First thing’s first: Yes, Josh Hutcherson would still like to play Spider-Man. We talked to the 22-year-old Hunger Games star last week on the eve of his new Project Imagination collaboration with director-producer Ron Howard, and we brought up his previous superhero aspirations.

I wouldn't mind seeing Josh Hutcherson as Spidey.
Garfield was great, but I don't think his version would have meshed well with The Avengers. Josh has experience playing a reluctant hero considered an outcast by his peers, and he has a big enough name to garner at least some box office attention.As long as they stay away from the origins trap (which it sounds like they are, thank goodness!), I'm fine with them making another Spidey flick. Especially now that Marvel themselves has a hand in it.
