How Old 10 Marvel Actors Are Compared To Their Teenage Characters

Summary

• Marvel has made a conscious effort to cast younger actors to accurately portray teenage characters, although there is still an age discrepancy between the actors and their characters.
• Tom Holland's portrayal of Peter Parker as a teenager was convincing and well-received, despite him being 18 years old during filming.
• Despite the age differences, the believability of the cast's performances and their chemistry with each other have made the ages of the characters in the MCU Spider-Man films seem plausible.

Marvel has done an excellent job when it comes to the casting of teenagers, even if they are off by a couple of years. Long-gone are the days of a 26-year-old Tobey Maguire playing Peter Parker in a high school clearly filled with 30-year-olds. In the modern age of filmmaking, much closer attention is paid to cultivating younger talent to more accurately portray young characters. With the Young Avengers strongly rumored to appear in future MCU movies, that will probably only continue.
That being said, there's always going to be at least some age discrepancy between the actor or actresses involved in the Marvel movie universe and the characters they bring to life. The unfortunate reality is that people age faster than characters, and movies can only be produced so fast. Not only that, but studios will typically opt to use older actors when possible due to the difficulty of filming around the strict labor laws that protect child actors. Marvel usually does an excellent job with believable casting, but some of the discrepancies in character ages over the years can be surprising to say the least.
