Sony has been searching for an actor to play the new Spider-Man ever since they announced that they would be rebooting the character. Previous reports confirmed that the studio wanted to focus on Peter Parker balancing his life as a high school student while being a superhero. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said the ideal range for the character would be around “15-16” and rumored tests with Weeds star Mateus Ward gave us an idea that they wanted an actor who would be able to truly represent that age.

Now in a new report, Sony is said to have settled on at least five actors. They are: Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothée Chalamet, and Liam James.

In February, Sony announced that it would share Spider-Man with their rivals, Marvel Studios. Though Sony would still retain the rights and creative control, it meant that the webslinger could be seen alongside heroes like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, etc. The deal also says that Marvel won’t pay Sony anything to use the character in their cinematic universe, such as The Avengers movies or Captain America: Civil War, and neither Sony nor Marvel will take a cut of the other studios’ projects involving Spider-Man.

It is expected that Spider-Man may make his MCU debut in Captain America: Civil War. If that is the plan, then casting should be underway since the Captain America sequel is expected to begin filming as soon as the Avengers: Age of Ultron press tour is complete. Dylan O’Brien and Logan Lerman were rumored to be in the running at one point in time, and it was even reported that the reboot may have Miles Morales instead of Peter Parker. But Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige confirms that the new Spider-Man reboot will focus on Parker and that it won’t be an origins story.

Mateus Ward may play Spider-Man

Marvel will be putting their faith in the final acts of Phase 3 on Anthony and Joe Russo. The sibling directors are returning to direct Captain America: Civil War, and are nearly confirmed to helm The Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel’s two-part of Phase 3. But in the midst of all of this is Spider-Man. Now that Sony is willing to share the character with their rival studio, Marvel can now fully integrate the character into the MCU.

Though final creative control of the webslinger will remain with Sony, Marvel will still have some input, and now it looks like they are finally making the first move to introduce an actor to replace Andrew Garfield. The first actor to audition for the role is Weeds star Mateus Ward.
