With the Spider-Man franchise going into reboot mode following the departure of Sam Raimi and the hiring of Marc Webb as director, the talk turned to who would slip into Tobey Maguire's Spider-suit to play Peter Parker. It looks like they've locked on a likely candidate Logan Lerman.
Last seen in Percy Jackson And The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, the 18-year-old actor has, according to HitFix's sources, beaten out other possible Parkers including Anthon Yelchin, Jesse Eisenberg and the one name everyone brought up once Webb got the job, (500) Days Of Summer's Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
This new take on the Spidey story will take Peter Parker back to high school to explore more of his tentative early steps and swings.
It's believed that Lerman hasn't entered into a deal yet, so this could change but he's definitely a solid candidate. The film is due in 2012.
