Robert Pattinson in “Spider-Man” Reboot?

By now, everyone knows that director Sam Raimi and actor Tobey Maguire left “Spider-Man 4″ after a script disagreement. Sony has decided to forget about continuing the story and will now reboot the franchise. Apparently that was the direction the studio was going to head in after the fourth installment anyway.

The plan is to bring Spidey back to high school and to make the new film “gritty and contemporary.” Many have speculated that Sony will probably hire whichever actor is currently hot, joking that “Twilight” star Robert Pattinson might have a shot.

According to The Daily Record, Pattinson has more than a shot. The paper says that Hollywood watchers are naming Pattinson and Michael Cera (Superbad) as the actors to replace Maguire. Who these Hollywood watcher are… We have no idea.
