Producer Amy Pascal says, “(We) 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. With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Holland will reportedly make his debut as Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War and star in a new stand alone film scheduled to hit cinemas in July, 2017.
