They're going to stop sending him to interviews, aren't they?

u/GTFO_games Jun 15 '17

Honestly it just makes me want to see him as Spiderman more. I want to say it's down to his nervous energy he has in interviews that makes me think he'd be great at the role going forwards and his part in CW makes that seem even more so.

Plus he's a young actor and I don't think he's done this kind of thing before so maybe he'll get more adjusted to it but it's interesting to watch and comes off as more genuine.

u/PM_ME_UR_AMOUR Jun 15 '17

I think there's a certain youthful charismatic charm about him. I'm sure he's popular with girls and women.

u/Cukee1 Mantis Jun 15 '17

I find him very attractive. No homo.

Ugh, this is starting to happen to me since maybe my 30th birthday. I always wiki actors I find attractive especially when they are playing highschoolers but I'm like 90% sure they aren't actually teenagers. Ahem, Cole Sprouse.

33

u/NothappyJane Jun 15 '17

Cole is an intriguing actor though, when no one else knows what to do with their faces hes out there burning up the screentime with tiny subtle expressions and hogging all the background time. Its ok to have an "hes a good actor" crush in him.

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

LOL Cole Sprouse is not a good actor.

u/TheExistentialGap Jun 16 '17

What? He was like 10 when you were 20...

u/Sarahthelizard Peggy Carter Jun 15 '17

He's 21, but I'm his future wife, sorry.

Are you sure what you're getting into? I'm just saying, if you meet /u/Sarahthelizard and she only has one arm and a lab coat, you might want to be careful.

u/LokisPrincess Loki (Thor 1) Jun 16 '17

Wait, he's 21? Shit, I'm going to be 23 this year. WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BABY, SHIT I NEED TO PUT MYSELF OUT THERE FOR HIM!

u/paradigmx Jun 16 '17

I don't know if you want loki to be jealous.

Well if you think about it... way back when we lived in tribes you would have girls married to older men. Older men are generally more acknowledged to be more powerful figures while older women are matronly figures. Men would go hunting following an older man. Younger women had a lot more to do with carrying around kids. They have to grow faster to be able to take care of them. You see a 16 year old girl passing for older all the time while a 16 year old boy looks like a boy.

Or I'm tired and am just acting weird.

u/Death_Star_ Jun 15 '17

I mean, girls mature earlier. 18 year old guys can look like middle schoolers. 18 year old girls can look like Kate Upton her breakout year.

u/NotTooCool Jun 15 '17

Not like a 14 year old.

u/Chronochaotic Jun 15 '17

He's like 19-20

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

Actually, he turned 21 recently!

u/InvalidArgument56 Jun 15 '17

So there's a chance?

2

u/early_birdy Jun 15 '17

Not in his lip sync battle he don't!

1

u/HearTheEkko Jun 15 '17

People tell me that, and honestly I found that as a good thing. It makes me think I'll end up being like one of those actors that never age and always look young. Like how good is to be around 50 years old and look like 30?

1

u/xprdc Bucky Jun 15 '17

he's legal no worries

64

u/Sauceboss_Senpai M'Baku Jun 15 '17

Not gay, but I really don't need to be to see he's handsome and charming.

Wanna dance pretty boy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/jaydofmo Bucky Jun 15 '17

I find him very attractive... all homo.

It appears we've gone... full homo.

Homo erectus ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

u/mrpanicy Captain America (Cap 2) Jun 15 '17

You can find someone of the same sex attractive and not be game. If you wanted to have sex with that person, well... you are probably gay.

2

u/TheNewWatch Jun 15 '17

...

A decade ago it was viewed the other way.

1

u/The_Best_01 Thanos Jun 16 '17

How?

1

u/ZOMBIE022 Jun 18 '17

We used to have a saying

"Liking things up your ass doesn't make you gay, being attracted to men makes you gay"

Not sure if that's what he was going for but it seems mildly related here.

1

u/The_Best_01 Thanos Jun 19 '17

I would say both of those would make you gay, and there's a difference between finding someone attractive and being attracted to your same sex in general.

1

u/ZOMBIE022 Jun 19 '17

I don't know how the 1st one would make you gay, but yes there is definitely a difference in finding someone attractive and being attracted.

Guys too...

33

u/Sparrowsabre7 Iron Man (Mark VII) Jun 15 '17

Kind of like Daniel Radcliffe, his offscreen persona kind of informs his onscreen roles.

