Logan Lerman, 18-year-old star of the upcoming Percy Jackson movie, recently told Access Hollywood that he’s in “early talks” to star in the upcoming Marc Webb Spider-Man reboot. Lerman is a former child actor who’s been working since a young age, who, according to his bio, told his parents he wanted to be an actor at the age of two and half. And for some reason they put more stock in this statement than when he told them he wanted to pee pee on the dog.
“It’s one of my favorite characters ever and I’m a huge fan of the series,” Lerman continued. “I’d love to have more conversations about it. I’m definitely very interested in it.”
The “Percy Jackson” star explained that the interest in him playing Spider-Man was “vice versa,” and that both he and the studio have expressed interest.
“It’s just, you know, conversations are starting. It’s a long process with the studio and the producers and everything. But it’s definitely a project that I’m really interested in,” he told Billy Bush. “I’d love to focus on the human element a little bit more. It’d be such a fun experience.” [via LatinoReview]
So there you have it, he’s either a candidate for the next Spider-Man or knows just how to get his name in the press a week before his movie comes out. But whatever the case, I really hope he does get a chance to, you know, focus more on the human element. I think he’s been typecast for most of his career, and I’m really excited about seeing him demonstrate his range, and really get more of that insight into the human condition. With a role in Spider-Man.

Did Paul Reiser grow a beard?
How the hell am I supposed to make a Twilight joke about this? We’re still doing that right? Making fun of Twilight?
Should I go for a SATC joke instead?
oh hosana a new post.
Percy Jackson is the only kid that deserved to get beaten by Joe Jackson.
Responded Bush, “Outstanding, and to our friends reading along in closed captioning, Spiderman is not a Jew movie.”
I was going to name my unborn child Logan Lerman but decided I’d rather it not get the shit kicked out of it.
Yeah, but when is he coming out with a line of lingerie?
You know what, I’ve decided not to complain about the casting of the new Spidey so long as the actor’s last name isn’t “Jonas”.
That still leaves the door open for Kevin, Peet. He just got married. Don’t chicks change their last name when they get hitched?
New SpiderMan must have a Disney haircut, or else.
“focus on the human element”
So . . . Kirsten Dunst ain’t in it?
New SpiderMan must also focus less on heroics and more on making his new album and getting his own show.
@keyHo–yeah, give your kid a more masculine name. Sadly, “Percy Jackson” qualifies.
I asked my 2 1/2 year old what profession she would choose other than her own. But that was in the context of asking her all of Lipton’s questions from the end of Inside the Actors Studio. Her favorite curse word is Mommy.
Is the Human element on the periodic table? Is the Human Element Blood? From my periodic element? I’m way the fuck confused here.
The chick on the left would look good in some Ooh! La La lingerie. I mean, inappropriately-sexy childrens wear.
Logan LermanThurman Merman would be perfect as the new Spider-Man!HosweK, It’s actually going to be a girl. Percy Jackson is only slightly more feminine than the name we have picked out for her.
Permmin’ Lerman looks like a fruit loop
It is totally wrong to let your children realize their dreams. When I was two I wanted to be a spaceship but you don’t see me galavanting around the solar system do you? Because daddy cared enough to tell me I was a retard and to push me into a pile of dog shit, that’s why!
Percy Jacks on playing cards.
I have no interest in graphic novels (smirk), comics, comic book movies, or Spiderman, so it’s not hard to understand why I have no idea who the guy on the right is, but doesn’t that look like a sorta fat version of Billy from Six Feet?
Depends Al, is he choking on a dick?
I long for a simpler time. Namely 1997-2000, the era between Batman & Robin and X-Men when conventional studio wisdom dictated that comic book movies were box office poison and should be avoided.
Al. Yes it does. I think that guy ate Billy.
“It’s one of my favorite characters ever and I’m a huge fan of the series,”
I looked him up on imdb to make a joke that he’s too young to know that Spidey was a comic before it was a movie (he was 10 when the first one came out) only to find that he once played a character named “Robin Sparrow”. So there’s that.
he once played a character named “Robin Sparrow”. So there’s that.
I expect in the next ten years, he’ll play a character named Robin Swallow.
I expect in the next ten years Noah Cyrus will star in a film with the title “National Lampoon’s…” or “American Pie Presents:…” either way, the title will end with “based on the novel “Push” by Sapphire.”
Wow, two posts in a row featuring children infected with AIDS…
The best thing about Spier-Man is his human abilities. I can’t wait to see them on display!
Hey Fek! Did’ja get that thing I sent ya?
Did you send Fek crabs, too?!?!
Nah, I got those from him. If you gave them to him I guess I should blame you.
I got crabs from the fish monger at the Farmers Market. :(
In Louisiana, they are crotch crawfish.
I gotta crotch mudshark at the Edgewater Hotel.
When I fingerblast the girlfriend I fiddler crabs.
When I banged that old mountain man in his cabin in the woods, I got hermit crabs.
When I banged SJP, I got horseshoe crabs.
As a true Washingtonian, I sure do love to bring up horse fucking.
When banged on Pandora, I got blue crabs
Coretta Scott once had a mean case of King Crabs.
not soon enough?
This new Spider-Man will be epic, human, and ultimately, a total game-changer.
