Can we get a grown man to play Spider-Man for once?


...Or someone that looks like a grown man?

Ew no. Spiderman is suppose to be a teenager. No one wants to see Spidey as a full grown deep voiced 43 year old man. That's not who he is. They went even younger with Miles Morales, who's like 12 and 5 feet 2 inches.

I really like the casting. We'll be able to watch Peter grow until his death.

Actually, in the comics, Spider-Man has been an adult since the 70's.

reply

The very first comic he was in high school wasn't he?

reply

The very first, yes. That was in the early 60s. Then he graduated and went to college and then graduated college and was married for about twenty years. The main comic version has been an adult longer than he’s been a teen but the movies and a lot if the other comic versions of Spidey are often teens.

Ah, I couldn't remember if the first comic was published in the 50s or the 60s.

Tobey Maguire was 25 when he got cast and Andrew Garfield was 27 or 28 when he got cast.

Nicholas Hammond was 27 or 28 as well.

reply

Yup, and Tom Holland is around 20.

reply

Lol! Except all the true Spider-Man comic fans who know Peter was that age for like five seconds in all of his publication history.

Yeah being an adult with a low paying job trying to balance TRUE love, his family and being a superhero is boring.

That being said, Tom will probably do fine and will be an excellent child Petey.
Maybe next reboot we'll get a more mature and experienced Peter.

He looks 13, sounds 13.5. Like any moment his voice will break into a pre-puberty state.

reply

Is he suppose dto be teenager forever?

reply

No true Scotsman, eh? lol.
