With the announcement in February that Spider-Man is coming to the Marvel universe, we also knew one thing: the reign of Andrew Garfield as Spidey is effectively over. But with one door closed, another opens for a new generation of superheroes, and there have been several actors on the shortlist to play the next Spider-Man. Now comes a rumor that Asa Butterfield is the frontrunner, though the other actors on this list are still supposedly in consideration. Until we get an official announcement from Sony or Marvel, here are the young men who may be your next friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, starting in 2016's Captain America: Civil War.
