Is Josh Hutcherson the new Spider-Man?


The rumor mill is running wild on this!

Apparently Josh Hutcherson is the new Spidey.

Your friendly, rebooted Spider-Man in the flesh. Word from my Bothans is that Sony has settled on "Journey to the Center of the Earth's" Josh Hutcherson as the newly, high school bound Peter Parker. After several extensive test shoots were performed, Marc Webb and the top Sony $uits decided that Hutcherson was the right fit for the role and an offer was made and has been accepted. Now I wonder who'll be cast as the Lizard? Whoops, I mean, the villain...

Cinematical reports:
I imagine the rumor mill will dub each and every one of the final five (no wait -- final seven!) contenders "the new Spider-Man!" before we actually have a confirmation of who really is the new webslinger. So, a few weeks after hearing that Jamie Bell was really and truly Spider-Man, now Blue Sky Disney says Josh Hutcherson is the once and rebooted Peter Parker.

EW.com also reports:

The rumor that Josh Hutcherson is going to be your next friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has been stirring the Internet into a frenzy. But is the rumor true? Sony Pictures isn’t commenting, but sources seem to indicate that Hutcherson, 17, is the guy for the job. He’s screen-tested for the role, along with a plethora of young up-and-comers, including Jamie Bell and Aaron Johnson. But his name is the one that keeps on coming around.

Hutcherson has been acting for the past decade and is getting noticed for his role opposite Annette Bening and Julianne Moore in the indie film The Kids Are All Right, which opens June 9.

Is he the one? We will find out soon.
