Last week, we heard a variety of different stories concerningMarvel and Sony’s newSpider-Manreboot planned for 2017. Some rumors claimed that the two studios were at a standstill, and arguing over who should bePeter Parker. While nothing is confirmed,Asa Butterfieldno longer appears to be in the running. The two final candidates are said to beTom HollandandCharlie Rowe. But no announcement has been made, and it isn’t expected soon. While we wait to hear who will be ournew Spider-Man,Tom Hollandhas decided to up his ante bysharing instagram videosthat show off exactly why he should be the new Peter Parker.
In three different videos, apparently shot at theyoung actor’s house, Tom Holland performs an increasingly difficult series of flips off his porch. He starts with a front flip, and ends with a pretty Amazing backflip. If he is chosen to become Spider-Man, it’s clear he’ll be doing some of his own stunts. In fact, this looks particularly dangerous, and brings into question the insurance policy the studio will have to take out on the young star. He could easily break his neck doing something like this.
Tom Hollandis best known for his role inThe Impossible, and at 19-years-old, is perfectly in the range to play a High School Peter Parker over a number of films leading into 2021. The story of the rebooted trilogy will reportedly span three years in the High School life of the web-slinging superhero, though no other details have been revealed at this time. It is believed, but has yet to be confirmed, that the new Peter Parker will first show up in next summer’sCaptain America: Civil War, which is currently shooting in Atlanta. It is believed that Sony wantsTom Hollandas their newSpider-Man, while Marvel wantsCharlie Rowe. Though, some reports claim that Marvel is also keen on bringing inCharlie Plummer. Will either of those actors show off their own stunt abilities this week? Or isTom Hollandthe clear winner here?
