Dylan O'Brien The NEW SPIDER-MAN!?

Quote :

So Dylan O'Brien is pretty much our new Spidey from the look of things. A source tells me he gave Sony the audition of his life, who by the way, absolutely loved what they saw from him. Amy Pascal and team knew they had their Spider-Man.

Sony apparently started leaning towards O'Brien over Lerman when they figured Dylan had a better grasp and feel of the tone they were going for.

Mind you, anything could happen from now until the official announcement, which if not on March 5th, (unlikely) then somewhere in mid-March to early-April.

But nonetheless, there is a tremendously high chance, like a 99.9% percent chance, this will end up becoming official. There's more info down below in the comments, see if you please.

UPDATE: It is official, Dylan has signed on as the new webhead!

Hope it's true! Woop! Woop! The again it's reddit and well, yeah.

One of my family members is going to freak. He's been a big supporter of Dylan O'Brien as Spider-Man WAY before the reboot was even announced or rumored even. That's how I found out about Dylan O'Brien, because of him. Didn't think he was ever going to be Spider-Man though at the time.

I can't say I've ever seen Dylan act in a movie that I've seen. But you two sure do get me excited for it, lol.

Dylan O’Brien Addresses Those SPIDER-MAN Rumors

Quote :

Not too long after Marvel and Sony had announced their new plans for Spider-Man, which entails an all-but-confirmed appearance in Captain America: Civil War before a Spectacular standalone movie, the two names mentioned for the Peter Parker role were Percy Jackson's Logan Lerman and The Maze Runner star Dylan O’Brien. Well, now the latter young actor has finally addressed those reports that he's under consideration for coveted part. “Professionally, I haven’t heard anything about it,” O’Brien told Buzzfeed today while on the set of MTV's Teen Wolf. “I’ve only heard from, like, [rumors] online. It feels so weird to say,” he said, laughing, about not knowing where the rumor originated. “It’s so funny. My friends from New Jersey are calling me. They’re like, what are you not telling me, dude?! Spider-Man?! It makes me feel bad because I’m, like, disappointing a big chunk of fans across the nation. You can tell them that it’s not true.” Even though the rumor isn't true, that certainly doens't mean Dylan O’Brien wouldn't be interested in playing the Webslinger on the big-screen. “It’s nothing but flattering,” he said. “It’s never something I would want to get myself excited about, since I know I haven’t heard about it from a professional standpoint,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to play Peter Parker, obviously. I feel like any actor my age, that’s, like, a big thing. And my name being tossed with Logan Lerman’s is the coolest thing ever, too. I just think that kid is [frick]ing fantastic.” He continued, laughing, “It’s really just, you know, I guess I’ll see if I even hear about it? But thank you, internet, for giving me false hope!”

Mecha's dreams have been crushed.

@yonny616 Not quite. He could be lying for all we know. This happens all the time in Hollywood. When an actor is finally chosen for a role, he has to keep quiet until the studios decide to make it official. But if he's not lying, then there is still the chance for him to audition.

I hope so. I really fucking hope this is another Jason Mamoa/Aquaman situation.

@yonny616 Also Marvel is terrible at keeping secrets. Almost 80% of Marvel rumors turn out to be true.

Let's just hope this doesn't fall into that 20%.

Hey guys, remember all this...

There's rumors going around that publicists are being told not to ask any Spider-Man questions to Dylan O'Brein.

Your taste in news providers is...  questionable.
