While leaked call sheets and some rumours indicated that actor Jacob Batalon would be playing Ned Leeds in Spider-Man: Homecoming, we now have official confirmation via Batalon himself in a new interview. In a discussion with KHON2 News, Batalon confirmed his role as the classic Spider-Man character, but revealed that instead of being a Daily Bugle reporter, this version of Leeds is Peter Parker's best friend in high school.
"Well, Ned Leeds; I play Peter Parker's best friend in the film," Batalon said. "We are both in high school; we are about fifteen. And it's just about Peter dealing with being a superhero and going through puberty. He still has to worry about homework; he still has to worry about his crush liking him, while trying to save someone who's probably in a burning building. He can't tell anyone because he's not the cool kid, so he's just stuck with this really cool life that he can't tell anyone about."
