Seems over the weekend many sites were saying that Logan Lerman as all but a lock for the role of Peter Parker in Sony’s Spider-man reboot. Apparently he was in talks and all that was left was to put pen to ink and it was a done deal.
Oops. Guess he wasn’t that close. Or even considered. At least that’s the story Sony is going with.
Well now according to Deadline Sony has denied Lerman’s involvement again, saying that he isn’t even being considered.
…insiders at Sony say that the young actor is not getting the role. In fact, these sources were very definitive in denying the story, and were sure that Lerman was 100% not going to be Spidey and that he is not on the list of candidates being seriously considered.
While sometimes this stern denial is just a ploy to hide the fact that the story was leaked before they wanted it to come out, but it looks like this is the real deal.
The Logan Lerman rumour was just that. Stemmed from his comments that he would love to play it and may even talked to his agent about pursuing it. But right now it looks like he isn’t even being considered.
Shame. I was cool with the idea that he would play Parker.
Makes me wonder who they ARE considering. If anyone just yet.
