the biggest mystery since...er, the time we all wondered who would play Doctor Strange! After reports yesterday that Tom Holland, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Rowe, and Charlie Plummer are the final four in the running to play the next Peter Parker, Deadline has tonight weighed in with a report that might provide some clarity on when we'll hear some solid news. Despite not knowing who the frontrunner is, they've "now learned that the decision could come next week."
And that's it! That's our big update for the weekend. In all seriousness though, this comes from a reliable source, so even just this small titbit of information may clear things up a tad. Whether Marvel will choose to announce who's playing Spider-Man after choosing the actor remains to be seen of course, but there can't be much longer to wait now. Who do you hope they cast?
