Would You Prefer Kick-Ass Or Chekov For Spider-Man?
space
Vactor   |  

Marvel movies certainly have been big news lately. With all the hub bub around the Captain America, Avengers, and Thor movies, you might forget there’s a reboot of the Spider-Man series coming out in 2012. You may recall Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman was the early rumor but since then a number of Hollywood’s freshest young faces have been linked to the role of Peter Parker.

As we previously reported, Kick-Ass star Aaron Johnson was recently spotted on the set of director Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, but the latest internet rumor has him up for Sony’s Spider-Man reboot.

Johnson joins the already robust list of actors up for the part including Jamie Bell, Frank Dillane, Alden Ehrenreich, Andrew Garfield and Josh Hutcherson.

Also new to the list is Anton Yelchin, the 21-year-old who made a big impact in last year’s Star Trek and Termination Salvation.

Johnson, who turns 20 today, already has experience in the “normal teenager to superhero” department so I could see him filling Peter Parker’s shoes nicely. Yelchin, meanwhile, seems like the more versatile actor with more films under his belt (everything from Along Came a Spider to Alpha Dog and Charlie Bartlett).

Director Marc Webb (500 Days Of Summer) has stated that screen tests will be beginning “shortly,” and Sony plans on starting production on the film by the end of this year for a July 3, 2012, release.

Who do you think would be the best choice for Peter Parker/Spider-Man?
