For the last couple of days the internet has been buzzing with the idea that Eastenders’ star Sam Strike is in line for the role of Peter Parker/Spider-man, based on a few tweets sent by him and his agent that basically said he has a role coming up and he’s training in the gym.

But it seems it’s not Spidey at all. But someone else who’s very iconic… but possibly with a very different audience.

The new take on Leatherface will be directed by Julien Maury and Alexandre Bustillo for Millennium Films and will see the Texas Chainsaw Massacre character’s origins in the early 1970s

So, who would you rather see Strike playing? Spidey… or Leatherface? Let us know…

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
