[Confirmed to be BS] New spiderman, played by... Zac Efron.

[Wabsta]

HIGH School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron is set for a £9million pay day as he takes on the role of SpiderMan.
Zac Efron will replace Tobey Maguire in the fourth blockbuster movie, due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to hit cinemas in 2012.

Tobey, 34, stunned bosses at Universal Pictures last year when he announced he was quitting the megabucks franchise.

But a studio insider revealed: “After dumping Spidey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role.”

Producers believe the 22-year-old, who has a huge teen following, will bring new fans to the Spider-Man series by playing the reluctant hero and his alter ego Peter Parker.

They are also believed to be considering reuniting Zac with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, 21.

She is hotly tipped to replace Kirsten Dunst, 27, as Spider-Man’s love interest and the source added: “It would be a great coup to land her as well.

“The franchise would be revitalised and transformed by two of Hollywood’s most gifted and fast-rising young stars.”

Source: OK!



Spiderman 1 2 and 3 were great movies imo.
But dude.. replacing toby with this fag?
That's like making a new part of the movie Blade, and replacing Wesley Snipes with that fag vamp from twilight..

Are we sure this is accurate?
I thought Raimi quit, and Sony decided to reboot the franchise and start fresh.
I think the "Source" mentioned in the article, may be just trying get get money for supposed "insider information"

I was talking about this. They claim Tobey quit, and are replacing him for Spiderman 4. At least, that is what I got from the article.
The article implies movie 4, not a reboot. That's what I meant.

 

[Rock Raiyu]

nvm. Why are they calling it Spiderman 4 then if it is a reboot?

Also it would make sense to have Zac Effron to start Peter since apparently they want it so that Peter develops his powers in high school instead of college.

This is bullshit rumours dont believe me read this news article :-

It was also reported that Efron’s girlfriend and High School Musical Star Vanessa Hudgens is set to replace Kirsten Dunst for the role of Mary Jane Watson.

And Mary Jane is a red-head. Oh I wonder how that would've worked out lmao

 

[ProtoKun7]

What is this I don't even

If this was true it would be a crime to humanity

We should've all dressed up as the villains, visited the studios and pull no punches.

 

[Satangel]

WTH? They are true that it will appeal to a new type of audience, but do you really want that new type?
Goddamn, I'm so done with Spidey now.

Saw the title and thought "yeah I wont even download this" saw the source and knew it was bollocks.


The guy playing Kick-Ass (and was also in Nowhere Boy) should be the next Spidey.
