AceShowbiz - Nat Wolff addresses report that he is among the candidates for the new Spider-Man. The actor responds to the rumor while sitting down for an interview with Cara Delevingne during a press tour for their upcoming movie "Paper Towns".
"I honestly don't know anything about Spider-Man. I mean, who wouldn't want to play Spider-Man?" he played it coy when asked during a chat with MTV News. "I plead the fifth!" he added, which seemed to hint that he might know more than he's letting on.
"My little cousin was the one who told me [about the rumors]," Wolff said. "Six hours ago, he texted me, 'Hey man, are you going to be Spider-Man?' " While no confirmation has been made, the actor gets support from fellow star Vincent D'Onofrio.
