Josh Hutcherson has revealed that it is an honour just to considered for the role of Spiderman.
The Journey to the Centre of the Earth star is just one in a long line of actors who have auditioned for the role of Peter Parker in the reboot of the superhero franchise.
Speaking to Comingsoon.net the actor said: "I think a lot of people are auditioning and talking about it, so it's an honour to be considered on the same list with some of these actors that I'm up against. It's really cool. To be talked about in that kind of role is very awesome."
"I really don't know what's going on with everything right now," he told us when asked if he was still in the running. "It would be an honour to play that role, it's a big thing, it's a total game changer.
"I really want to play a comic book hero. I'm not really huge into comics, but I've always been big into superheroes from the cartoons and the movies that have been made about them."
The likes of Jamie Bell, Aaron Johnson, Logan Lerman and Andrew Garfield are also being considered for the role.
Hutcherson will be back on the big screen later this year with The Kids Are All Right and also has The Third Rule, Carmel and Red Dawn on the horizon.
