Five young actors caught in casting web.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have reportedly narrowed down a shortlist of potential actors to slip into the red onesie as the latest incarnation of Spider-Man. The contenders include Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars), Asa Butterfield (Ender’s Game), Tom Holland (The Impossible), Timothee Chalamet (Interstellar) and Liam James (The Way, Way Back), according to The Wrap.
Sony is set to make test offers next week and are expected to select a winner in the next few weeks. While none of these five actors yet have test offers, sources have confirmed they are definitely in contention for the part.
The character, who recently became available to Marvel in an unprecedented joint-custody agreement with Sony, is expected to make his debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe with next year’s Captain America: Civil War, which begins shooting in June. If the casting timetable plays out as expected, a new Spidey should be suited up and ready to swing right into the sequel as production commences.
