Marvel And Sony's Hunt For SPIDER-MAN Is Now Down To These TWO Actors
Earlier today, we heard that Asa Butterfield is out of the running to play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Well, a new report now reveals the two actors who are finalists, one of whom wasn't mentioned in by The Wrap's Jeff Sneider. Hit the jump for details...
While Asa Butterfield may now be out of the running to play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Birth.Movies.Death reports that Marvel and Sony's hunt is now down to just two actors. Those are Tom Holland (The Impossible) and Charlie Rowe (Never Let Me Go). The latter wasn't mentioned in the report from earlier today, but was said to be testing for the role last month.
The site adds that there is actually no real dispute between Marvel and Sony over the casting; instead, both parties are just "exhibiting a lot of caution" when it comes to finding the right actor to introduce as Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War. A reporter from Variety appears to have also confirmed that it's down to these two, so here's hoping we hear something official soon.
This seems to take Charlie Plummer and Matthew Lintz out of the running, and like The Amazing Spider-Man's Andrew Garfield, the next wall-crawler is once again going to be an Englishman...
