Tom Holland cast as the next live action Spiderman in Marvel's superhero franchise
British actor Tom Holland is Sony Pictures and Marvel Studio's new choice for the new Spider-Man in the coveted Hollywood superhero franchise. The first standalone film, directed by Jon Watts, will be released worldwide on July 28, 2017, the entertainment giant’s announced in a press release. Sony Pictures and Marvel, looking forward to get back to Spidey's schoolboy beginnings in the comics' tradition, picked the up-and-coming teen to play Peter Parker. "We saw many terrific young actors, but Tom's screen tests were special. All in all, we are off to a roaring start," said Tom Rothman, Chairman Sony Pictures Motion Pictures Group.
Holland is a nineteen year old English actor, who was born in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. He has been acclaimed for his best known performance in playing the lead role in Billy Elliot the musical. He also starred in numerous films like The impossible and Gregory Cromwell in the Wolf Hall TV mini-series. He became the third actor to play the big budget motion picture, following by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
In an interview to Collider Magazine, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had stated, "In terms of the age of an actor we'll eventually cast, I don't know. In terms of the age of what we believe Peter Parker is, I'd say 15-16 is right. Some of my favorite Spider-Man arcs and Spider-Man stories, he's in high school for a lot of it. We want to explore that. That also makes him very, very different from any of our other characters in the (Marvel Cinematic Universe), which is something else we want to explore: how unique he is when now put against all these other characters."
"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."
