Asa Butterfield Cast As ‘Spider-Man': Actor In Talks With Marvel [Report]

It was never a good idea to let Sony keep creative control. Can't have too cooks in the kitchen.

They don't have it breh..they have say on decisions that are made because it's their money but marvel is in the creative driver seat. Obviously when it's your money though, you get some say in decisions that are made

Sounds like Assface Butterfield is out then?

 

[Brandeezy]

So basically Marvel has to get everything approved by Sony when it comes to Spider-Man properties?

Marvel's choice:

Sony's choice:

2nd choice of both studios:

I personally think Sony's choice is the best actor out of the 3.

It's a joint venture. Marvel has creative control but Sony has final say cause it's their money and their production costs meaning both companies have to come to an agreement on specific things like the actors and directors. And Sony may have to sign off on the story but they get no creative input just give the green light to move forward

Their compromise will probably be to go with option 3 since both like him enough to be their second choice.

Today The Wrap's Jeff Sneider reported that the Spider-Man casting shortlist is down to Tom Holland, Matthew Lintz and Charlie Plummer. The site claims that the delay in casting comes down to Sony and Marvel butting heads over which kid is right.

My Sony sources were surprised by that bit of info. According to folks close to the situation there are no heads butting but rather everybody is exhibiting a lot of caution. This is major casting that they can't screw up, and they want the third time they cast Peter Parker to be the charm. It's been an agonizing process for this reason.

What's more, my sources tell me that the shortlist is actually two actors: Tom Holland and Charlie Rowe, whom The Wrap didn't name. Rowe is also an English actor, and he was in The Golden Compass as a child as well as Never Let Me Go. He certainly has the right look, and I understand he has the chops.

We will probably hear the final results soon, but it looks like a) Asa Butterfield is out and b) we'll have another English Peter Parker on our hands.

So apparently they're not butting heads, just being cautious. I'd go with Charlie Rowe

Looks young enough to be in high school and is 5'10.

Holland is 19 but only 5'6.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Rowe is a decent actor...he was in that Red Band Society show that FOXx cancelled with the quickness.
