Okay, someone got the bright idea to push for Robert Pattinson as the replacement for Tobey Maguire in the upcoming Spider-Man franchise reboot. No.
Also mentioned at the above link is Michael Cera. Fuck, no.
If anyone is well-suited to take over this role, it’s gotta be Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He might technically be a bit too old for a high-school Spidey, but who else you got?

Shia Labeouf. Though I do love the thought of JGL shootin’ some web.
You know who would have been a cool spidey? Ryan Reynolds. I haven’t seen his Deadpool, but liked his Hannibal King.
We’re a little past RR since he’s getting old, married to Scarjo, and perhaps a little too good looking for Spiderman. But get some charming, ripped, not too pretty in the face, smart-ass actor–even if relatively unknown. Do not make that shit take place in Prequel land.
Perhaps teens spend more money at the movies for less-than-zero effort flicks, but Spidey is smart talking. The Amazing Spiderman can be edgy. Spiderman 2099 would be a better route at this point. Whoever is writing the next one should think about Spiderman versus the Hulk.
If there is going to be a romantic storyline, put it far in the background. Meryl Streep and Amy Adams have strong careers going. Leave that shit to them. Make a goddamn Superhero Spiderman movie for once. The closest we’ve got is that Doc Ock death scene, but even that is a little hokey because fucking Mary Jane ruins it.
And what kind of a waste was Green Goblin. You couldn’t have picked a better actor. He was not the evil mastermind he should have been.
But really, all I really care about is who they’re putting behind the upcoming Lobo.
