A report
on Blue Sky Disney has Josh
Hutcherson signed, sealed and delivered for the role of Peter Parker in
the new Spider-Man
reboot.
Hutcherson has recently confirmed what we all knew – that he had
extensively screen tested for the role.
But not so fast. I have sources that
cast some doubt on this. At the very least Hutcherson has not yet been offered the part. He very well
could still get the offer (although some of my sources have placed
doubt on this), but as of this morning there was no solid
casting of Hutcherson.
I’ve heard rumors that Hutcherson is a
favorite for the role of Cyclops in X-Men: First Class,
but I can’t verify that at the moment. Between Hutcherson and Michael
Fassbender, it’s interesting seeing how much overlap there may be in the
casting of these two Marvel projects.
In the meantime I wouldn’t expect to
find out who our new Spidey is for sure until Comic Con. Or until a
massive leak forces Sony’s hand.

This kid doesn't bother me, but I think he is wrong for parker, he is too square jawed, more of a Flash Thompson, Eddie Brock type. Does not have the look. And what the fuck is Blue Sky Disney?
Oh my God Ditko is all aobut the square-jaws. Think he'd do great, based on no other compliant information ;D
I don't mind the guy/kid either but BOY the fandom is ANGRY
Peter Parker is a joker, that's something the original casting of Maguire missed, and something this kid is also missing. We need Shia LaBacon from like 8 years ago.
Words cannot describe how apathetic I am towards this project.
I'm starting to quietly hope that both the Spidey and X-Men franchises fall to pieces so that Marvel/Disney can resurrect them years down the line.
I thought Aaron Johnson had young Cyclops all sewn up?
#6 it's being rebooted, thank God, because Sam Raimi killed the franchise with one of the worst comic book films of all time, not to mention the leads were horrible, capiche? On the subject of this Hutcherson dude…..no. Just nope. He's not Peter Parker, period. More harry Osbourne if anything at all. (and he's even worse for Cyclops. this kid a gallant leader? Please) Clearly and inarguably the best on the list is Andrew Garfield. Handsome in an unassuming way, vulnerable, could successfully transition from kid with low self esteem to hero, has a certain wise ass quality, and most importantly the inherent goodness to make him believable as that hero. If you saw Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassuss you saw that he stole that film right out from under everyone. He's the best actor by far on the list,a side from maybe Jamie Bell, who is excellent but not quite Parker. Actually I think Bell would make an AMAZING Harry Osbourne, he's got the chops to play the duality and the inherent darkness.
Will the mask fit over his chin? And if it did, wouldn't the public recognize the largest jaw in New York city and blow his secret identity?
He looks like the kid that would bully Peter Parker.
AARON JOHNSON = SCOTT SUMMERS
TABRETT BETHELL = EMMA FROST
MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD = JEAN
When did Pete Parker inherit mongoloid powers?
I'm all for him as Cyclops. There is a douchiness to Huterson's acting that would work for Cyclops but not for Spiderman. Ever role I've seen him in he strikes me as a bit of an asshole, and you have to have some sympathy for Spidey. Then again, I think this whole reboot is an awful idea, and the studio is going to faceplant on this no matter whom they cast.
Andrew Garfield lol lol lol (?)
I lose a little faith in humanity whenever I read the comments section on this website. I hope this is not the next generation of film buffs or we are in bad trouble.
P.S. Raimi's Spider-Man movies are some of the strongest super hero films ever made.
Hasn't that Garfield bloke got the role?
Two days after the Garfield news, and THIS story is still being highlighted on the front page too? This entire article is old news that ended up not really being news to begin with.
