A british Spider-Man?

so was the last one

 

[gazele]

He looks... really young. Could almost pass as a middle schooler.

He's 19, probably will be a freshman in high school

Glad this is finally over even though its not who I would have chosen

 

[JDSN]

I bet Marvel is requesting money to that director.

 

[AlteredForms]

I remember him starring in 'How I Live Now' and found the entire film to be quite enjoyable. Hopefully he'll be accepted by the American crowd and do a good job with the character.

 

[RustyNails]

Who is this baby. He is no man. Next spiderman is gonna be a fucking embryo if the steady slide in age continues.

 

[Neoxon]

Man did I choose the right time to get back on GAF.

I recall hearing that Tom Holland was Sony's choice, but I guess Marvel was also cool with the choice. Either way, I'm not one to judge their casting decisions, so I'm down.

 

[DxGonzalo]

That chin wart already bothers me

I will never be able to not look at that. Hype ruined. This guy is not a character I want to watch for 90+ minutes

 

[LiK]

Congrats to him. Please don't fuck it up

 

[Buddha Beam]

Spider-Manziel

He really, really needs to get that thing on his chin lasered off.

 

[BronsonLee]

They got an actor and a director they can leash.

Probably. Seems like Holland is a bit more athletic than most, too? Maybe do more stunt work?

 

[Kain]

A british Spider-Man? Judging by his looks, origin story pretty much confirmed.

And a british Superman, brah.

 

[Squalor]

A british Spider-Man?

That's, basically, what Garfield was.

He was born here, but raised in England.

 

[Retrocide]

He was pretty good in the Impossible...we'll see

 

[ryan299]

They got another indie filmmaker to direct it. Bad decision.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

I hope they cover up the chin or I won't be able to focus on the movie

 

[Sky Interloper]

so was the last one

And a british Superman, brah.

That's, basically, what Garfield was.

He was born here, but raised in England.

Ah, I see. Didn't know that Garfield grew up in the UK.

 

[Stinkles]

Spider-Manziel

I mean...


It's barely even caricature. If someone drew him at a funfair...

 

[NotLiquid]

Good luck Marvel. Let's try getting it right this time.

Casting an unknown director is quite a ballsy move but then I have to wonder whether they can pave way for new blood.

 

[jett]

LOL it's one the directors of Our Robocop Remake.

That's a choice, I guess.

edit: nevermind, that movie was "directed" by like 100 different people.

 

[LiK]

CHIN-GATE

 

[Elginer]

Perfect.

 

[Kyne]

God damn gaf loves its outdated/poor portraits.

 

[The Hermit]

hmmmm

I dont know what to say

 

[bud]

according to google, he's 168m/5'5".

is he the shortest spider-man yet?

 

[scabro]

that thing on his chin is pretty distracting

 

[Ithil]

Thomas Holland (born 1968) is a British writer and historian, who has published several popular works on classical and medieval history as well as creating two documentaries.

Probably not the one they meant.

 

[Broken Joystick]

Same age as me
Same country

Fuck,GAF, I had a chance of being Spider-Man

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

 

[alr1ght]

They're going to make the spider bite the mole.

 

[Stinkles]

that thing on his chin is pretty distracting

$100 million dollar CG miracle.

 

[Rootbeer]

People bugging about the mole should chill. He doesn't have it anymore. Check his insta.

[Kuroyume]

I want weird casting like Paul Giamatti as Rhino. Maybe they should cast Dany Devito as Venom.

 

[Black Republican]

never heard of any of them

 

[krypt0nian]

 

[Interfectum]

Spider-Mol....an

 

[styl3s]

Do we know who is writing because Jon Watts directing has dropped my hype from a 10 to like a 5. Tom Holland is fine.

 

[Neoxon]

This is honestly a better picture of Tom Holland.

 

[L1NETT]

it's Cromwell's son from Wolf Hall!

ha good on him

 

[Jarmel]

Not sure what to make of any of this.

 

[LiK]

He needs to nerd it back up

 

[privitsan02]

that chin mole is buginn the fuck out of me

You're not the only one.

I guess this is a Netflix watch then. First time I'm skipping out on a Spider-Man movie ever.

Best wishes.

 

[Dead]

 

[RustyNails]

Were the Garfield Spidey movies bomba? Why are they doing a reboot so soon? We will have gone through 3 reboots in 15 years.

 

[Nibel]

A more recent pic

 

[jett]

The studios and producers were impressed by Holland’s performances in "The Impossible," “Wolf Hall,”

I recently watched Wolf Hall on Netflix. The whole thing.

I don't remember a single scene with this guy.

 

[The Hermit]

according to google, he's 168m/5'5".

is he the shortest spider-man yet?

whoa, I have the same height









I dunno why I posted, just happy to see spidey as tall as me

 

[sappyday]

This is him talking about the role before he was even considered

[Fj0823]

Yeah, cut the hair, put some glasses on, I can see it.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Tom Holland has Spidey skills for sure, just like the guy they casted as the Daredevil:

http://comicbook.com/2015/06/21/tom-holland-shows-he-has-the-skills-to-be-spider-man/

Very cool. These should be in the OP.

 

[excelsiorlef]

That's definitely a rational thing to say at this stage.
