Spider-Man reboot casting updates/rumours

Some weeks ago, there was reported that Mary Jane wouldn't be Peter Parker's love interest in the next Spider-Man reboot and that Gwen Stacy would take her place in as the female lead, but now, according to Collider, Deadline is now reporting that previously-named actresses (Emma Stone (Easy A), Mia Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland and The Kids Are All Right) along with the new-named actresses Dianna Agron (from TV show Glee), Dominique McElligott (Moon) and Georgina Haig (Wasted on the Young) are under consideration for Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane.
Some reports say that Sony has offered to Emma Stone a part in their next big franchise, which means that they may offered her the role of Mary Jane, but it seems that there isn't an official declaration to the press, so, by now, I must trust on Deadline.
For the role of the villain, some reports claim that the audiences will see Venom again, but played by Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote). To be completly honest, I would prefer to see another villain like the previous rumoured the Lizzard (who would be played by Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds)), but it seems that the story of this reboot will happen in high-school and, if I'm not wrong, the Lizzard is one Peter Parker's college teachers. So, who should be the villain? Well, maybe Venom, but Philip Seymour Hoffman seems a little bit wrong for the role in spite of his amazing acting versatility.
For the role of Gwen Stacy, I've not a clear choice, but I would take Mia Wasikowska or Dianna Agron, just because Wasikowska is on fire because of her work in the high-grossing Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland and for her acclaimed performance in one of the most acclaimed movies of this year (the indie production The Kids Are All Right), but on the other hand, we have the extremely beautiful Dianna Agron, who can act (maybe not as good as Wasikowska, but still being able to act nicely), who is popular because of her role in the TV-sensation-show Glee. One of these two actresses would be great, but I would put my money on Mia Wasikowska (she hasn't a potencial schedule crash with Glee's filming and she has already proved to be a bankable and critically praised actress).
Sony has already confirmed the presence of Marc Webb ((500) Days of Summer) in the director's chair and Andrew Garfield (Boy A, Red Riding trilogy, Never Let Me Go and The Social Network) for the leading role of Peter Parker/Spider-Man.

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today - 2017

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

TOP 10 Most Promising Movie Actors (under 30)

Today I discussed about how awful some "teen icons" are and then we talked about some exceptions. So, I decided to make a little list, a TOP 10, with the male actors that I think that will become music in an ocean of noise somewhere in the future (I did one list before, but it was a little bit pathetic and I didn't justify my choices). Let's start... 1 - Ryan Gosling He may not have a huge list of movies in his body of work, but the few times he makes something, all the time he almost carries the movie. In fact, Gosling is a proof that talent does exist and that you don't need excentrical characters to receive raves. He rose to fame after the big screen adaptation of The Notebook (2004) and then received lots of critical praise for his performances in movies like Half Nelson (that gave him an Oscar, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations), Lars and the Real Girl (that gave him a Golden Globe, a SAG Award and other major awards nominations) and Fractur...

TOP 35 Actors and Actresses with or under 35 years old: 2018

I think it was my TOP 35 under 35 list I've ever done since I remember: so many great performers emerged last year with distinguished performances that elevated their previous works (I'm talking about Elizabeth Olsen , Lucas Hedges , Robert Pattinson , Gaspard Ulliel , Tessa Thompson or Jamie Bell , for example). I'm kinda sad I felt "forced" at letting Jonah Hill ( Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street ) and Emma Watson ( The Perks of Being a Wallflower , The Bling Ring and 2017's Beauty and the Beast ) out of the list. Congratulations to Kirsten Dunst , who turned 35 last year so she can not be included in this year's list - such an amazing child actress turned movie star, who delivered memorable performances in Interview with the Vampire (1994), The Virgin Suicides (1999), The Cat's Meow (2002) or Melancholia (2011). This year, Saoirse Ronan tops the list thanks to two great performances: On Chesil Beach and an iconic acting turn in Lad...
