New ‘Spiderman’ Has Its Next Peter Parker?!
Latino Review has the scoop, telling us that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have set their sites on the next Peter Parker.
According to the site, Asa Butterfield is the frontrunner of the previously reported batch of names that included Timothee Chalamet (One and Two, Interstellar), Tom Holland (Locke, The Impossible), Liam James (“Psych,” The Way, Way Back) and Nat Wolff (The Fault in Our Stars, Paper Towns).
The site received a “no comment” but have always been one of the forefront of major Marvel scoops. We believe in them implicitly.

As we stated in the above linked article, all of the aforementioned names are too old for the role, and this includes Butterfield. At least with Butterfield, we know we’re getting a seasoned actor who was absolutely fantastic in both Hugo and Ender’s Game (a critically panned movie I actually enjoyed quite a bit).
The new Spider-Man will first appear in Anthony and Joe Russo’s upcoming Captain America: Civil War, which will hit theaters May 6, 2016.
THEN, and only then will this new Peter Parker swing into action solo on July 28, 2017. Drew Goddard is rumored to direct with the title also rumored to be Spider-Man: The New Avenger.

‘Curse of the Where Wolf’ Bites Into August Release With Trio of Werewolf Theatrical Screenings [Exclusive Preview]
Larry Chaney‘s hairy misadventures are continuing in the sequel graphic novel Curse of the Where Wolf from creative team Rob Saucedo, Debora Lancianese, and Jack Morelli, and its author is celebrating with a trio of horror’s greatest werewolf films.
The Curse of the Where Wolf hits shelves on August 7 from Encyclopocalypse Publications.
That coincides with the launch of a theatrical screening event in Houston, Texas, featuring a trio of seminal werewolf flicks turning 45 this year: The Howling on August 7, Wolfen on August 14, and An American Werewolf in London on August 21.
Each screening features a “werewolf in film” presentation as well as a book signing from Where Wolf author and River Oaks Theatre artistic director Rob Saucedo.
In the new graphic novel, “Being a werewolf sucks. Reporter Larry Chaney wanted to be a hero. Instead, he became a werewolf. Now, caught between incredible new powers and a desire to eat everything (and everyone) in sight, Larry must find a cure for his curse. Or die trying.”
“With Where Wolf, I wanted to tell a whodunit set in a furry convention, so the story was pretty contained within a very specific setting and genre. With Curse of the Where Wolf, I wanted to celebrate everything I love about the possibility of comic books. Curse of the Where Wolf is a funny book, in every sense of the phrase, but it’s also an earnest look at a person’s struggle to become a better version of themselves, especially when the alternative is to become a literal monster,” Saucedo says of Curse.
The original graphic novel was previously serialized as the first webcomic hosted on Fangoria before being collected by Encyclopocalypse Publications in 2023 and has already been optioned for film, podcast, and television development ahead of launch by producers James Fino (“The Freak Brothers” for Tubi, “Rick and Morty” for Adult Swim) and Charles Horak (First Date for Magnolia Pictures).
Expect Larry to find himself in even weirder situations in the 362-page full color sequel; Saucedo has provided Bloody Disgusting with exclusive art pages from the upcoming graphic novel that showcase lupine humor.
