Yesterday saw five names surface to potentially play the new Spider-Man with 20-year-old Nat Wolff listed amongst them.
Now the Kingpin himself, Vincent D’Onofrio, has declared that Wolff should play Spider-Man.
Wolff and D’Onofrio appear together in the upcoming film, In Dubious Battle, which also stars James Franco, Bryan Cranston, Selena Gomez, Josh Hutcherson and Ed Harris.
“Joe … Nat Wolff would be my choice for spidey! Check him out. @natandalex brilliant young actor,” Daredevil‘s Wilson Fisk tweeted to Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada.
“NAT WOLFF @natandalex should be SPIDEY,” D’Onofrio tweeted a second time. “Marvel knows best though they are batting 1000. I think Nat is perfect.”
The four other actors said to be up for Spider-Man are: Asa Butterfield, Tom Holland, Timothee Chalamet and Liam James.
The new Spider-Man will debut in a Marvel movie prior to the new standalone Spidey movie from Sony in 2017.
Marvel has also recently announced a Daredevil Season 2.
