11 Reasons Why Dylan O'Brien Should Be The New Spiderman

Huh, who is this piece of hunk? Now that Marvel can use Spiderman in the 2016 "Captain America: Civil War," the big question is... who will play the iconic role? My bet's on Dylan O'Brien.

This is Dylan O'Brien

You may have seen him on Teen Wolf, The Internship, or more recently in The Maze Runner.

He can be confused sometimes.

"A guy who's genuinely funny and looks like that?"

"It's the most valuable and scarce resource in Hollywood, because most movies are about young, white men. And there are maybe a dozen guys in the whole business that are those two things. Of any age. The best example right at the moment is obviously Chris Pratt, who is hilarious and looks like a leading man, and you can see what's happening with him. Dylan is one of those guys, so his potential is… pretty much limitless. What would be more surprising is if he didn't end up saving the world from an alien threat sometime in the next few years."

(FYI all quotes used are from this Buzzfeed Article on Dylan.)

But we're here to talk about why he's perfect for the Spiderman cameo in "Captain America: Civil War" and in the 2017 standalone film.

So why don't we get started.

Background info: His favorite superhero is Spiderman

Question: If you could be any superhero, who would you be?

Dylan: Spiderman Spiderman Spiderman Spiderman

1. He is an energetic down-to-earth guy:

He's unafraid and unashamed of putting himself out there- even at a very young age.

“His energy doesn’t impress me so much as I envy it,” Kasdan wrote. “It’s boundless and youthful and exuberant and hilarious and … it infuses that movie with life and electricity.”

2. He understands what it means to be that lonely kid:

Dylan moved from New Jersey to California when he was 11.

“I was painfully, painfully shy,” he said, without a hint of shame, about his childhood. “There were four or five years of not having any friends.”

Peter Parker wasn't too popular in school at first, either.

No one likes being lonely, so here's some pictures of Dylan and a puppy.

He can also pull off the puppy-eyes very well.

3. He can play someone who isn't athletic (Peter Parker)

"I want to puke. Take me somewhere."

But also pull off the physicality of a Maze Runner (Spiderman)

“Whatever that intangible thing is, that every actor in the world wants to have and almost none of them do, Dylan’s got it.”

4. He is adorkable:

But still. adorkable.

And he likes to dance- those hips sure don't lie

I'm just going to quietly leave this over here.

5. He's just as lost in high school as we are/were:

*FYI: someone was sacrificing virgins in this episode.

Check out 1:29, 2:43, and 4:44

6. He can more than handle important roles (so you can definitely trust him with Spiderman):

“The unusual thing about Dylan is he’s not at all vain or narcissistic,” Kasdan added. “I mean, not AT ALL. Which, for an actor, is pretty unusual. He’s just a nice, enthusiastic guy. He’s quick to laugh and inclusive of everyone.”

“It’s hard for people to slack when you have Dylan — who just worked 14 hours — beat up and bruised, but still going at it the next day as hard as he did previously,” the director said. “It was hard not to try and rise and support the kid. Everyone knew the movie was his burden so it was about rising to his level of involvement.”

7. He is earnest and authentic (a defining characteristic of leading Marvel characters):

He doesn't take himself too seriously

And he's a good friend.

Here's a little on his bromance with Teen Wolf co-star Tyler Posey.

8. He is dedicated to the story-telling process and the work, not just the ratings or the fame:

youtube.com

Which matches the Marvel movie persona.

"No sex for the sake of sex."
He said no to filming a "full-tilt sex scene" because he felt it would be derailing from the episode's main plotline.

9. He can play a diverse set of roles:

He plays both the evil "Nogitsune-possessed" Stiles and the human stiles in Season 3 of Teen Wolf.

Via tumblr.com

He also plays the romantic love interest who would have taken Zoey Deschanel's character's virginity in New Girl.

It didn't end quite so well because they got stuck in playground equipment...

10. Sometime's he's not smooth, but that just makes us love him even more:

youtube.com

He's unafraid of admitting that JLaw would kick his butt.

11. On top of all that, he pulls off the adorkable look very well:

What, Spiderman? I'd be down for that role.

Look I already have an Oscorp Pass!

And who doesn't want to see some of this in spandex:

That's right. No one.

No one doesn't want to see it. Which means everyone does!

You know you want it to happen, Marvel.
