BAD news, dear readers: Robert Pattinson won’t be slipping into a tight Lycra suit to play Spider-Man — despite recent reports to the contrary.After Tobey Maguire — who has portrayed the titular character and his alter-ego Peter Parker for the past three movies — quit the franchise, it was claimed Pattinson would be stepping in to replace him for the fourth installment.
But, as Gossip Cop notes, Pattinson won’t be taking on the coveted role — he’s too busy.
The British actor, 23, is committed to a hectic upcoming slate that includes Bel Ami, Unbound Captives, and a potential Breaking Dawn production.
Sony Pictures, who are making Spider-4, have insisted the project will still go ahead but will now be released in 2012, instead of next year as previously planned.
It is thought they will now make a prequel about Peter Parker as a teenager instead, meaning Kirsten Dunst – who played love interest Mary Jane Watson — will also not return.
Robert Pattinson: A Bad Role Model?
The effect Robert Pattinson has on his young fans is clear.
They scream in the streets for him; they camp out for days to attend his movie premieres; they buy posters, shirts and all kinds of apparel with his face on it; they help him sky-rocket to the A-list and be considered for a new franchise lead.
In short, whether Pattinson asks for it or whether he deserves it, this fact is undeniable: he influences million of people.
With that in mind, it's difficult to not be taken aback when looking at a couple outtakes from the actor's photo shoot with Wonderland Magazine. These never made it into the publication, but Pattinson didn't know that would be the case when he stuck a lit cigarette into his mouth and posed for them:
Is Robert well within his rights to smoke? Of course.
But was it really necessary to do so as part of a pictorial that would be viewed around the world? Unless Pattinson was trying to prove that even he's capable of looking ugly, we say no, not at all. It was a dumb decision.
