Latinoreview managed to get their hands on Josh Hutcherson’s (Journey to the Center of the Earth) Spider-Man audition video, which was choreographed by Larnell Stovall of Undisputed 3 fame. Continue reading to watch.
Earlier yesterday, screen grabs from the audition leaked online. Thanks to an anonymous donor, we got the video. Pretty cool huh? Hutcherson’s audition got the attention of the execs at Sony and I think a meeting or two with Webb.

Inspiration for this figure came from the comic and the movie so I made a hybrid Venom. I hated how the movie stylized Venom but I loved the symbiote liquid when it was forming on the person.
