Who'll really play Peter Parker is it Zac Efron or Rob Pattenson?

I read from an article that Robert Pattinson, the gorgeous British actor is tap to play Peter Parker on the 4th installment of Spider Man, but another news claimed it's Zac Efron. So who you want to see wear a spider gear on the big screen? I think both actors are cute and have different distinction. Zac is super cute and had the most enthralling eyes. Rob has this reputation of enticing teenage girls. So who is who?

Based solely on characters that the actors have played in the past, I think that Zac Efron would be the natural choice. I believe that it would be almost difficult to see Robert Pattinson as Spiderman because he is so readily associated with Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga. Zac Efron is mostly known for his roles in the High School Musical movies and needs to move on to a grown up role and I think that this would be the natural step for him.

I do agree with what you say. Zac looks exactly what stuff expected from superhero like Spiderman. Robert Pattinson is more associated with Edward Cullen and most likely people would not like to see him shifted to a different personality.

Wow - I had not heard of this at all. But then I dont keep up with rumors much. I personally wasn't impressed with 3, but maybe 4 will be better. I will give it a chance. I guess I would prefer Pattinson. He has a more serious disposition. Zac Efron is still in the Disney stage and might need a few more serious roles before I could see him taking on something like this. Rob has the angry vampire down, maybe spiderman will cheer him up like Edward is supposed to be?

Yes, Rob Pattinson is very gorgeous and Zac looks like a baby still. But both guys really deserved to become Peter Parker, it looks like Spider Man 4 will go back to the younger days of Parker that's why Toby, who is a grown up man, is out of the picture.

I particularly don't care for either actor in the role. What happened to Tobey Maguire? But then again, from what my friend said. This is going to be a flashback to his pre-Spiderman days, so maybe Tobey wouldn't be appropriate. I don't understand why they're doing this movie at all. Who wants to know about Spiderman before he was Spiderman? I'm traumatized enough for poor Peter from his flashbacks of high school. I don't think I want to go see an entire movie with him getting bullied.

Based on the press release, Spider Man 4 will going to relate the story of a young Spiderman, I just couldn't understand also why they will doing that. It seems they lacked idea how to do another Spiderman series with those skyscraping ability and all stuff.

Well the Zac Efron one is being viewed as purely a rumour with no real foundation to it at all, other than some journo making it up for a magazine piece. Pattenson would be a fair choice but he is to well known for one character now and so is unlikely to be chosen. The most recent actor to be suggested for the role, and there does appear to be some truth in this, is Logan Lerman whose last movie was "Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief"

Hello! Thanks for a wonderful response. Oh yeah I saw Logan Lerman in The Lightning Thief and he was quite impressive and can really give justice to Spider man.

I would imagine it's probably Zac Efron because the reason they dumped Tobey Maguire was that they were going back to a younger, early teen Spidey and despite playing a perpetual 17-year-old in the Twilight movies, I think Pattinson looks his age (25? 26? I don't feel like looking it up now, he was 24 when the first one came out) or older so I don't think he really works as a 15 or 16 year old.

Yes, I agree that Rob pattenson won't fit anymore to play the young Peter Parker and besides he is already known as Edward Cullen and people might not accept if he would play Spider man considering Breaking Dawn is on the way.

hi jlamela! I would definitely go for "Robert Pattinson". He got charm that every viewer got crazy for especially teens and young ones. I think it'll be good for him (spider man project) so that he will not be attached so much with "Edward Collin" character. I like him because he got natural charisma and I know that he can pull this project perfectly. Zac Efron on the other hand is cute but, I don't see him as Peter Parker. I don't know..lolz... But the guy is very talented I can't deny that. But I'll definitely go for Robert. Because he got me. hahaha! Happy Lotting!

I do agree that Robert Pattinson is super cute and really fit to play a superhero role, but some comments say he might not get the role as he is more identified as Edward Cullen.
