The shortlist of candidates to play Peter Parker in the upcoming Spider-Man movie has allegedly been revealed.

Columbia Pictures has begun viewing screen tests of the actors it is considering for Marc Webb's relaunch of the franchise, according to Deadline.

Billy Elliot's Jamie Bell, Kick-Ass's Aaron Johnson, Star Trek's Anton Yelchin and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus's Andrew Garfield are all on the list.

They are joined by Logan Lerman from Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, Michael Angarano from The Forbidden Kingdom and Alden Ehrenreich from Tetro.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince's Frank Dillane is rumoured to have turned down the opportunity in order to attend drama school.

Sony has already announced that the film will be released on July 3, 2012 and will appear in 3-D.
