Cannes Film Festival 2013

Who will be the next Spider-Man?

We breakdown the top candidates and it's not a pretty picture

Chace Crawford

Birthdate: July 18, 1985 - 24
Best Known For: "Gossip Girl," red carpets and replacing Zac Efron in the "Footloose" remake that will never happen.
Qualifications: Young, skinny and popular with girls.
We say: Could be worse.  Certainly a more interesting choice than Efron would ever be and he does look even more like Peter Parker than Maguire did.  He can play goofy right?

  • Would just like to point out that I made the first comment on this article the day the speculation started...and I called it. Logan Lerman.

    Why am I pointing this out? Because I'm NEVER right about this shit. Ever. It's my goddamned time to gloat, goddamnit.

    i think Adam Brody from the OC and Jennifer's Body would be a pretty decent spidey

    A reboot this quick is a bad idea. The last film was 3 years ago, and now rather than moving forward we're going allllll the way back to Peter Parker getting bit by a spider, seeing Uncle Ben die, avenging him, getting all buddy buddy with Harry Osborn, dancing clumsily around Mary Jane, etc etc etc. I'm not saying the first 3 were perfect. I just don't want to see another goddam origin story for Spider-Man all over again.

    I think they should get Zac Efron. He may have made his name is that silly stuff but he can act and he's got a great screen presence.

    Omfg! Don't send spiderman back to highschool. That is the lamest shit I ever heard. Send him to college and pit him up with some bad-ass enemies. I hope this new producer has a fucking heart attack.
