Deadline New York is reporting that Sony is now saying that Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson & the Olympians: Lightning Thief) is not going to be Peter Parker in the much talked about Untitled Spider-Man Reboot.

According to to insiders, Lerman is not going to get the role. Deadline New York even goes on to say that:

"In fact, these sources were very definitive in denying the story, and were sure that Lerman was 100% not going to be Spidey and that he is not on the list of candidates being seriously considered."


We reported on Sunday (via HitFlix) that Lerman was "almost 100% locked" for the role.

With these new announcements the casting still remains a mystery. When we have more information we will post it accordingly.

The Amazing Spider-Man comes to theaters July 3rd, 2012 and stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans, Martin Sheen, Denis Leary, Chris Zylka, Irrfan Khan, C. Thomas Howell. The film is directed by Marc Webb.

    That's what personal trainers are for. Do you honestly think Tobey Maguire was ripped before he was Spider-Man?

    He's a good actor Cripple, but he's not built enough.

    Hmm...I wonder how someone like Mark Indelicato (Ugly Betty) would do in this role. He's definitely the right age.

    Hey, Movieweb... I heard from an undisclosed source, at some random a$$ nonfact checking website, that Samuel L. Jackson is actaully locked into the teen Peter Parker role... along with every other movie coming out in the next decade. Please post immediately.

    jameslev, get real. The kid just wants to be on the cover of the latest teen magazine. It doesn't matter how he gets there. You're infusing your love of the webbed one, into his psyche. He doesn't have one. This pic ic probably from his own portfolio, and doesn't have anything to do with Spidey.

    Well, the rumors have only been about this guy @ejk. Just over and over. Lol.

    Well, he could have worked, but I wasn't cheering him on all the way. I still wanted Joseph Gordon Levitt, still do. If only they got him back in 2005 (Brick). that would have been perfect.

    Whether it's Lerman or anyone else will not matter if they don't have the right story, but they better decide on someone soon. Personally, I'm getting tired of the rumors.
