Now bear in mind that there isn't even a screenplay yet for the planned reboot -- the writers were just hired! -- so take all of the following with a big ol' grain of salt. Still, for the sake of conversation ... Latino-Review posted a purported casting document, with several parts listed as undergoing final negotiations. According to the document, the villains Vulture and Scorpion will be played by Billy Zane and Jason Biggs, respectively. The report notes that both villains use mechanized suits, fueling speculation of a Tony Stark cameo.It also claims relative unknown Rachel Fox will play Mary Jane Watson, with Sami Gayle as her best friend Liz Allan (although the purported casting list photo L-R ran has her name misspelled), and Miranda Cosgrove as Betty Brant. Timothée Chalamet is listed for Harry Osborn, and Tyler Posey as Ned Leeds -- both potential future villains. Rounding out Peter's classmates is Jacob Latimore as Flash Thompson.Finally, at The Daily Bugle, Hugh Laurie is listed as J. Jonah Jameson, with Forest Whitaker as Robbie Robertson.Again, the writers for the Spidey have only just been hired. Why would Marvel and Sony rush to sign up actors (especially Billy Zane and Jason Biggs of all people) without a script?Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada recently told IGN he had seen the new Spider-Man costume , but refused to give details on it.
