Logan Lerman, star of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief," is "almost 100% locked" to be the new Spider-Man, according to HitFix.The "Spider-Man" reboot, tentatively scheduled for a July 2012 release, will see Peter Parker taken back to his early teenage years, battling girls, homework and finding his identity. The reboot began when the "Spider-Man" franchise director Sam Raimi bowed out of working on the fourth movie, even though stars Kirsten Dunst and Tobey Maguire had already signed on to it.
Lerman's name has been bandied about for months. "There have been a few discussions, it's definitely something I'm looking into," Lerman told "Access Hollywood" on Thursday, Feb. 4. "It's one of my favorite characters ever and I'm a huge fan of the series," he added. "I'd love to have more conversations about it. I'm definitely very interested in it."
Lerman is best known for his role as the titular character in "The Lightning Thief," but he also gave an excellent turns as Christian Bale's son in "3:10 to Yuma" and Bobby McAllister in the TV series "Jack & Bobby."
What do you guys think? Is Logan Lerman a good choice?

I haven't seen that Percy Jackson flick but I thought he was pretty good in My One And Only.
Excellent choice, he has such powerful range in his acting. Great kid, too.
The studio can do no wrong in hiring him.
Hope he gets it. the only movie i seen him in was Gamer and he did a really good job in it.
YES
not a bad choice... kid's got skills!
What is he, twelve years old?
I loved Jack & Bobby. That show was amazing and it never got the recognition it deserved.
More interested in hoping the writers will do a great job on the script for the new movie. That's really more important. A lot of times, producers/directors spend too much damn on the special effects and not enough time on a great story and characterization.
This actor does look pretty good for the part. Haven't seen him do any acting jobs because I never seen his efforts.
he def has the right look! outlook good.
Yes, I watched Jack & Bobby as well. He was amazing on it! I was so upset when it got canceled! Logan is an amazing actor!!!
