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.
