10 Intriguing Casting Rumours About Upcoming Comic Book Movies

2. Dylan O'Brien Is A Favourite For Spider-Man

The Maze Runner and Teen Wolf star leapt to the top of the Most Rumoured list for Spidey not so long ago, joining the likes of Logan Lerman on Sony and Marvel's apparent hit-list. Since then, it seems more likely that the film-makers will go for a much younger actor (he might look teenage, but O'Brien is well into his '20s), but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill regurgitating his name. He has openly admitted that he's had no contact about the role, but he's exactly the kind of rising profile you might expect to draw the attention of blockbuster makers. So you can at least see where the rumours came from. Chances: 1/10 It's more likely that Marvel and Sony will simply cast entirely unknown.