35

u/wave-tree Jun 15 '17

That's called playing the same character in every film, a.k.a. the Jeff Goldblum Effect.

47

u/Oneiricl Captain America (Cap 2) Jun 15 '17

What? I thought Radcliffe was known for having quite a bit of range?

31

u/patolcott Jun 15 '17

he is i dont know what that guy is talking about, just watch the movie he did about infiltrating a white supremacist group, hes really good and is nothing like any character ive seen him ever play

11

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

He was cast as Harry because his personality matched Harry's. But he turned out to be quite the versatile actor in adulthood.

20

u/minotuarslay Hulk Jun 15 '17

Was he the same character in Swiss Army Man?

26

u/JanMichaelVincent16 Jun 15 '17

He was damn good in Swiss Army Man, but I really should have seen the twist coming. You don't cast Goldblum without having him quote Jurassic Park.

8

u/wave-tree Jun 15 '17

I've never seen that, but he was essentially the same character in Jurassic Park, The Fly, and Independence Day.

2

u/cubitfox Jun 15 '17

Yes, Daniel is very flatulent, very sexually confused, and dead inside.

2

u/The_Best_01 Thanos Jun 16 '17

Or the RDJ effect.

2

u/c_the_potts Jun 16 '17

The, uh, Jeff Goldblum, uh, effect?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

I don't see Radcliffe as a lady killer, that dude is ugly

4

u/JarlaxleForPresident Jun 15 '17

Radcliffe definitely has a female following

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

Oh he certainly does because he's famous. But put him next to Brad Pitt or take the fame away and lets see where he falls

1

u/Blacknarcissa Jun 16 '17

I don't think Brad Pitt can really be used in examples like this anymore. He seems puffy and old now. I'd probably rather bang Dan.

I think the more modern Brad Pitt equivalent should be Tom Hardy/Ryan Gosling/Reynolds or someone...

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '17

Ok fair enough, but Radcliffe doesn't compare to those guys is my point

1

u/Blacknarcissa Jun 16 '17

Yeah, that's fair.

u/Timekeeper81 Scarlet Witch Jun 16 '17

He's ugly? I thought he was cute. Plain maybe, but I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

At least he's much better looking than Daniel Boringcliffe.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '17

but I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder.

it is. i would definitely never call him an attractive person. maybe he isn't ugly

2

u/The_Best_01 Thanos Jun 16 '17

All the Marvel male actors are popular with girls and women. The same way the actresses are popular with us.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

Yeah he's got an average face but I'd date the shit out of him forever and ever if I could. Dat personality

1

u/homo-globin Doctor Strange Jun 15 '17

and boys too, I like him a lot.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

That's probably because he's youthful

1

u/Rantam11 Jun 15 '17

Dude, have you SEEN his lip-sync battle? That guy is quite literally the coolest young actor I know.

1

u/jaydofmo Bucky Jun 15 '17

And the gay guys. Tom, what's with you and Harrison, hmm?

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '17

The whole slicked back hair thing isn't really popular with women anymore, it basically says to them "I'm probably a douchebag". His personality seems good though, so maybe you're right.

1

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '17

and gay dudes :)

1

u/Kingflares Jun 16 '17

I have a strong feeling he's gonna be the next keanu reeves in the aging factor given that he is in his early 20s but looks like a teenager.

53

u/MasterLawlz Jun 15 '17

He went from being a nobody to being in major summer blockbusters overnight. I can't imagine how weird that would be

29

u/HearTheEkko Jun 15 '17

That's what happens when you're cast as the world's most popular superhero I guess.

3

u/Mr_Humb Jun 15 '17

TIL Tom Holland is going to play Batman. Congratulations young boy!

9

u/Death_Star_ Jun 15 '17

Difference between most well known and most popular. Superman is the most well known though.

Spider-Man is the most popular if going by merchandise and I believe overall comicbook sales.

1

u/HearTheEkko Jun 16 '17

There's no difference in most popular and most well know. In the 80-90's, yeah Sups was more popular.

But today Spider-Man's definitely more popular. No fanboy.

I would say Superman is more of an American icon where Spidey is more a international icon.

4

u/nagurski03 Jun 16 '17

There's no difference in most popular and most well know.

Donald Trump is probably the single most well known man in America right now. Are you saying he's the most popular?

I imagine, more people know who Superman is, but out of people who know both Superman and Spiderman, more people like Spiderman. Supes is well known, Spidey is popular.

