Shortlist revealed for Marvel and Sony’s new Spider-Man

April 23, 2015 by Gary Collinson

It looks like Marvel Studios and Sony have narrowed their search for Spider-Man down to five actors, with The Wrap reporting that Timothee Chamalet (Interstellar), Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Tom Holland (In the Heart of the Sea), Liam James (The Way Way Back) and Asa Butterfield (Hugo) are all on the shortlist for the coveted role.

The site reports that Sony is set to make test offers to several of the young stars and is expected to make its decision on Andrew Garfield’s successor in the next two to three weeks. The wall-crawler will make his Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in next year’s Captain America: Civil War, with the character’s scenes set to be shot in June, and will follow this up in July 2017 with a solo movie, which Drew Goddard (The Cabin in the Woods) is slated to direct.
