Grant Gustin recently attended the ACE Comic Con Seattle panel and was asked, if he wasn’t playing Barry Allen/ The Flash in the DC universe, which Marvel Comics character he would like to play? Gustin answered, “Spider-Man.” He continued his explanation saying, “I love Tom Holland, but Spider-Man. I love Andrew Garfield too, while we’re talking about it.” The reveal didn’t come as much of a surprise for fans of the actor. When Marvel Studios was in search of the actor who would play MCU’s Spider-Man, many fans wondered what Gustin would be like in the role, even though he was already playing The Flash.
