Asa Butterfield Is The New Spider-Man?

No Comments

So we have a new round of drama circling the new Spider-Man casting! A while ago, you must have heard that Marvel and Sony have shortlisted five actors for the web-slinger's role. Then, we came to know that they picked two from the list - Asa Butterfield and Tom Holland - for auditioning.

Now, there's a new rumor put forward by Latino-Review's El Mayimbe suggesting that Ender's Game star Asa Butterfield has moved away ahead of the actor in the race for the new Spider-Man's role! According to the correspondent, Marvel is in negotiations with the 18-year-old actor's representatives and an official confirmation is just a matter of time!

Don't forget that there was another correspondent from the same site who claimed last month that Asa Butterfield is the frontrunner for the role. Check out the Instagram post of El-Mayimbe before we move towards the follow-up drama!

No Spider-Man Offer Yet, But"¦!

Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter correspondent Borys Kit claims via his Twitter account that his sources have denied the reality of any such offers. Asa Butterfield hasn't received any kind of an offer yet. However, the correspondent added that there is indeed a big section of people in Marvel and Sony who want the actor to play the next Spider-Man. (continued to page 2)

Wait! They Loved Tom Holland!

Tom Holland is still in the race!

More recently, Variety correspondent Justin Kroll suggests that the negotiations could be for a test contract before Asa comes in to audition. In the same tweet, Devin Faraci of Badass Digest comments that Tom Holland went through the procedure already and that the studios have liked him as well!

It's hard to suggest what you should believe. I think that, as Captain America: Civil War has already kicked off filming, we may get introduced officially by Marvel and Sony to our new Spider-Man - either it be Asa or Tom – within a month. I still strongly believe that Civil War will introduce Spidey! What do you think though?
