TheWrap 's film reporter Jeff Sneider appeared on the Meet the Movie Press podcast this week during which time he claimed that Ender's Game star Asa Butterfield -- once thought to be the contender to beat -- is not one of the three finalists for the title role.Sneider said that he's been told the three contenders as of right now are Tom Holland (How I Live Now), Charlie Plummer (Boardwalk Empire), and Matthew Lintz (Pixels). Sneider claims that Marvel's pick is Charlie Plummer, while Sony likes Tom Holland, meaning that Marvel and Sony are "at odds" over who should portray the web-slinger.Sony is paying for the reboot, which might ultimately trump creative overseer Marvel's choice. Sneider thinks that means Holland will ultimately win the role.Another issue is said to be what age the actor should be to play the teenage Peter Parker. An actor of the age of 14 or 15 is a minor and thus cannot work the same amount of hours on set as an actor 18 or older.Scrub forward to about the 10:30 mark in the video below:The new Spider-Man is expected to make his MCU appearance in Captain America: Civil War followed by his own solo film coming out summer 2017.

Both actors are British.
