Tom Holland's captivating performance and athleticism secured him the coveted role of Spider-Man, beating out 1,500 other actors. The director highlighted Holland's youthful charm, impressive acrobatics, and undeniable screen presence as key factors in his selection.
At 19, Tom Holland beat 1,500 actors for the 'Spider-Man' role: He had 'the charisma, the confidence, the energy,' director says. Marvel Studios conducted a worldwide search to find the actor who would portray its famous wall-crawling superhero. Holland reportedly beat out many other contenders.
With a background in dance and acrobatics, including a lead turn in a West End production of 'Billy Elliot,' Holland leaned on his athleticism to help convince decision-makers that he was their Spider-Man. His 'He just was so young and sweet, and just charming, and then in the audition, he did a full backflip, like a standing backflip, in addition to being really great on tape,' director Jon Watts told Men's Health in a recent profile of the actor. 'It was like watching a video of the real Peter Parker.' 'Avengers: Endgame' director Anthony Russo noted in the profile that Holland's flip when entering a scene was helpful in getting him the role. 'He was all the things that reminded me of what I loved about Peter Parker as a kid,' Russo said. 'And he was a movie star. He had that movie-star quality. The charisma, the confidence, the energy.' Though his ability to fly through the air helped him land one of the hottest roles in the world, Holland admits that he might not be doing all his own stunts for too much longer. Now 28, the Brit says his body doesn't react to physical stresses quite the way it used to. He told the magazine that when a younger cousin asked him to do a backflip for them, he didn't hesitate. 'I actually did land it, but I pulled every muscle in my stomach,' he said. 'For weeks, I couldn't laugh because my stomach was so sore.
