Asa Butterfield is now one of the best contender to suit up as Spidey in the upcoming "Spider-Man" movie. Marvel and Sony aim to relase the upcoming Spider-Man reboot on July 28, 2017 with "Spider-Man: The New Avenger" as its working title. Plot will take place after the events in "Captain America 3: Civil War."
Asa Butterfield is the new Peter Parker
"Spider-Man" is going to appear in the next Marvel movie that will go into production, "Captain America: Civil War." A "Spider-Man" standalone film is also going to be co-produced by Marvel and Sony.
There were five actors that Marvel was previously searching at to take on the role as the next Peter Parker. They were:
- Nat Wolff ("The Fault in Our Stars")
- Liam James ("The Killing")
- Asa Butterfield ("Ender's Game")
- Tom Holland ("In the Heart of the Sea")
- Timothee Chalamet ("Interstellar")
Among the five, Asa Butterfield reportedly had the role.
Latino Review tried to reach out to Butterfield's representatives and they gave the publication a "no comment" gesture. When Latino Review spoke with other industry sources, these have confirmed and reportedly said, "Mavel had liked him [Butterfield] since day one." This was seen to be a good choice, and as what Forbes also commented, "Obviously, the most important thing here is that Marvel casts a good actor, and Butterfield has proven several times over that he's more than capable in that regard."
"Spider-Man: The New Avenger"
It was also said that Sony seemed to be aiming to use the Avengers in any way that they can to bring fans to the new "Spider-Man" franchise, and previous rumors are saying that it could be titled as "Spider-Man: The New Avenger." If the rumors about Butterfield bagging the lead role turn out to be true, he will be joining the cast in the "Avengers: Age of Ultron" future films.
Peter Parker will make an appearance in "Captain America: Civil War" on May 6, 2016. After that, the co-produced "Spider-Man" solo film hit theaters on July 28, 2017.
An animated "Spider-Man" is also set to show in the big screen that will involve Phil Lord and Chris Miller ("The Lego Movie"), and "The Amazing Spider-Man" producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach.
