I like Tom Holland. Marvel really nailed it by casting him as Peter Parker for Spider-Man. And the boy has got some serious talent. Check these out from his Instagram:
Thanks for the links -- Spiderman has always been my favorite comic book hero, he's easily one of the most relatable characters. I know I loved the idea of an awkward teenager who beat the villains with a combination of intelligence and ability. Spiderman was only in Civil War for about two minutes but after five other movies I finally saw a character that felt like had jumped off the page. The next Spiderman movie can't get here soon enough and I thought I'd never say that after the last three bombs.
Love it. (And man... I've missed your blog, Michael... and you!!!! It's been too long. Glad to be back to blogging.) I hope so much you're well. You're one of my favorite people.
He's the right amount of geek for the role.
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to see how good his solo movie is.

ReplyDeleteI think he was a good pick. He brings back the Maguire that Garfield didn't have.
ReplyDeleteI lost interest after Tobey Maguire so maybe this new casting will draw me back.
ReplyDeleteTom seems like a perfect fit.
ReplyDeleteGood. Nice to hear they got the casting right.
ReplyDeleteI trust your judgment in this. Casting is so important in any movie--if we don't believe the actor, we won't believe anything.
