We're pretty excited about Marvel and Sony finally casting their new Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe after months of rumors, but how did the studios decide on 19-year-old Tom Holland? Well, according to new reports, Holland blew the producers away in some secret screen-tests with Avengers and MCU stars Robert Downey Jr. and Chris Evans, who he'll appear alongside of in Captain America: Civil War via a cameo role before his own solo reboot film in 2017, directed by Jon Watts.

We're not sure when we'll find out which young actor on a rumored short list of stars will officially be named the new Spider-Man star for Marvel and Sony, but one talent is sharing some great evidence for his case. Should we cat Tom Holland as the new Peter Parker in a solo film and the upcoming MCU project Captain America: Civil War? We can't really say for sure if he's getting the role, but new Instagram videos posted by the actor definitely prove he's at least a great choice for the comic book role.

According to new reports, rumors and possibly some spoilers, Marvel has apparently narrowed its young actors shortlist for the new Spider-Man star down to two names: Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland. One of these actors could become the next Peter Parker, showing up in a cameo for the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Captain America: Civil War, a standalone solo film, and even the next Avengers movie, Infinity War.

We recently reported on an actor short list that Marvel has compiled for casting the role of Spider-Man, a.k.a. Peter Parker in the upcoming Cinematic Universe movies including a standalone film, Captain America: Civil War and other Avengers projects. This list included Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet and Liam James, but given Marvel's history of casting leading actors that weren't on original lists (Captain America, Guardians of the Galaxy, etc), we're not too surprised that Disney XD star Billy Unger might be in the running now! Aside from a social media campaign started by Unger and his fans to get him the role, Marvel might also be promoting this star to frontrunner from the looks of some photos. Read More »
Earlier today, we compiled a list of 5 actors we thought could replace Andrew Garfield as the new Spider-Man after the recent Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios partnership to bring Peter Parker to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, reports are circulating that two of the actors on our list (and many other lists) have allegedly been approached by the studios to read for the part. According to reports, Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman are the top contenders to be cast as Spider-Man in a 2017 stand-alone film and other Marvel Phase 3 films. What do you think of these casting rumors? Find out more below! Read More »
According to a number of sources, after Marvel and Sony decided to team up to bring Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and its Phase 3 movie schedule, Amazing Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield has turned down the opportunity to return as the web-slinging comic book hero. With that in mind, we think that the studios will be looking to replace the actor as soon as possible, especially with a new stand-alone film scheduled for a 2017 release. Rumors suggest that executives want a younger, high school-aged Peter Parker, so who do you think will be cast as Garfield's replacement? Read More »
