(Other actors reportedly being considered for the role include Jamie Bell and Aaron Johnson.)

JOSH HUTCHERSON: I found out when everybody else did, through the random blogs and stuff like that.

Your agent didnt tell you that you were being considered?

People like my mom have Google alerts, and my agent is always looking out [for news].

It was so weird to me.

So your mom has a Google-alert on your name?

Thats a good mom.

Have you been in formal meetings for the role?

Thereve been so many people that have gone in for that role.

Ive done the same thing that every other actor my age has for that part.

Its something so big, its hard to even fathom getting, honestly.

Its really a privilege.

What does your Spidey sense tell you, Popwatchers?

Do you think Hutcherson has nabbed the role?
