Now that Marvel Studios and Sony have cast Peter Parker/Spider-Man (sorry, Miles Morales fans), it's hard to think what the next big anticipated comic book movie casting is. Green Lantern? Captain Marvel? Darkseid? Shazam? Wong?! Regardless, this new Spidey is a pretty big deal, especially as he's set to make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in next year's Captain America: Civil War. Did you ever expect to see the wall-crawler standing alongside The Avengers on the big screen?
It's going to happen, and it will be followed by a trilogy of Spider-Man movies focusing on the character's teenage years in high school. In their quest to find the new Peter Parker, Marvel looked at more than 1500 actors, but it was ultimately Tom Holland who they decided is the right choice. The 19 year old apparently impressed Kevin Feige when he screen tested opposite both Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) and Chris Evans (Captain America), so if he has faith in him, shouldn't we?
The response to this casting news has been as vocal as you might expect, so we thought we'd find out once and for all how you feel with the use of a poll! Is Holland the perfect pick to don the webbed mask or should Marvel and Sony have reconsidered one of the other candidates? Here's your chance to let us know, so cast your vote and share your thoughts in the usual place...
