Do you think he will lose roles now that he's losing weight?


25 y/o Jacob Batalan, who played Spiderman's best friend, Ned in the movies lost a massive amount of weight..more than 110lbs since he starred in Homecoming.

In 2020, he decided to take a look at himself and decided to do something about it and changed his diet and started an exercse routine so he could get healthy.

He said his health became worrisome at the end of 2019 when covid hit as he felt tired and could barely walk up the stairs without getting out of breath

Batalan said he looked in the mirror without his shirt on and said "It was ridiculous. I could not believe i let myself get this fat".

He would then begin his weight loss journey and went to a gym and started lifting weights and it shows as audiences can now see a much slimmer Batalan in No Way Home.

He is also shooting his new Syfy series in Vancouver called FAT VAMPIRE of which he becomes the unlikely fat hero as the outcast in this comedy drama.

Do you think he will get less roles now that he's losing weight?

He was too fat to play Ned Leeds, so now he's at least an appropriate body type, particularly if he's going to portray the Hobgoblin (or be framed as such)

Plus it's easier for thin actors to get roles than heavy ones. Chris Pratt lost a small amount of weight and his career skyrocketed.

Not big into spider comics but playing miles morales I noticed his friend had a lot of similarity to this guy im the movies. Even mentioned of "the guy in the chair"

Something Idk about? Or is it just a nod to the movies?

It's a comic book trope in general. Even DC shows had similar lines.

Movie Peter has so far had a lot in common with Miles Morales, though that will likely change going forward

Uh I mean it was down to even being very similar looking and acting is what I meant. Like Oracle is hardly comparable

In the comics, Miles has a friend who knows his identity, named Ganke.

Ned in the MCU is basically Ganke but he's Peter's friend instead.

Ok. They just seemed too similar for it to be coincidence to me

Ned Leeds is an actual comic character too.

And the only hope that we might see a movie version of Hobgoblin... although Doc Connors was around for three Spidey movies yet we didn't se the Lizard until the ASM reboot.

Ned Leeds was just a fall-guy for the real Hobgoblin, and there have been several characters to wear the mantle (most notably Roderick Kingsley)

...although iirc the original Hobgoblin was supposed to be Roderick's twin brother, but then they wrote out the existence of the twin brother.
