HitFix is now reporting that Sony has already chosen Lerman to play Peter Parker, but the two parties have yet to contractually finalize the deal. Since production is set to begin later this year, an official announcement will soon be made.

The site claims that Lerman beat out such contenders as Anton Yelchin (Star Trek), Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland), Patrick Fugit (The Moguls) and Johnny Simmons (Jennifer’s Body).

The “Spider-Man” reboot is set to be directed by Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer) from a script by James Vanderbilt (Zodiac). It is scheduled to hit theaters on July 3rd, 2012.
