For sometime there has been speculation and rumour regarding who would take on the role for the next lineup of the Spider-Man movie’s, with popular actors such as Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield who have previously played both the roles of Spider-Man there is a lot of high expectation.
Today Marvel announced the young actor who will take on the new persona of Spider-Man, 19 year old English actor and dancer Tom Holland, not the most famous or desirable of all the possible actors on the list. In 2012 he played a role in The Impossible alongside Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, He also just recently finished filming In the Heart of the Sea with avengers’ Chris Hemsworth.
If Tom Hollands sudden rise to fame isn’t enough to prove to you that he could play Spider-Man, his Instagram videos have footage of him performing acrobatics should seal the deal. Check out a video below!

Tom Holland surely has the acrobatic technique to leap over obstacles or stop evil doers in their tracks, be sure to check out the various videos of his flips and jumps to reassure yourself that the portrayal of Spidey is in the right hands (or legs).
Aside from revealing the final choice for the role; it also revealed the director Jon Watts is set to join the crew. So far this lineup is starting to take form very nicely, finally now that Spidey is back in Marvel’s hands.
Do you think Tom Holland can do the web slinger justice?
Thank you to MoviePilot for providing us with this information.
Am i the only one who actually like Andrew Garfield as spiderman?
Probably :p
It’s not just the actors, it’s the movies.
Spiderman I and II with Maguire where more than good. I still enjoy seeing the train scene in II or Dunst’s expression when see realizes who Spiderman is from II. The first was also very good with Dafoe doing a good job. The third was more of a “let’s show more effects and create a little stupid and unrealistic drama between the couple”. The two new Spidermans? There are two right? I have seen them recently and I don’t even remember what where about. What was the story, who was the bad guy, who actor was in it.
