Ever since Sony Pictures dropped the bombshell in January of this year that they will rebooting the Spider-man franchise, the search for a replacement actor has been on. We have seen names ranging from Zach Efron to Robert Pattinson, but according to Bleedingcool.com we may have a new actor already lined up for the web slingers latest outing.

Jaimie Bell, who is best known for his roles in the newest King Kong and Jumper, will reportedly play the title character in Sony's 2012 Spider-man reboot. Bell appeared on a shortlist of possible leads released by Sony last month, which adds credibility to this rumor. Bell also is signed on for Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg's Tintin films.
