Spider-Man Having Casting Troubles!?!

Once again the studio is recasting Spider-Man, but this time around Marvel and Sony Spider Man Having Casting Troubles, so who are they casting as Spidey?

Last year the studio was having issues with Dr. Strange with RUMORS of multiple names flying around and reports of deals being eminent. In the end, (Star Treks) Benedict Cumberbatch landed the role of Dr. Stephen Strange, according to IMDB. Unfortunately, it’s been said that Cumberbatch has been removed from the list to play Dr. Strange.

Now that Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are officially done with their Spidey adventures, the studio is back to the drawing board with another but this time two studios are trying to come to terms on who will be Spider-Man. It appears Marvel and Sony are NOT seeing eye-to-eye, and it’s bound to be a mess.

A few weeks back we got a report that Asa Butterfield was a lock and was in contract negotiations. Now he seems to be out of the picture all together.

Then on Thursday, The Walking Dead actor Chandler Riggs posted an image to twitter along with saying “good luck to whoever lands Spider Man role – it would’ve been awesome for me!”

Check out what he posted on Twitter:

Obviously the original report of Butterfield’s casting was wrong or got derailed. Then yesterday word got out from Jeff Sneider (The Wrap) while on Meet The Movie Press that the list was down to three: Tom Holland (Wolf Hall), Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), and Matthew Lintz (Kill the Messenger). But Marvel and Sony were divided as Marvel wanted Plummer and Sony wanted Holland… which has to make Lintz feel great.

Then later in the day, Birth Movies Death reported from their source at Sony that there is no conflict with Marvel over the casting and the short list is only two names… Tom Holland and Charlie Rowe (The Golden Compass).

That is the latest as of Saturday morning.

A mess, right?

Spider-Man is set for release on July 28, 2017.

FYI: Filming of Captain America: Civil War has begun and Spider-Man is said to make his debut there. So the odds are we’ll get an actual casting announcement soon.

Thoughts?
