The week of its release, and The Martian's science is already outdated by the recent discovery of water on Mars. Years from now, viewers will look back and shake their heads at the barren and dry depiction of the planet, along with the size and dimensions of cell phones, probably. Or the fact that we even had cell phones. But we'll forgive The Martian for being so last week.

With a new Spider-Man film headed to theaters on July 28, 2017, Sony is in full swing trying to find its new Peter Parker and according to The Wrap, while the studio is going to be sending out test offers over the next few weeks, there are five major contenders that paint a picture of the type of performer they’re looking for.
Those five include:
Asa Butterfield – Probably the best known of the group, and was the lead in Martin Scorsese‘s Hugo as well as Ender’s Game
Nat Wolff – Recently seen in The Fault in Our Stars, but I rather liked him in last year’s Palo Alto
Tom Holland – One of the stars of 2012’s tearjerker The Impossible
Timothee Chalamett – Seen both on Homeland and as Matthew McConaughey’s son in Interstellar
Liam James – Star of The Way Way Back
Wolff is the oldest of the group at 20, so it’s clear that Sony (and Marvel) are seeking actors that can grow into the role and sign a multi-picture deal. The Wrap also reports that Drew Goddard remains the top candidate to direct the new feature, who was of course attached to helm The Sinister Six before Sony scrapped those plans after the big Marvel deal was struck.
I’d expect to hear big news pretty soon.

Buffy left TV after Season 7, but Season 8 (and 9, and soon, 10) exist in comic form.
Weird vamps that can shift into fog and werewolves attack the slayers and steal the scythe. The Scooby gang quickly figure either Dracula’s behind it or someone’s stolen his powers.
I like this one because it takes the slayers to Japan and it involves lots of werewolves Also, DRACULA. I love Dracula and Xander together--they are hilarious. A very unlikely Bromance. That works really well. Plus, some interesting developments on Buffy’s love life and Dawn puts her giantness to good use.
It doesn’t really advance the overall plot arc, but it’s a really fun diversion. (Seriously, the banter between Xander and Dracula alone makes it more than worth it.)

Asa Butterfield would be pretty great casting. Looks the part and has great acting chops. I don’t know the others.
Nat Wolff all day!!
I hope this movie flops. I think the should have kept Andrew Garfield and killed him off. Then brought in Miles in the saga. Then in Civil War have Garfield come back because he faked his death and face off Miles. This would have lead to a four way battle with Cap, Iron Man, and the two Spidermans. The plot for this story is monotonous because most people know the origin story of Peter Park in High School. I think the four way battle would have brought an interesting dynamic to Marvel’s plot line.
I completely agree with you ac
These guys all look like middle-school children. No interest in this movie at all. The target audience, it seems, are 13-year-old girls who like to squeal over “cute” and nonthreatening guys.
