Posted June 23, 201510 yr It's Tom Holland! Actor Tom Holland has been cast as the next live-action Spider-Man. Holland is a nineteen year old English actor, who was born in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. He is best known for playing the lead role in Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Place Theatre, London and for starring in the movie The Impossible. He also played Gregory Cromwell in the Wolf Hall TV mini-series. Holland will become the third actor to play Spider-Man in a big budget motion picture, following in the footsteps of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Maguire starred in the first three Spider-Man movies, while Garfield starred in the most recent two Amazing Spider-Man movies. “Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world" Sony Executive Amy Pascal told Marvel.com "With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” In February of this year, Marvel and Sony Pictures announced that they had reached an agreement to work together on the cinematic future of Spider-Man. As part of the deal, the new Spider-Man will first appear in Captain America: Civil War, before starring in a solo Spider-Man movie to be released on July 28, 2017.Amazing news! Once I'd heard he was one of the favourites to play Spider-Man, I was hoping it'd be him. Such a huge talent. Just his role in 'The Impossible' proved to me that he has a ridiculous amount of potential and a huge career ahead of him! Very excited.
June 23, 201510 yr I liked him in the impossible so could be a very good choice :wub: (Though I thought he was like 14 :kink:)
June 23, 201510 yr Author Oops! I even commented after with the correct way! :( Dunno what happened tbh! :P I agree UV! I also thought he was much younger than 19! No older than 16, anyway!
June 23, 201510 yr I approve. Really enjoyed "The Impossible" and he has the cute factor for me now. Ditto the comments about his age though, he looked about 13 in "The Impossible" and it wasn't that long ago. :lol:
June 23, 201510 yr Well, it's a big YES from me. (assuming we get a not at all gratuitous scene of him shirtless)
