The next Peter Parker?

From darkhorizons, "Many boys and girls (and Marc) out there have a desire to see young hunk Jake Gyllenhaal in tight fitting spandex. Now, the only debate seems to be over what color scheme it will be.Coming close to nabbing the role of Spider-Man for the first sequel when Tobey Maguire had to consider bowing out due to injury, the "Brokeback Mountain" star apparently remains the top choice to replace Maguire in a fourth "Spider-Man" film which is already in the works at Sony.Now comes rumours from the British tabloids (via filmick) that New Line are courting him for their "Shazam!" movie featuring Captain Marvel.On top of this they also state the deciding factor will come down to money, with Jakey set to earn a whopping amount from whichever studio wins."

Oh man. I'm totally amped for Jake to play Spidey but I wish they'd NOT emulate Superman Returns by casting a too-young actor as the hero. Captain Marvel should be an actual grown-up. Although having a bidding war between two superhero flicks must be sweet.

The same day I said something nice about Superman, too. Jeez.
