AceShowbiz - The partnership between Sony and Marvel was officially announced on Monday night, February 9. In the wake of the news, Andrew Garfield allegedly is out as Spidey and will be replaced by a much younger actor. A Tuesday report from Variety additionally suggests that the movie, which is scheduled to arrive in 2017, will be set in high school.
Dylan O'Brien ("The Maze Runner", "Teen Wolf") and Logan Lerman ("Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters", "Fury") are linked to the role. The movie, however, will first find a director to replace Marc Webb who previously worked in "The Amazing Spider-Man" and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" before casting the new web slinger. Sony still needs to figure out whether they will continue with Peter Parker or Miles Morales who receives much support on social media.
I love Peter Parker, I do. I grew up with him. But we've seen his story. A lot. Miles Morales would be something different.

No, really, @Marvel, Miles Morales best be your new Spidey. Peter had his chance. (And then get back F4 and X-Men and make it a real party.)
