Now that Spider-Man is a part of Marvel's cinematic universe, we are going to see our third different actor to be Spider-Man. First it was Tobey Maguire in the Spider-Man trilogy, then Andrew Garfield became the new face with the two The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
Garfield was a great fit for Peter Parker but unfortunately, the decisions Sony made around him were not going to make it work. Marvel and Sony should begin looking for their next Spider-Man shortly, if they haven't already, and I thought I would help them out.
Here are Five Possible Spider-Man Actors that would be great additions to the MCU.
Taron Egerton
Taron Egerton is about to erupt based on early reviews for Kingsman: The Secret Service, which premieres in theaters this Friday. He has not been in much but he definitely has the looks and it sounds like he has the talent to carry his own franchise. He is only 25 so he has the ability to play the character for many years to come, which is exactly what Marvel needs.
Jack O'Connell
Jack O'Connell was the star of Angelina Jolie's Unbroken this winter, and while it only made $157 million worldwide, O'Connell's performance was good according to most reviews. He is 24 but has been in movies since he was 16. He should be a contender for the role of Peter Parker.
Zac Efron
Back in May, it was reported that Marvel was interested in Efron for an unknown role. At the time, the role of Spider-Man was not available but now that it is, Marvel and Efron might kick the tires again. Efron has blown up lately thanks to Neighbors, and Sony has already green-lit a sequel. Efron also has history with Disney thanks to his days as Troy Bolton in High School Musical. Both companies are familiar with him and he has the looks and star power to certainly draw in a crowd. Efron is still only 27 so he would have many years left in him to be Peter Parker.
Logan Lerman
Logan Lerman starred opposite of Brad Pitt in last year's war film Fury. He is only 23 but has already led his own franchise with the Percy Jackson movies. Lerman's performance in Fury was raved about by all and I think that he would make an excellent Peter Parker should Marvel and Sony go that route.
Dylan O'Brien
Dylan O'Brien may be the fan favorite to be the next Peter Parker. He has the looks and has already started leading his own franchise with The Maze Runner. O'Brien is also only 23 but his obligations to The Maze Runner franchise could pose some trouble.
