The web-slinger is back!
After weeks of contemplating who will be cast as Spidey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we now finally have our new Spider-Man. Marvel and Sony Pictures have decided to cast 19-year-old Tom Holland ("The Impossible", "How I Live Now") to play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the MCU. He is rumored to appear in next year's "Captain America: Civil War", but is confirmed to play Parker in the Jon Watts directed "Spider-Man" solo film coming in 2017.
Kevin Feige commented as Jon Watts as the director of "Spider-Man" saying, “As with James Gunn, Joss Whedon, and the Russo brothers, we love finding new and exciting voices to bring these characters to life. We spent a lot of time with Jon and find his take and work inspiring.”
Although Asa Butterfield ("Ender's Game") was always my preferred choice, Holland seems to be a good fit for the role. Seeing him in both "The Impossible" and "How I Live Now", I can say that he has the chops to pull of Peter Parker and Spider-Man. So I'm excited to see Spidey swinging with the Avengers soon!
What do you think of our new Spider-Man?
