When he’s not busy stealing lightning, Logan Lerman, the star of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, is busy starting rumors that he’s the new Spider-Man. The baby-faced actor told Billy Bush today that “there have been a few discussions” about him starring as a young Peter Parker in the Marc Webb-directed reboot of Spider-Man. He added, “It’s definitely something I’m looking into.” Unfortunately, Lerman seems to be looking into it a bit harder than the movie’s studio, Columbia Pictures. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio has a list of potential actors and Lerman is just “on that list.” A Columbia rep said, “No offers have been made, nor have any business discussions been made with Lerman.” Thanks to his premature disclosure, he can probably count on that not changing.
