It looks like this will finally be the week we learn who is playing the new Spider-Man! According to a new report, six young actors have been screen testing in Atlanta today as Captain America: Civil War continues shooting in the city. Whoever is chosen for the coveted role will make their MCU debut in that next year.
Well known actors Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game) and Tom Holland (The Impossible) were among those testing today, but joining them were four little known stars who are hoping to be the next Peter Parker.
Those were Judah Lewis (an unknown who will soon be seen in Jean Marc-Vallee’s Demolition), Matthew Lintz (Pixels), Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), and British actor Charlie Rowe (Red Band Society).
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel has considered over 1500 youngsters around the world for the role of Spider-Man, but it’s only been narrowed down to these six in the last two weeks. Sources say Marvel might change their mind and keep looking, but it now appears as if one of these actors will land the role.
Present for the tests were Kevin Feige, Sony’s Amy Pascal, and Civil War’s Joe and Anthony Russo.
