Where was that? I missed it.

Also, Dane DeHaan's voice annoys me so much. He may or may not single handedly ruin the movie for me. Other than him it looks great tho.

This movie looks, for lack of a better word.. Amazing.

Just when you thought Emma Stone couldn't be more adorable.

It was.

I watched the first one last night and was surprised how much I liked it. I didn't pay attention to the last bunch of Spider-Man movies because I can't stand Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst but in this one Emma Stone was amazing and I liked the new Peter Parker too.

I want to see this one now but I'll probably wait a few months until Sky are showing it.

After a secretive, all-day screen-testing process Saturday, Marvel is on the verge of choosing the actor who will don the red and blue suit of Spider-Man.

According to sources, six teenage boys tested for the highly sought-after role in Captain America: Civil War and follow-up films, one of the biggest "gets" for a young actor in the film business.

Tom Holland, who appeared as one of Naomi Watts' sons in the acclaimed tsunami drama The Impossible, and Asa Butterfield, the child star from Hugo and Ender's Game, were the best known of the contenders. The other four hopefuls included: Judah Lewis (a relative newbie who will be seen in the Jean Marc-Vallee's fall drama Demolition), Matthew Lintz (who will be seen with Adam Sandler in this summer's Pixels), Charlie Plummer (who had a recurring gig on Boardwalk Empire) and Charlie Rowe (a British actor who appeared on Fox's short-lived Red Band Society).

(Reports that Butterfield had been offered the role were false, as Marvel is only now in the midst of their decision.)

The tests cap off a worldwide search in which the producers looked at over 1,500 boys from around the world, narrowing them down to the final six only in the last two weeks or so.

The actors were flown to Atlanta for the tests; that is where Marvel is currently in production on Civil War, the movie in which the character will be introduced before going on to headline his own hopeful trilogy that will be made by Sony Pictures.

Present for the tests were Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige, former Sony head and now a Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal and Joe and Anthony Russo, the brothers who are directing Civil War.

Marvel and Sony must make a decision very soon due to time constraints, and one factor that could influence the decision is age. In the new movies, Peter Parker, Spider-Man’s alter ego, will be a high school student for the new trilogy, and it is important that an actor convey the character’s teenhood. Butterfield and Holland are both 18, Rowe is 19, while the others could be as low as 14.

A decision is expected to be made early in the week. One source, however, cautioned there is a slim chance that Marvel won’t like any of their choices and could keep looking.

Reps for Marvel and Sony were unavailable for comment.

Did the last movie bomb? I'm surprised they're re-casting so soon.

Like if you're gonna give us a new Spiderman, give us Miles Morales. I don't know how many Peter Parker reboots we need, or at least just keep it as Andrew Garfield.

[Brandon]

I just wanna know if we're ever gonna get Black Cat.

[Jayzero]

I'm real tired of people shitting on the Andrew Garfield series like it was a black spot in Spider-Man's film history, as if the Sam Raimi films weren't corny as shit. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 > Spider-Man 3.

I haven't even seen the new one, but everyone is acting like Spider-Man is back, and it's like, bitch, he didn't go nowhere. Fuck y'all.

[Tarry]

I really enjoyed The Amazing Spider-Man 2, it was a lot of fun. I went to see it twice, lol.

Andrew Garfield was a great Spidey too, perhaps the best after Josh Keaton.

I really don't feel like seeing the new one, even though Spider-Man is my fave. I'm sick of Marvel only doing movies based on him as a kid/teenager/college student. Like Spidey has been an adult my entire life, and it would be so much more interesting to see that on the big screen instead of him as a youngster again.

The dude runs his own tech company in the comics, let's see that instead.

... Or, you know, if you're gonna go down the kid route, give us Miles Morales!
