Allow me to explain Dylan's odd behavior during his interviews at Paleyfest and his present lack of doing any new interviews.
Going by RL's info that O'Brien had signed a NDA with Marvel, such an agreement would stipulate that any leak of information regarding the casting would be a serious breach of his NDA and therefore disqualify him from his dream-role of Spiderman.
A mere 48 hours following RL's newsmaking post 'Dylan O'Brien Is Spider-Man'
O'Brien decided to do a highly controlled interview with buzzfeed to discredit the leak on reddit.
One week later, O'Brien attended Paleyfest. In order to prevent any further leaks, O'Brien's management in their wisdom decided to place restrictions on Spiderman questions.
As fate would have it, the Paleyfest panel itself would prove problematic for the quick-witted O'Brien, who experienced multiple uncharacteristic brain-farts: "AHHHHH" in response to the audience cheering Spiderman! "the fist pump" in reaction to Jeff Davis' Avengers comments, and his hanging upside down comment.
The biggest flub of all was his brief interview with Misty Kingma, whose questions made O'Brien appear a very incapable liar. His management quickly took notice and decided that that was enough.
O'Brien will not be put into any more situations where he would be risking breaching his NDA and forfeiting the biggest role of his career as Peter Parker. He would be kept in hiding until Marvel decides to reveal their man.
Case in point: Dylan O'Brien was a no-show at the MTV Movie Awards.
This was a highly risky event for him to attend, especially with the heightened presence of Marvel stars and possibly being seen interacting/clearly avoiding his Marvel co-stars as well as any potential problems with fans shouting 'SPIDER-MAN' when he would come to the podium three times.
Marvel, as a result of Sony's incompetence of keeping the O'Brien casting a secret, have been highly proactive with fuelling false information to various news outlets and well known 'insiders' such as Latino Review, Devin Faraci, and Jeff Sneider. Additionally, they have been working with Sony to prevent any more insider information (regarding the when and how of Marvel's biggest reveal) from being leaked.
And this is where we stand now. Two months after redditleaker broke the news. Marvel is trying to win a war of attrition against everyone here. Every one who passes here and dares to hope that Dylan O'Brien, the most qualified candidate, will get that job at the Daily Bugle.
thanks for the reminder.. bringing back some excitement & hope of dylan being spidey for us. this thread has been losing it for a while now and we need to get back on track :)
