Take a good look at that face above and get used to seeing it a lot in the next couple of years (up to a decade perhaps) because that guy, Tom Holland, is the new Spider-Man.
Holland ("The Impossible", "Wolf Hall", "In the Heart of the Sea") will be the third actor to don the famous blue and red mask with a standalone Spider-Man film set to release on July 28, 2017.
Producers Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal also picked Jon Watts ("Cop Car") to direct.
“Sony, Marvel, Kevin and I all knew that for Peter Parker, we had to find a vibrant, talented young actor capable of embodying one of the most well-known characters in the world. With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
Spider-Man is Sony Pictures' most successful film franchise with its five films raking in more than $4 billion worldwide.
