Ever since Marvel announced that “Spider-Man” will be a part of their cinematic universe, there has only been one question on everyone’s minds, “Who is going to take up the role of the titular character?”

Earlier in February, news leaked that “The Maze Runner” and “Percy Jackson” stars Dylan O’Brien and Logan Lerman were the frontrunners to play the character. However, after 2 months of stagnant news, The Wrap reported that several up-and-coming actors, Nat Wolff, Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet, and Liam James, amongst others, have been shortlisted to take up the coveted role.

According to The Wrap, multiple sources stated that while Sony Pictures has not offered screen tests to the stars listed above, “they are the strong contenders” as they suit the look that the studio is looking for. The studio is reported to be looking for someone young, as they have plans for the character to return to high school.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios kept mum on the report so far as neither one of them would confirm the news.

Not familiar with the names? Fret not, we’ll give you a brief introduction of each actor:
