Robert Pattinson is reported to be the top pick for a Tobey Maguire replacement for Spider-Man 4. We've seen him scale a tree, so he can probably handle some skyscrapers!
News spread Monday that Tobey, who played Peter Parker/Spider Man in the first three films wouldn't be returning for Spider-Man 4, Entertainment Wise reports.
"Beyond the films themselves, I have formed some deep and lasting friendships,” Tobey said. “I am excited to see the next chapter unfold in this incredible story."
The next chapter reportedly will focus on Peter Parker as a high school student, but who will play that role now?
Well, Entertainment Wise reports that Twilight fans are hoping for R-Pattz!
Right now, Rob has a pretty busy schedule working on his film Bel Ami with Uma Thurman in February and will also be gearing up to shoot The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in 2010 as well.
Not to mention, there will surely be other competition for the role.
