More Young Stars Rumored For Spider-Man Role

In the latest episode of Meet the Movie Press, TheWrap’s Jeff Sneider gave some insight into who some of the young candidates to play the Wall Crawler might be.

The new Spider-Man will make his first appearance in Captain America: Civil War next year. A Spider-Man film co-produced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and Sony’s Amy Pascal is scheduled for release on July 28, 2017.
