With Tobey Maguire still uncertain about whether or not he'll be playing Spider-Man after the third movie, Sony is preparing a contingency plan that will allow the franchise to move on without him. We have a line on who one of the actors they're considering to replace him is. Cinema Blend reports:

"One of our most reliable, proven, inside sources emailed me tonight to let us know that Joseph Gordon-Levitt, star of "The Lookout," could be in contention to be the next Peter Parker. Our source says the people in charge over at Sony were impressed by his performance in "The Lookout", and that has him on their radar. And it should. Levitts brilliant in it. Actually, hes brilliant in everything. He's one of the best young actors working today. He also has the right build, the right look, and could easily step in where Tobey Maguire has already tread."
