Director Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) had spent the last few months meeting actors for the as of yet untitled Spider-Man reboot and had narrowed down his wish list to: Jamie Bell, Alden Ehrenreich, Frank Dillane, Josh Hutcherson and Andrew Garfield.
However Bleeding Cool claims that Jamie Bell has definitely been cast as the next Spider-Man. There's been no confirmation as yet from Sony, but we’ll update you as soon as we know.
The new Spider-Man movie will follow a much younger Peter Parker. It’s speculated that the new film will be more realistic and grittier than the previous films and will follow the character as he is portrayed in the Ultimate Spider-Man comic book series (a rebooted Spider-Man mythology with a modern twist).
The original Spider-Man 4 had been due for release in 2011, but director Sam Raimi was unhappy with the script. Script issues and other creative differences meant that film was ditched, along with its stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst.
We rather like the idea of Jamie Bell taking on the role of Spider-Man. He’s clearly an excellent actor (he won a Bafta for Billy Elliott yanno) and has a strong physicality that will translate well to the role.
