Tom Holland on the red carpet
This summer of cinema is packed with exciting blockbusters, with one of the most hotly anticipated marking the final stop on the road to Doomsday. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is scheduled to swing into theaters on July 31, and many are anticipating big things for Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker now that he lives in a world where no one remembers him.
A couple of weeks ago, Sony's release of a pulse-racing trailer officially generated 718.6 million views globally within its first 24 hours, making it the most-watched trailer launch of all time and cementing Brand New Day's position among the upper echelons of the must-watch list for 2026. But way before he was starring in record-breaking trailers and headlining summer blockbusters, Holland made his debut in a movie that arguably features his best performance to date. The Impossible, released in 2012 and produced when Holland was just 14 years old, is a survival thriller based on the terrifying true story of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Replacing the real Belón-Alvarez family in the film are the Bennett family, comprised of Maria and Henry , their eldest child, Lucas , and two other sons, Thomas and Simon . Following his success on the stage at just 13 years old in Billy Elliot: The Musical, Holland was the perfect pick for young Lucas, as he used his acrobatic balance and clear emotional maturity to hold his own against veteran performers like Watts and McGregor. If you'd like to check out Holland's breakout performance for yourself before the release of Brand New Day, you're in luck, as The Impossible will be available to stream for free on Plex this April.
