Not sure why it matters where he's from.

I'm sure we all knew Wolverine wasn't an Aussie.

Exactly. It doesn't. Yet some people still love to moan about it.

 

[Krowley]

The kid definitely looks the part. Don't know the director at all, but it's interesting that they've decided to go with a relative unknown.

 

[Squalor]

Because they took er jerbs.

Why don't you Brits go make your own superheroes? Haha.

 

[SimleuqiR]

The Impossible is on Netflix, think I’ll watch it later this week.

Here are some more "Parker-like" pictures of Tom Holland from his instagram:

Yeah...I can see him as teenage Spidey without a problem.
Good choice Marvel.

 

[NastyBook]

Too bad Proactive doesn't bite.

Between this and the sugar coating line, GAF is on a fucking roll today.

Some of these need to be added to the OP.

I hope the set pics get leaked early with him in a suit.

Captain Britain to debut in 2021.

 

[KevinRo]

OFC he's english. I guess The Atlantic was right. Rise of the english actor taking over American films.

 

[STILLethal]

His whole IG is Spider-like..........

 

[Kevinroc]

Captain Britain to debut in 2021.

I, for one, would love to see a multiversal action-adventure superhero movie.

 

[Squalor]

I, for one, would love to see a multiversal action-adventure superhero movie.

Movie opens:

Captain Britain: *Makes phone call* Captain America, there's a war. I need your help.

*American Superheroes played by British actors save the day.*

THE END

 

[TheSeks]

Too bad Proactive doesn't bite.

CGI pimple smoothing tech will be on point, though?

I cannot get past his giant mole on the chin.

he removed it, is everyone ignoring the IG pictures or what?

 

[pixelation]

thank god

Totally... i would've been uber bummed if that Butt... whatever guy had gotten the role. *phew*

 

[WadiumArcadium]

But he's got a mole on his chin!!!111

 

[Maximus.]

There it is, cool.

I really liked Garfield as Spider-Man, but that series sucked so bad as a whole. Can't wait to see Spider-Man in the MCU!

 

[guek]

Just as a reminder; Paul Rudd and RDJ were the only two "big names" marvel ever hired for lead roles. Chris Evans' career was in slums, Chris Hemsworth was a soap actor, Tom Hiddleston could go unnoticed in Los Angeles, and Chris pratt was that fat guy from parks and rec. And please don't look up the resume of the Russo bros, if you think they were big before winter soldier.

Oh for sure. I'm just being cautious with relatively unproven talent is all.

 

[STILLethal]

But he's got a mole on his chin!!!111

Why you gotta be so rude? Don't you know he's Spider-human too?

 

[Merc_]

It's finally over.

I think he'll do fine, but I'm mostly just happy the casting search is done with now. I'm still not happy about Black Panther being push back for this though.

 

[Edgy Murphy]

I'm excited for the new Spider-Man with Holland. I'm pretty excited to see where they take the character in the reboot in the MCU!!!

Spoiler

Tobey Maguire will always be Spider-Man in my heart.

 

[Blader]

Odds are we'll see more Black Panther than Spider-Man in Civil War next year at least.

 

[Symphonic]

Wow, those Instagram pics seal the deal.

Getting excited.

 

[Squalor]

Odds are we'll see more Black Panther than Spider-Man in Civil War next year at least.

Well, considering they've already set up the character, that's pretty obvious.

Put that shit in the OP. I can see it and are properly hyped. Better than Garfield for sure (i don't hate him but he has smug/douche vibe/expression i just can't shake off)

HYPE !!!

Cool, holy shit though now's my time to feel old. Spiderman is younger than me

Read this title as Tom Waits chosen as Spiderman

Sigh

What could have been

An inspired choice that would have been.

 

[Wafflecakes]

Not the worst choice. We will see how it turns out.

 

[Hale-XF11]

He looks like the perfect young Spider-Man, but geezuz, how many reboots, remakes or reimaginings is Spidey gonna get?

 

[SykoTech]

....eh. Alright.

Somewhat expecting mediocrity again, but hoping for the best.

As many as it takes to stick

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Ewww... Garfield is better. And i loved the two Amazing Spiderman Movies. Really sad.

 

[highrider]

I like the kid, he seems ideal. However I am feeling somewhat self conscious of my facial mole now.

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Ewww... Garfield is better. And i loved the two Amazing Spiderman Movies. Really sad.

I thought Garfield was great as well but you can't say he's better without seeing Holland in action as Spidey.

 

[gtj1092]

Thought you had to be a big star to get big roles thats why Hollywood cast the way it does ;-).

 

[Lagamorph]

Never heard of Tom Holland.
Looked up his IMDB page and I still have no idea who he is.

Guess I'll have to wait and see how he does, but he's gonna have to be damned good to beat Garfield.

 

[Caj814]

Seems like he's really passionate about playing the role I hope everything works out for the ki-

Spider-Manziel

Marvel were pretty transparent from the start that they wanted a kid to play high school Peter.

For height reference, here's a shot with Holland and Hemsworth for a movie they have coming out.

Well Thor is suppose to tower over the rest of the Avengers so Tom Spidey is the perfect height!

But that's...Peter Parker. What other kind of Peter were you expecting?

I phrased that badly, I was hoping for Miles

 

[Neoxon]

For height reference, here's a shot with Holland and Hemsworth for a movie they have coming out.

Considering that Thor is supposed to be a physical beast, I say the Thor-to-Spidey ratio works.

 

[Slayven]

The original Doc Ock Spidey? Man, you always pick the weirdest characters.

My tastes are esoteric what can I say? But I hate Spiderman 2211, motherfucker messes up the trend of Spidermen having the best duds in the superhero game.

 

[HariKari]

Bigger deal seems like the bargain bin director. Does he have any upside at all?

 

[Akahige]

Holland was great in The Impossible, I like this choice.

I have not heard of the director or "Cop Car".
