Well, we do like the actors and think they should continue to play the characters again. This time, under a competent studio who actually knows how to plan a cinematic universe.

Adam would be a great uncle Ben for Tom’s Peter, of course it would just be flashbacks or maybe his imagination but it would be great for a grounded Spider-Man 4

Adam Scott would be an excellent Peter B Parker type variant for Spider-Man

They are all great actors, playing characters that people like, so naturally we want them in a competent movie thats actually in the MCU; which they most likely thought they were going to be in anyway.
