The site managed to catch up with Josh Hutcherson, who's one of the candidates on the rumoured "short list", and asked him a few questions about his audition. Below are the parts where he talks about the Spider-Man reboot but to read the rest, just follow the link at the bottom of the page!
On his audition and how he feels about being considered for the role:
"I think a lot of people are auditioning and talking about it, so it's an honor to be considered on the same list with some of these actors that I'm up against. It's really cool. To be talked about in that kind of role is very awesome."
On whether he's still in the running:
"I really don't know what's going on with everything right now. It would be an honor to play that role, it's a big thing, it's a total game changer. I really want to play a comic book hero. I'm not really huge into comics, but I've always been big into superheroes from the cartoons and the movies that have been made about them."
On whether he got to read the script for the movie:
"No, they won't let anybody read that. They have it in a safe inside a vault inside some secret Fort Knox location."
