Reddit Recasts Spider-Man With 60s Actors, And It’s A Match
Raimi's Spider-Man would have faced some serious competition.
Spider-Man is one of the most beloved superheroes of all time. However, while Batman made it to his first live-action movie in 1966, Spider-Man was only created in 1962.
What would it be like if Spider-Man managed to swing his way into his own movie in the 60s? Well, some fans have put on their thinking caps and suggested the perfect actors who could have brought the iconic characters to life.
Martin Sheen as Peter Parker
Fans have envisioned the talented Martin Sheen as the ideal Peter Parker, the lovable and nerdy high school student who becomes everyone's favorite web-slinging hero.
Martin Sheen is known for his roles in movies like Apocalypse Now and The Departed, as well as his portrayal of President Josiah Bartlet in the TV series The West Wing.
He is also no stranger to Spider-Man as he portrayed Uncle Ben in The Amazing Spider-Man (2012).
Ann-Margret as Mary Jane Watson
For the role of Mary Jane Watson, fans have selected the beautiful and charismatic Ann-Margret.
Ann-Margret is a talented actress and singer, famous for her roles in movies like Bye Bye Birdie and Viva Las Vegas. Her vivacious personality and undeniable charm would make her the perfect match for the feisty and independent Mary Jane.
Christopher Walken as Harry Osborn
Fans have chosen the enigmatic Christopher Walken to portray Harry Osborn, Peter Parker's best friend and eventual nemesis. Christopher Walken is renowned for his performances in movies like The Deer Hunter and Pulp Fiction.
In the 60s, Walken was in his twenties, so why now.
Pamela Tiffin as Gwen Stacy
For the role of Gwen Stacy, fans picked late Pamela Tiffin. Pamela Tiffin was an actress known for her roles in 60s films like One, Two, Three and The Pleasure Seekers.
If you watch any movie starring the actress, you would agree that Tiffin, with her delicate beauty and grace, would be a perfect choice to portray Gwen Stacy.
Henry Fonda as Norman Osborn
Lastly, fans have envisioned the legendary Henry Fonda as the formidable Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn's father and the villainous Green Goblin.
Henry Fonda was an iconic actor, best known for his roles in classic films like 12 Angry Men and The Grapes of Wrath.
If Fonda played the role, we would have two legends portraying the same character: him and Willem Dafoe.
