Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief star Logan Lerman revealed to Access Hollywood that he is in early talks with Sony Pictures to play Peter Parker in the Spider-Man reboot.

ā€œThere have been a few discussions, it’s definitely something I’m looking into,ā€ the 18-year-old Lerman said. ā€œIt’s one of my favorite characters ever and I’m a huge fan of the series. I’d love to have more conversations about it. I’m definitely very interested in it.ā€

Access Hollywood adds that Logan said the interest in him playing Spider-Man was ā€œvice versaā€ from both him and the studio.

ā€œIt’s just, you know, conversations are starting. It’s a long process with the studio and the producers and everything. But it’s definitely a project that I’m really interested in, of course. I’d love to focus on the human element a little bit more. It’d be such a fun experience.ā€
