Robert Pattinson Not Playing Spider-Man

Posted by Adam

Robert PattinsonBAD news, dear readers: Robert Pattinson won’t be slipping into a tight Lycra suit to play Spider-Man — despite recent reports to the contrary.

After Tobey Maguire — who has portrayed the titular character and his alter-ego Peter Parker for the past three movies — quit the franchise, it was claimed Pattinson would be stepping in to replace him for the fourth installment.

But, as Gossip Cop notes, Pattinson won’t be taking on the coveted role — he’s too busy.

The British actor, 23, is committed to a hectic upcoming slate that includes Bel Ami, Unbound Captives, and a potential Breaking Dawn production.

Sony Pictures, who are making Spider-4, have insisted the project will still go ahead but will now be released in 2012, instead of next year as previously planned.

It is thought they will now make a prequel about Peter Parker as a teenager instead, meaning Kirsten Dunst – who played love interest Mary Jane Watson — will also not return.

    LOL. Thank God the sparkly douchebag, foot looking vampire robert pattinson (I’m aware I did not include capitals in his name, simply does not deserve that kind of respect) Is NOT playing Peter Parker/Spiderman. It couldn’t be done with anyone but Tobey. If the producers/writing cast are indeed pursuing the plot of Peter as a teenager we would be in for some interesting stories, if they do keep inline with Marvel and don’t “Movie” it up too much

    Thank god, it would have been worse than Spiderman 3 if he was Peter Parker.

    We need an unknown to play Peter Parker. Spidey wears a mask so why blow the budget on a big name star?
