HitFix reports that teenage actor Logan Lerman, star of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, is now the "frontrunner" to play the new Peter Parker for director Marc Webb in the Untitled Spider-Man RebootThe site's production source claims "Lerman is 'almost 100% locked' but not in contract negotiations for the role yet."
Lerman acknowledged in February that he was in the running to replace the big screen's previous wall-crawler, Tobey Maguire.
Other rumored contenders for the role are Anton Yelchin, Jesse Eisenberg, Patrick Fugit and Johnny Simmons.
Update:Once again.Sony Pictures has issued an official denial and Deadline reports that "insiders at Sony... were very definitive in denying the story, and were sure that Lerman was 100% not going to be Spidey and that he is not on the list of candidates being seriously considered."
HitFix says it's standing by its source and story.
Stay Tuned...
