Zac Efron as the new Spiderman?

Posted on February 9th, 2010 in Uncategorized by Lily M

It has been announced that High School Musical heartthrob Zac Efron is set for a £9million pay day as he takes on the role of SpiderMan?

This is what it said in OK Magazine. Seriously?

It basically said that Zac Efron will replace Tobey Maguire in the fourth blockbuster movie, due to start shooting later this year and scheduled to hit cinemas in 2012. Tobey, 34, stunned bosses at Universal Pictures last year when he announced he was quitting.

But a studio insider revealed: “After dumping Tobey, Tobey then came to the rescue by recommending that Zac should take over his role.” Producers believe the 22-year-old, will bring new fans to the Spider-Man series by playing the reluctant hero and his alter ego Peter Parker.

I was surprised that they would pick Zac Efron because I have watched the previous Spiderman movies, and thought that they were really good. So I don’t see why Tobey Maguire would want to quit. And Zac Efron? I mean, I am a fan, but as Spiderman? I don’t know how this will work…

Then I turned my attention to the fact that they are also believed to be considering reuniting Zac with his High School Musical co-star Vanessa Hudgens, 21 and replace Kirsten Dunst, 27, as Spider-Man’s love interest.

Well all I can say is, if Vanessa Hudgens gets the role, then I won’t want to see it.
