Marvel And Sony Reportedly Can't Agree On Who Should Be The New Spider-Man
As fans have been rejoicing about Spider-Man returning to Marvel, which apparently means everyone will get the reboot they've been dreaming of, even though the comic studio has already stated they'll be putting Peter Parker back in high school again. Some have forgotten, however, that Sony still has a say in what happens, and apparently from the start the studios can't seem to agree on who should sling webs.
On today's Meet The Movie Press, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider revealed that Asa Butterfield was out of the running for the role (which may be partially due to him talking about the part before he had it), and that the race is now down to two names: Tom Holland (“The Impossible”) and Charlie Plummer ("Boardwalk Empire"). The tricky part? Sony wants the former and Marvel wants the latter, though there's no word on why they have a difference of opinion on the matter.

That said, a decision will have to come soon either way as whoever is going to play Spidey is gonna have to get the spandex on soon and jump on the set of the currently filming "Captain America: Civil War." [via Comic Book Movie]

Apparently Asa Butterfield Is No Longer In The Running To Play SPIDER-MAN
Well, here's a surprise! We had heard that Butterfield (Ender's Game) was all-but guaranteed to land the role of Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War and beyond, but new info suggests that it's only Tom Holland, Charlie Plummer, and Matthew Lintz left in the running...

In today's edition of Meet The Movie Press, The Wrap's Jeff Sneider gave listeners an update on the casting of Marvel and Sony's new Spider-Man. According to him, it's now a 3-horse race as the actor that was favourite to land the role, Asa Butterfield, is no longer in the running. Apparently it's taken so long to settle on someone because both studios are clashing over who they want to see take up the webshooters: Sony want Holland, and Marvel want Plummer. There's speculation that Butterfield might have messed up his chances by going on Reddit and discussing his potential casting.
So, if it is indeed down to 3 and no more contender emerge, it's safe to assume our new Spidey will either be Tom Holland, Charlie Plummer, or Matthew Lintz. Whoever is chosen, expect an announcement pretty soon because he'll need to get his ass over to the Captain America: Civil War set fairly pronto!
