Spider-Man's Tom Holland - Meet the New Marvel Web-Slinger!

Tom Holland just landed the role of Spider-Man in Marvel’s reboot of the franchise and now you’re probably wondering… who is he?!

If you haven’t seen the 19-year-old actor yet on screen, you’re in for a treat when you do! He made his movie debut in 2012′s The Impossible as the son of Naomi Watts. The film followed a tourist family in Thailand caught in the destruction and aftermath of the 2004 tsunami. Tom‘s emotional performance was one of the most moving ones we’ve seen in recent years.

Tom got his start as a dancer and was cast in the musical Billy Elliott, first as a supporting character and later in the title role. It was only two months after leaving the show when he was cast in The Impossible and his career took off.

You will soon be able to see Tom in the upcoming film In the Heart of the Sea and you can also catch him in the BBC series Wolf Hall.
