SPIDER-MAN Finds A Flash Thompson In Chris Zylka
It looks like actor Chris Zylka has been locked in to the role of Flash Thompson in the Spider-Man reboot.
In the comics Eugene “Flash” Thompson is a classmate of Peter Parker, and also a bully who constantly taunts and humiliates the poor boy. Ironically, once Peter is bitten and becomes Spider-Man, Flash becomes a massive fan of the hero, while still taking out his frustrations on Spidey’s alter-ego, at least until Peter knocks him out of the ring during an impromptu boxing match, at which point Flash mostly sticks to the odd verbal insult.
The cast also includes Emma Stone sporting her new blonde hair, Andrew Garfield , Martin Sheen, Sally Field, Rhys Ifans, Denis Leary, Campbell Scott, Julianne Nicholson, Annie Parisse and Irrfan Khan.
Spider-Man will hit theaters on July 4, 2012.
