Ansel Elgort has made a name for himself in the industry. He is especially famous amongst the teens, thanks to his role in "Divergent" and "The Fault in Our Star." Elgort is reportedly a solid actor and has apt looks to play Peter Parker.
Robbie Amell is best known to play Firestorm in "The Flash." His chiselled features give him an upper hand when it comes to playing college going Peter Parker, as per the Website. Burlingame feels that it is Amell's charm, which has helped him get many roles, and Spiderman will fit like a glove, if he is given an opportunity to play.
Toby Maguire became a household name when he did his first Spiderman film in 2002. The actor knows the history and geography of the character. However, chances of him getting casted are dim, as a new face may be Marvel's choice.
