Top Contenders for Spiderman
Inside sources are buzzing that Zac Efron and Joe Jonas are the top contenders to be the next Spiderman, since Tobey Maguire has bowed out of the franchise.
I actually think Efron would be a decent pick for the role, but Joe Jonas? I guess he kinda looks a bit like Ditko’s rendition, but give me a break, I’ve heard him sing, I can only imagine the stinki-tude of his thespian-ic abilities. I always thought Jake Gyllenhal would have been a good choice, but now he may be a bit old for the part, so I guess I’d have no problem with Zac taking over.
One thing about Raimi’s run on Spiderman that completely missed the mark, was the fact that he failed to incorporate any of the humor that was an inherent part of the comic books. I mean, the webbed crusader was damned FUNNY, he’d constantly be cracking wise while battling the evil doers, it was part and parcel to his whole persona. Tobey Maguire played him like a morose zombie. By making Web-head humorless, they cut out the heart of what endeared him to millions of fans. Whomever they pick to play Spidey in the next installment, they’ve got to address the problems of the first three and rectify it by injecting some levity into the proceedings!
