The Twilight star was linked to the comic book saga after the studio announced that original star Tobey Maguire would not be returning for a fourth outing.
Speaking to the Daily Record, Pattinson said: "I don't think I'm going to be playing Spider-Man, even though I would quite like to do it."
Sony previously insisted that casting for the project had not started and that its first priority was finding a director to replace original helmer Sam Raimi.
Other stars who have been linked to the role include Zac Efron and Percy Jackson And The Lightning Thief star Logan Lerman.
