The whole point behind the fans wanting spidey RIGHT NOW is because of his involvement in civil war..he HAS to be young for it to work right because it's not believable for a 30 year old man to be getting taken advantage of by people close to his age. He's gotta be the 'little brother' of the whole set up in appearance and mind.

But he wasn't young during the civil war. He was an adult with a wife and bills. He just drunk tony starks kool-aid because stark is a billionaire on top of the world who sold him on registration and made him the poster boy for it.

He was really weird to me in Enders Game and I didnt care for him all that much. Hopefully he grows up a bit more. Garfield was perfect IMO they should have stuck with him. Didnt Spidey have a wife and kids in Civil War?

Spidey wasn't that young during the civil war was he?

No he wasn't that young but they are rebooting civil war to coincide with the MCU from what I understand.

And if they want to include him AND have some longevity with this incarnation of the character he can't be :flabbynsick: by the time the ball gets rolling.

He was grown bruh. Stop it. Wasn't he married or engaged to Mary Jane during the civil war?

I just said they are rebooting civil war breh,

The high school angle may not be what you want but it makes plenty of sense.

How Sway? It doesn't even make sense for a new spiderman reboot movie so how does it make sense for the already established Avengers?

Spiderman needs to be younger, but not high school young. He's gonna look so out of place.

So a whole three pages and no one's talked about the update to the main story?

THR’s Borys Kit however, claims that his insiders inform him that there’s no offer just quite yet but a lot of people at Marvel and Sony like him. He explains that Asa was coming in to test this week, but that others were too.

Update: Others (including Variety) have chimed in claiming that the negotiations could be for a test contract before Butterfield comes in to audition. Tom Holland already went through this process a few weeks ago and “they” loved him too.

Appreciate the update @MartyMcFly.
not really up on the actors work if he's chosen but if the ppl at marvel like then:ehh:. they have more invested than my $20 Movie ticket. Will be interesting to see the dynamic between Cap, Stark and a snarky kid they gotta respect off of gift & intellegence

I've just never seen him be funny lol...that's my thing. I've never seen him be snarky in anything. He can act his ass off but I've never seen him be anything other than dour but I also know that doesn't mean he can't pull it off; that's what screen tests are for. I'd prefer one of the other cats but Sony/Marvel seem to have a hard on for him so :whoknows:
