Also in contention for the role of the Marvel superhero's love interest are British actresses Imogen Poots (Centurion), Ophelia Lovibond (4.3.2.1) and Lily Collins (The Blind Side).
Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World star Mary Elizabeth Winstead had also met with director Marc Webb about the role but has dropped out of the race, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The part is reportedly not that of Mary Jane Watson, the character portrayed by Kirsten Dunst in the previous Spider-Man films, although it is unclear if the quartet are auditioning to play Gwen Stacy or a new character.
Spider-Man is due to go intro production in December and will centre more on Peter Parker's high school woes than the previous Sam Raimi-directed instalments.
