According to Badass Digest, Weeds actor Mateus Ward auditioned for the role of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe.  The auditon was reportedly so secret, Ward had to audition at someone's house, not at a casting office.  Despite numerous rumous surrounding other young actors, Ward is the first to actually have his name mentioned for auditions.  Badass Digest further reports that Marvel is potentially looking to lockdown the next Spider-Man very quickly in order to film a cameo for Captain America: Civil War.  If this report is true, it would appear that Marvel may be looking to cast a relatively unkown for the role and someone young enough to continue playing Spider-Man for at least a decade.
