“If he didn’t already capture the spirit of the character, with that on top the kid is Spider-Man.” Watts, whose current film, Cop Car, has drawn positive reviews, described Billy Elliot the Musical star Holland as “pretty perfect” for the role. “There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben,” he said. Watts also confirmed that studios Sony and Marvel, which are teaming up for the new film, would try to break new ground rather than revisiting classic Spider-Man origins tale episodes. Holland is just 19, so would have the potential to star in a series of high-school-set Spider-Man films. Andrew Garfield was 28 in 2012 when The Amazing Spider-Man was released, and 30 last year for its sequel, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which saw the superhero reach college age. Tobey Maguire, who played Spider-Man/Peter Parker in three films for Sam Raimi between 20, was 27 when he first played the character as an older high-school student.
