Joe Keery went through an amazing character arc in Netflix’sStranger Things,evolving from a popular and arrogant high school student to the group’s unofficial babysitter. Outside of the successful series, Keery has yet to secure a major leading role and fans have found the perfect lead role for him. Many have longed for Keery to don the superhero suit as Spider-Man, and one fan has even provided a glimpse of what that might look like in a piece of fan art.
In this fan art, Joe Keery can be seen both with the mask on and off, and needless to say, he bears all the physical qualities of a great Spider-Man. While theFree Guyactor may not be cast as Spider-Man anytime soon, fans can speculate endless possibilities from this single art.

Fan Art Supports Joe Keery As A Suitable Successor To Tom Holland
The legacy of portraying live-action Spider-Man initially belonged toTobey Maguire. Following Maguire’s three-movie tenure,Andrew Garfieldtook up the mantle for two movies before Sony collaborated with the MCU to bring another Spidey to the screen,Tom Holland. Holland has now played the web-slinger in three standalone movies and three ensemble MCU films.
While the Uncharted actor’s futureSpider-Manprojects are unclear at this time, fans have already found a replacement should he choose to step down from the role.Joe Keery, the ever-charming Steve fromStranger Things, has become the fan favorite. A fan art by the Instagram account, @clements.ink, has conceptualized Keery as both Peter Parker and Spider-Man. From the art, Keery is the perfect fit to play Spider-Man.

Keery fits most of the criteria for the role and then some. Keery can easily match the necessary acting range, physique, and comic timing required to play the character. While he might need to work on his stunts to match that of Tom Holland, he adds flair with his smooth long hair. Additionally, he also has a striking facial resemblance to one of the previous Spider-Man actors, Andrew Garfield.

Is Joe Keery As Spider-Man A Realistic Possibility?
However, fans needn’t entirely give up their hope, as anything can happen in the multiverse. Keery could still make a cameo appearance as a Spider-Man from another universe, something reminiscent of Sony’sSpider-Verse. It would be a nice touch from the studio to acknowledge the fan desires and bring Keery into one of their projects.
The excitement for Joe Keery’s ‘imaginary’ portrayal as the superhero was through the roof for fans in response to @clements.ink’s art. However, one fan went one step ahead and gave a suggestion to Keery not to bring Steve Harrington into Peter Parker. A valid suggestion, but it comes at the wrong time.