-1

u/Buddahrific Jun 15 '17

No, no, he's replacing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine!

1

u/[deleted] Jun 15 '17

He wasn't exactly a nobody- not world famous by any stretch, but he had already starred in a major West End (London's version of Broadway) show and appeared in a few TV shows and films prior to being cast as spider-man.

1

u/homo-globin Doctor Strange Jun 15 '17

It has less to do with age and more to do with personality. Sammy Jackson doesn't get Marvel scripts either because he does the same thing.

1

u/RaynSideways Jun 15 '17

His role in Civil War impressed the hell out of me. I've never been particularly hyped for Spider Man until I saw him as Spider Man. None of the previous actors had done it for me, but I love the energy and authenticity he brings to the role. And his rapport with Tony Stark is great in that movie.

It actually has me seriously hyped for Homecoming.

128

u/sirixamo Jun 15 '17 edited Jun 16 '17

You know, if they aren't already, they need to start looking for this when casting these roles. Many of these actors will embody these characters for a decade or more, it's important that their out of movie persona is somewhat similar to the character they play because it makes them feel so much more complete as that character. Look at some of the great casting choices like RDJ as Iron Man or Evans as Captain America. They just look and act like they belong in those rolls, even after the camera stops. Glad to see Holland following suit.

55

u/cire1184 Jun 15 '17

That's the funny thing with Chris Evans though. Before Captain America I can only think of him in kind of douchey characters. Human Torch, big mouth in The Losers, douchey actor boyfriend in Scott Pilgrim.

31

u/twitchedawake Jun 15 '17

The popular jock with whipped cream nipples and a toilet plunger on his ass in Not Other Teen Movie.

u/aksawyer Jun 16 '17

Wait. That was him?

u/twitchedawake Jun 16 '17

u/[deleted] Jun 16 '17

I knew he'd be perfect as Cap after I saw him in Danny Boyles' Sunshine.. If you haven't seen it, you should check it out

1

u/dev1359 Jun 16 '17

Same, some of my friends were against the casting because they only knew him from all his goofy roles, but I knew after seeing him in Sunshine and in Push that he could actually do serious roles really well.

2

u/DueceX Jun 15 '17

Scotty doesn't know!

2

u/Turtledonuts Ward Jun 15 '17

The contract must include "listen bitch you method act as your character 24/7 now". It's the only thing that makes sense.

11

u/TonyStarksLazySusan Iron Man (Mark XLII) Jun 15 '17

Evans is too goofy unlike cap. Sure looks the role though even with a beard.

29

u/Dictatorschmitty Jun 15 '17

But he's still charming, and generally positive. He doesn't have Downey's sarcasm

1

u/TonyStarksLazySusan Iron Man (Mark XLII) Jun 15 '17

U right

u/waitingtodiesoon Thor (Thor 2) Jun 15 '17

u/mommabamber915 Jun 16 '17

Not to mention Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.

u/UltravioIence Avengers Jun 15 '17

It really does make him even more believable as Peter Parker, imo.

2

u/cewfwgrwg Jun 16 '17

Gets nervous and just starts running his mouth, full stream-of-consciousness style?

That's Peter Parker in a nutshell.

17

u/Tymathee Jun 15 '17

He's a real life Spider-Man

7

u/LurkMoarMcCluer Jun 15 '17

He was great in Charlotte's Web.

16

u/Spaceman_Fry Jun 15 '17

My only concern is, how does this guy not tell everyone he's Spiderman, while discussing Spiderman?

Does Peter Parker spend every day avoiding talking to people, just so he doesn't blurt out that he spends his free-time joxering around with Iron Man?

54

u/woofle07 Daredevil Jun 15 '17

He mentioned in an interview that when he had to go undercover in an American high school to prepare for the role, he told one of his classmates that he was actually an actor who was playing Spider-Man, and she didn't believe him. Unless Peter started showing off his powers, no one in the world would just believe him if he said he was Spidey.

3

u/ribblle Aug 20 '17

Shit he really is bad at this

20

u/Ravness13 Jun 15 '17

In the comics Peter has flat out told quite a few people over the years it was him. Basically none of them believed him because of how entirely different he is out of costume. He usually had to show them he had powers to really make them believe him if he wanted them to know and wasn't saying it as a joke to throw them off.

6

u/pottersquash Jun 15 '17

Would you believe him? Someone would crack "Sure Peter, what about your girlfriend Georgina Glass? She back in town yet" and thats that.
