Speculation that the Twilight star could play Peter Parker was sparked after original actor Tobey Maguire departed the franchise earlier this week.
However, the studio has now denied the claims, telling ET Online: "Our first step is to find a director."
Sony recently confirmed that it is planning to reboot the Spider-Man franchise without Maguire, co-star Kirsten Dunst and director Sam Raimi.
Spider-Man 4 is scheduled for release in summer 2012.
