Back in April Marvel Latino Review broke the news that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios had set their sites on the next Peter Parker.

Today, they confirm that Asa Butterfield, pictured below, is in final talks to play the newest Peter Parker and will star in the next Spider-Man, rumored to be titled Spider-Man: The New Avenger.

Timothee Chalamet (One and Two, Interstellar), Tom Holland (Locke, The Impossible), Liam James (“Psych,” The Way, Way Back) and Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns) had also been in the running.

According to the site, Butterfield is in final negotiations, and once the contracts are signed an official announcement will be made.

As we stated here, all of the aforementioned names are too old for the role, and this includes Butterfield. At least with Butterfield, we’re getting a seasoned actor.

The new Spider-Man will first appear in Anthony and Joe Russo’s upcoming Captain America: Civil War, which will hit theaters May 6, 2016 and is currently filming. It should come as no surprise that they want to cast this role ASAP.

THEN, and only then will this new Peter Parker swing into action solo on July 28, 2017. Drew Goddard is rumored to direct.
