Patrick Fugit Rumored to Take on Spider-Man, Replace Tobey Maguire

Spider-Man 4 and 5 are rumored to be in the works, however, it’s being reported that Tobey Maguire will likely not return for additional installments of Spider-Man. Who will replace Tobey Maguire? Almost Famous star Patrick Fugit is the rumored golden boy that would play Peter Parker/Spider Man, although no offers have yet been made.
Patrick Fugit has also been in Spun and Wristcutters. Do you think he could take on Peter Parker/Spider Man? He certainly has the right look and is a good actor, so this seems like an ideal choice.
The Spider-Man producers are also rumored to be considering Michael Angarano, who has appeared in Lords of Dogtown, Sky High and The Forbidden Kingdom. To me, he’ll always be Jack’s son on Will & Grace. Michael Angarano played the younger version of Tobey Maguire’s character, Red Pollard, in Seabiscuit.
Then again, many are guessing/hoping that the allure of the big bucks will bring Tobey Maguire back to the role. Time will tell.
