New Spider-Man Casting Finalist

New Spider-Man Casting Finalist

Written by Huzaifa Khan on June 15, 2015.

Recently, we reported that the casting for the upcoming role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been narrowed down to three finalists, with Marvel and Sony at odds over their pick of the bunch. Well today, if reports are to be believed, it looks as if another actor has joined the race, and eliminated most competition as well.

Now, if you weren't paying attention over the weekend, here's a quick recap. Marvel & Sony had picked their actors to portray the role, with Marvel siding with Charlie Plummer, and Sony with Tom Holland. Both these actors are incredibly young, which fits the bill of what the studios are trying to aim for. But now, according to Birth Movies Death, another name has entered the race that wasn't previously heard of, that being Charlie Rowe.

For those of you not familiar with his work, don't be offended, most of us really aren't. His main credits would fall to movies such as The Golden Compass and Never Let Me Go. Below is a video which includes some of the actors work over the years, take a look!

BDM is reporting that, unlike previously mentioned, the race is now down to Tom Holland and Charlie Rowe. Both studios see great potential and talent in Holland, but with the inclusion of Rowe, does the race simply become bogus? Only time will tell. The announcement may come soon though, as the famous web-slinger is heavily rumoured to appear in next summer's Captain America: Civil War, so casting for the role must come quick, as the movie is already halfway through production.

For all things webbed and super, keep it parked at KhanFlix.
