Soooooo, Spider Man.

So a few days ago, during the height of the Sony hacking scandal, the subject of Spider Man and the rights returning (in part or, more probably, in full) to Marvel and the House of Mouse, in time for Captain America; Civil War.

A brief dig (or rather a long slog), delivered this little nugget onto my screen;

Via Reddit

which, of course, I took with a heavy pinch of salt. But damn my geeky little heart! Because even though this may not come to pass- I LOVE ANTON YELCHIN AND DYLAN O'BRIEN. 

Anton Yelchin (above), Dylan O'Brien (below).

Of course, if IMDb is to be believed, Yelchin was already considered for the role..

 AND if true, made it through to the final auditions. Of the two, I think Yelchin is probably the better choice. For a start O'Brien basically already plays this role on Teen Wolf, and not only can you have too much of a good thing, he is already heavily committed to the show (as one of its leads) and to The Maze Runner movies- of which he is the star. He is a fantastic actor, and if he were to be courted by Marvel, and accept the role, I would be over-the-moon.

But Anton Yelchin has been acting since he was eleven! He has done everything from drama to comedy, sci-fi to action to supernatural. He played Odd in the adaption of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, a film royally screwed over by various financial backers not ponying up the cash. Though not the greatest film ever made, or even the greatest adaption, it told the story in the same spirit of Koontz. It had the same tone, and most importantly Yelchin ROCKED BEING ODD! 

It should have been his franchise launch, and he was robbed of the chance to not only explore the character further, but for the film to even see a theatrical release!

And that's why, out of these two great actors (if indeed Marvel are looking at them as potential Spidey's, and IF either of them are interested..) I would vote for Yelchin. He could pull off a more experienced Peter Parker- say, at college, part timing it at the Daily Bugle- but still be young enough to have the ups and downs of every teenager. 

Plus wouldn't it be a great reunion for a young actor who has already starred beside Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana and Kat Dennings? All of whom have joined the Marvel 'verse? 

The answer is yes! Duh.
