Dylan O’Brien
Dylan O’Brien is an obvious (and fantastic) choice for Marvel’s Spider-Man. The Teen Wolf star is the perfect combination of nerdy brilliance and action hero. O’Brien may have some scheduling conflicts with playing the lead role in teen post-apocalyptic movie series, The Maze Runner. O’Brein is the king of witty remarks, which will make him perfect for Spidey.

Logan Lerman
From socially awkward in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, to playing a demigod with superpowers in Percy Jackson & The Olympians, Logan Lerman has what is takes to don the spidey-suit. Lerman excelled in the teen roles for years, but this year in Fury he proved that he can move into an adult role.
—
Ansel Elgort
Nice-guy Ansel Elgort is another great choice for Spider-Man. The Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars actor has a loveable, good-guy persona that is very popular with teens, and is very fitting for Peter Parker.
—
Alfred Enoch
It’s unrealistic that the star of How To Get Away With Murder, Alfred Enoch, will to take on the role of Peter Parker, but it is an interesting idea. He’s cute, sweet, and a little nerdy which is perfect for Parker. He’s also fit, and looks built for swinging from buildings.

Miles Teller
Miles Teller would be incredible as Spider-Man. Coming up to 28, Teller is getting a little old to pass for a high school kid, but Hollywood is famous for ignoring age. After his recent performance in Whiplash, Teller has proven how intense an actor he can be. Awkwardly charming and funny, mixed with the passion and ferocity to take down the bad-guys, Teller has it all.

Freddie Highmore
Freddie Highmore was one of the best child-actors of his generation, starring in hits like Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and August Rush. Highmore then took a drastically more mature role as a young Norman Bates in Bates Motel. Highmore has shown the versatility to takes to play Peter Parker/ Spider-Man.
