Hilary Duff is in the running for a role in the Spider-Man reboot.

The actress was seen with a script entitled Spider-Man with a character called 'Girl' highlighted, The Globe and Mail newspaper reports.

If the 22-year-old babe is auditioning for the lead female role in the superhero movie, it is believed she would be up against Emma Roberts, Imogen Poots and Ophelia Lovibond for the role.

However, it has previously been claimed the new movie – which sees British actor Andrew Garfield take on the role of Peter Parker, previously played by Tobey Maguire – would not feature Mary Jane Watson, the lead female previously portrayed by Kirsten Dunst.

Duff recently appeared in Gossip Girl in 2009, but has a number of movies rumoured to be coming up in 2011, including Dolphin's Tale (a story centered on the friendship between a boy and a dolphin whose tail was lost in a crab trap!) and a thriller called The Gift Horse.

She is also working on The Story of Bonnie and Clyde (as Bonnie) alongside Thora Birch, which is due for an American release later this year.
