 (Yahoo) Everyone second guessing each other in who will land the role of the webslinger. Finally, Columbia Pictures finally released a statement saying that Tobey Maguire will star in the role. This has had many surprised because most people don't picture him as having the "buff" physique that was required for the role. American Beauty player, Wes Bentley, was also a finalist, and believed to be the more viable option because of his build, but Maguire showed up bigger than expected, and apparently looked perfect in the suit. Guess he'd been working hard to get the role.
Maguire has starred in The Ice Storm, Pleasantville, and Wonderboys.
Well after nearly six years in the works, it seems that they're finally moving forward with this, and might pull something decent off. My only beef is that they didn't get someone a bit older, but I didn't follow the comic that closely, and Peter Parker could have very well meant to be that young. |
