This Spider-Man 3 actor could make a great Peter.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Spider-Man 3 received a lot of flack upon release, not least for its controversial casting decisions - but Marvel fans are now arguing that one of the movie's new actors could have been a perfect Peter Parker. Although it is difficult to choose which Spider-Man was the best cast in the three iterations of the webslinger on the big screen, that hasn't stopped the fan-casting train from forging ahead.
The argument sprang from a post via X/Twitter in which user NirvanaM1ndDX suggested that Topher Grace would have been better cast as Peter Parker rather than Eddie Brock. This led another user, VicPerfecto, to reveal pretty stark similarities between Grace's character Eric from That 70s Show and Peter Parker as portrayed in the 1994 Spider-Man animated series.
Why Topher Grace Would Have Been A Perfect Live-Action Spider-Man Topher Grace would have offered more to the role than visual similarities, of course, although they are striking. His portrayal of Eric on That 70s Show is all the credentials he needs to show how well he can embody the character of a nerdy nice guy with a dry wit and affable demeanor.
In the end, it was a shame that this theme couldn't have been explored in more depth in Spider-Man 3. Between Raimi not being fully committed to the Venom character and Venom being a part of a bloated rogues gallery, Grace's time in the live-action Spider-Man realm was cut short even as a villain thanks to the negatives of Spider-Man 3. That is not to say, however, that Marvel won't pick up on Grace's similarities and cast him as an older MCU Peter Parker variant in the future.
