If Marvel Studios gets its way, Andrew Garfield will be out, and a new actor will be cast as Spider-Man for Captain America: Civil War.

Per the rumors, Marvel plans on skipping the origin story and going with more of a teenage-angst approach to Spider-Man.

We could then see this actor in a new standalone Spider-Man movie as early as 2017.

With that said, here are five possible actors that Marvel could use to become the new Spider-Man (in no particular order).

Update: It’s official: Spider-Man will be featured as part of the MCU.

The 23-year-old actor also stated he would like to play Spider-Man: “…kinda nerdy dude in high school, then he gets to be a superhero running around new york city, doing spider webs and stuff… that’s basically my entire dream as a human being.. i like wanna be Peter Parker.” Seems we are not the only who thinks O’Brien could play Spidey:
