So here he is, everybody. 19-year-old Tom Holland has been cast as the new Spidey, and he's the second Brit in a row to land the part (I don't know why that bugs me, but it kinda does- how come no American actors are good enough?). Marvel's approach to this is to make it new is to cast someone who looks 12, apparently, which...yeah, I guess that'll give it a different feel without having to do anything else. He'll be making his first appearance in Captain America 3, which is currently filming, and he was screen tested with both Chris Evans and Robert Downey, Jr. Of course, he'll get his own movie soon enough, for which Jon Watts was hired to direct. Who, you say? Yeah, he did some movie called Cop Car with Kevin Bacon, but that screams studio puppet to me. I'm not familiar with this Holland kid at all- his breakthrough role was in The Impossible a few years ago, so I have no real idea what we're in for with him. I guess we'll find out soon enough, since Captain America: Civil War comes out next May.
