Merrick here...



Access Hollywood spoke with Logan Lerman (GAMER, 3:10 TO YUMA, HOOT), who indicated that the powers behind the SPIDER-MAN reboot have reached out to him about playing Peter Parker in the new SPIDEY film & that some "talk" has happened.

To be super, double-plus clear, this DOES NOT mean he has already been...or will ever be...cast in the role. This simply means he's been contacted about taking the role and..."discussions" are under way.

Read more, and hear this for yourself, HERE.

Here's a look at Logan in the forthcoming PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF from director Chris Columbus.



...and here's an interview with Lerman about Neveldine/Taylor's GAMER (keep in mind this vid may be a year or two old - that film sat on shelves for a time before its release).

I guess the first question that pops into my mind about this is: presuming more PERCY JACKSON films are made (since there are a number of books to adapt in that literary series, this is a possibility)...and presuming a formal offer is extended to Logan to play Peter Parker...how would Lerman playing two high-profile, franchise-driving roles simultaneously feel in the market place? Or will teenage girls not give a shit about such considerations? Probably not.
