Logan Lerman, the star of “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” says he’s in talks to play Peter Parker in the upcoming “Spider-Man” movie that will reboot the blockbuster superhero franchise.

“There have been a few discussions, it’s definitely something I’m looking into,” Logan told Access Hollywood.

At 18 years old, Lerman would seem a good fit for the role of a teenage webslinger in director Marc Webb’s film, though nothing is official at this point regarding his attachment. However, Lerman said he was a big fan of the famous Marvel hero.

“It’s one of my favorite characters ever and I’m a huge fan of the series,” he said. “I’d love to have more conversations about it. I’m definitely very interested in it.”“It’s just, you know, conversations are starting,” he added. “It’s a long process with the studio and the producers and everything. But it’s definitely a project that I’m really interested in, of course. I’d love to focus on the human element a little bit more. It’d be such a fun experience.”

“Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” hits theaters February 12.
