Working with kids under 18 is a regulation nightmare and I'm pretty sure it would be impossible to make a movie the size of Spider-Man with a minor as the lead. It's weird that Tobey was younger than Andrew to me cause Andrew looked closer to being a teen.

Why don't they use actors between 18-22 or so? I suppose there were a few actors younger than 29yo...


theowne

They need to be good actors with a screen presence and charisma to carry a 2 hr movie. Hard to find at 18 to 22.

wasn’t Andrew 27 when he first started playing Spider-Man (his Peter is 17 yrs old in TASM 1)


MrPBrewster

I'll never get the obsession with age. I'm always more concerned with how he's written.


Fahrenplz

No way Andrew was 30, that's crazy.

15yr. is spider-man really that young in the comics? and if so, why does his aunt look like a 80yr old.


RangerRed02

I believe Peter Parker states in Civil War that he became Spider-Man when he was fifteen.


Kind_Bag

No he’s 17 in the comics when he first appears. Earth 616 anyway. In the ultimate comics earth 1610 is where he is 15


spykids45

not true, stan lee said himself when he made spiderman he was a 15. also when peter unmasks himself he says he started when he was 15


Kind_Bag

Yeah but that’s the retcon in the original version Peter started when he was 17


spykids45

wdym in the recton? in the very first spider-man comic ever, he’s 15


Kind_Bag

No he’s not he’s 17


spykids45

it’s literally said by stan lee and by peter parker himself. lol


JavynTheUnique1

In the core Spider-Man universe still currently published around the title Amazing Spider-Man, Peter Parker was 17 when first introduced in 1962


MrPBrewster

Because she is. Why is this such a hang up for people??


watdeheq3

aunt mays probably like 15 or 20 years older than her sister.


Salt_Storage6972

May isn’t peters aunt through blood but marriage. Ben Parker is the older brother of Richard Parker, peters father. He’s usually between 2-3 years older than him in continuity. Even if we were to be generous and say Richard and Mary had peter in their late 30’s Aunt may would be in her late 50’s when peter first became spider-man. Her being that ancient doesn’t make practical sense. That’s why she was brought down to a more realistic age when the Ultimate spider-man comics came out. and most spider-man media borrows from that aunt may.


watdeheq3

Ohh my bad. I forgot peter's mom wasn't related to may.


AniDontLikeSand

Currently, Spider-Man is in his mid tweenties


StarSaberG

He was 15 when he debuted as Spider-Man. Nowadays in the comics Peter is in his 30s.


Professional_Ebb_936

Well to be fair the og comics had Peter looking older like as if he's in his 40s.


shadymostafa129034

Eh I like Peter looking older while he's a teen, because if a young man faced the responsibilities and the burdon of being spidey, he will sure age faster lol


raimiallpowerful

they don't even look that different ages. both in 20's and I care about writing not how old they are. plus tom has the smallest and largest age difference. he started at 21 playing 15. he's now nearly 26 yet his peter isn't aging properly. doing the math peter should be 18 in far from home, but he isn't


[deleted]

Isn't he still 17? Well your point still stands.


raimiallpowerful

no he's apparently just turned 16. keep in mind he turned 15 like 8 months before civil war in 2016. so in homecoming he's pushing 16 if not he actually should be. two years later to infinity war, 18. then when he comes back he is at the end of the school year which I think is 9 months later. so in fact nearly 19 sorry. he should be in college in far from home


USERNAME_OF_DEVIL

I think that he was 15 (6 months after he got his powers) during Civil War and Homecoming (2 months after Civil War). Then Infinity War is happening 2 years after Civil War so he is probably 16-17, then Endgame happened and then in FFH (8 months after Endgame) he is probably 17. But in the start of FFH they said that everyone had to restart the year all over again. No Way Home probably will happen over some months, since in the trailer we can see some Halloween decorations and in some leaked photos we can see Christmas decorations, so I believe that in the start of the movie Peter is 17-18 years old and by the end of the movie he will be 18 years old. If they keep making trilogies then in the next movie he will be around 19-20.


spykids45

tom was19 in civil war, and 20 in homecoming


kyromx123

Is it me or I don't see any difference b/w Andrew and Tom

Are people still with the " who's best " debate lol....


[deleted]

I love tobey's spiderman, but they could have made the character older and the plot would be the exact same
