According to sources, six teenage boys tested for the highly sought-after role in Captain America: Civil War and the follow-up films, one of the biggest “gets” for a young actor in the film business.
Tom Holland, who appeared as one of Naomi Watts‘ sons in the acclaimed tsunami drama The Impossible, andAsa Butterfield, the child star from Hugo and Ender’s Game, were the best known of the contenders. The other four hopefuls included: Judah Lewis (a relative newbie who will be seen in Jean Marc-Vallee‘s fall dramaDemolition), Matthew Lintz (who will be seen with Adam Sandler in this summer’s Pixels), Charlie Plummer(who had a recurring gig on Boardwalk Empire) and Charlie Rowe (a British actor who appeared on Fox’s short-lived Red Band Society).
Reports suggest that the actors were flown to Atlanta in secret. Then the actors reported to the set of Civil War, Marvel’s latest feature film where each actor performed in front of Marvel’s head studio executives and producers.
Reports suggest that casting directors were looking for kids as young as 14 to audition for the role of Spider-Man.
