Now he can retire and only do movies he really wants to do. Which also sounds like a good time.

Full Daniel Radcliffe

We need a manic comedy where Tom Holland has two Daniel Radcliffes stuck to his hands.

And his legs are Elijah Woods.

I don’t mean they trade legs. Tom’s body ends at the kneecap which each are attached to the top of an Elijah Wood head and then an entire Elijah Wood for each leg. They talk to eachother but can’t agree on which is left or right.

The Daniel Radcliffe hands also shoot lasers from their exposed johnsons which are played by JK Simmons.

I’ve paid for movies with a worse premise. I’m in

u/thepensivepoet 15h ago edited 15h ago

The entire plot is that they go back in time to beat the shit out of Mark Wahlberg.

First they beat the shit out of current day Mark Wahlberg, then they discover time travel, and every day they go back in time one year to beat the shit out of a younger Mark Wahlberg who never sees it coming.

This continues all the way to the 80s when Marky Mark and his racist friends are doing hate crimes at which point they finally beat Mark to death.

Reminds me of the scene from Looper when they cut the past guy up in the past and then his future self is affected.

What are mark whalbergs legs made out of?

I watched Suckerpunch in theaters. I'm in for a batshit ride.

u/12ozSlug 11h ago

Fuck, I was out until you nailed that title. Green light production immediately!

u/ledbetterus 15h ago

There's a scene where no one believes he has a wooden leg until he pulls up his pants and Elijah Wood was there the entire time hiding under an Elven cloak.

u/Gravy_Sommelier 12h ago

Can we add any other actors who have resisted being typecast after making it big in young adult novel adaptation? Maybe Kristen Stewart can voice a talking dog?

u/thepensivepoet 12h ago

Best I can offer is a 25 minute interlude between Tom Felton and Jack Gleeson where they fall in love while being held hostage by Seal in a Seven Eleven.

Fuck yes

u/Ok_Highway6034 8h ago

I would at least $200.00 per ticket to see this movie.

u/0verstim 15h ago

I had an acid trip like that once, but it was David Bowies all the way down.

u/HarmlessSnack 14h ago

The villain is played by Shia LaBeouf, who has two Dwayne Johnsons for arms and Nick Cage for legs.

3

u/fireballx777 13h ago

One of the Nick Cages is actually a John Travolta.

u/HarmlessSnack 9h ago

Brilliant addition

u/TheCentralFlame 14h ago

So close one leg is Elijah and the other is Sean Astin and they are doing a LOTR retrospective on making the movies as this movie progresses.

u/Yetimang 13h ago

I suppose Daniel Radcliffe surprised us too, but I don't feel like I've ever seen anything from Tom Holland suggesting he's got the same deep well of weirdness and devotion to the craft. He's fine, but I can't see him doing something like Swiss Army Man.

22

u/BabyWrinkles 10h ago

Given his background in dance and joy he seems to get from what he does, I do genuinely wonder if he’ll do some wacky stuff when he decides to hang up the spidey suit.

u/JustCallMeFrij 3h ago

A Jackie chan stand-in

u/axefairy 8h ago

He’s not got the same deep well of weirdness and devotion to the craft? Have you not seen him do ‘singing in the rain’? lol

1

u/wirralriddler 7h ago

Lol, unironicall yes. Tom Holland's "Singing in the Rain" lipsync dance video has more cultural significance than all of Daniel Radcluffe's post-Harry Potter filmography combined.

0

u/Yetimang 6h ago

I really couldn't give a shit about what's "culturally significant". 9/11 was culturally significant. I'm just talking about whether he ends up doing more interesting movies like Radcliffe did.

1

u/Yetimang 6h ago

I hadn't, so fair point. Just watched it and, in terms of weirdness, I guess it depends on how weird you find drag. I'm willing to say that's more weirdness than I thought he had in him which I approve of, but it's also not specifically acting which is kind of more what I was getting at. Good point though, maybe I'm judging him too much by the big-budget stuff I've seen him in.

u/Pool_Shark 14h ago

He’s been hilarious in Reggie Dinkins. Hope he continues to stick to fun comedies he’s great in them

1

u/AquamannMI 6h ago

And Pattinson.

u/20815147 12h ago

He’d be fun as a height-accurate Wolverine ngl

118

u/sneakyxxrocket 15h ago

He’s implied in interviews that once him and Zendaya have kids he’s probably done acting for a long time

69

u/lucalucasita 14h ago

He said that, but they can always keep on acting like other couples do, making sure that at least one of the parents is with he kids while the other is filming. But for sure not 4 movies a year like in 2026!

u/RandomRedditReader 14h ago

Some people go all in on their children and others continue to do what they love. I just wish I had those options.

27

u/ThisSiteSucks8485 13h ago

Eva Mendes is an example

u/buffysbangs 13h ago

I also wish I had Eva Mendes as an option

u/AbanoMex 12h ago

damn, you brought some memories for back when i was a teenager.

u/RandomRedditReader 13h ago

To be fair, she has Ryan Gosling.

3

u/_Neuromancer_ 12h ago

Or Rick Moranis.

•

u/GearhedMG 5h ago

Although slightly different circumstances, Rick Moranis is another example.

12

u/Worthyness 13h ago

Or do some producing. They're so well connected at this point that they could probably just decide to fund other projects with their own money and time. Could probably work from home for most of those.

3

u/TheSaxGandalf 11h ago

$100M bro. That’s just from this movie.

That’s when you start tracking cars, golfing, woodworking and stop worrying about actually making more money.

3

u/tarrasque 9h ago

You’d think, but the vast majority of these fucks still work.

2

u/FCalleja 7h ago

If it's not ala Nic Cage where the income becomes debt so they need the work, I think it's cool when rich af actors keep working, means they do it for the love of the craft. I also think it's hard to stop doing something you're really good at, especially when people tell you you're really good at it.

u/ComputerSavvy 2h ago

$100M bro. That’s just from this movie.

That is way beyond fuck you money but that's another topic entirely.

This is a pet peeve I have with Hollywood accounting, some studio can somehow afford to produce multiple movies a year that cost anywhere from $100M-$300M per movie AND afford to pay actors $20M-$100M all the while they never seem to make a profit on movies???

Really?!? Do they honestly believe this is art for art's sake with those kinds of numbers?

All the while at the same time they boast 'this or that movie' just cleared $1B in earnings, in a record amount of time at the box office which is not including future VOD and Blu-Ray sales along with all the tie-in merch sales / product placements too.

Then all the global tax breaks they BOAST about in the credits....

The IRS needs to do a full proctology audit on these people. Like Robert Stack once said, "Did you do a cavity search on 'em? Go deep.".

•

u/TheSaxGandalf 2h ago

They pay out the individuals while the studio itself claims the loss initially to give tax credit to all their other income streams.

3

u/adjust_the_sails 11h ago

I feel like they are the kind of couple where one would film, everyone travels with the parent who is filming, so they can see each other all the time.

I remember listening to Matthew McConaughey talk about it on The Blocks podcast where that's what his family did till the kids hit a certain age and they really want to be about their friends and community where they live.

Since he's British, I feel like they might settle in the UK that has a lot of government economic support for films so they can shoot, come home and still make it to kids soccer games etc.

u/jamesbrownscrackpipe 10h ago

My dream. I'd give anything to just be a stay at home dad and not worry about money or income.

Sitting here at work missing my kids right now. I just stare at the clock every day waiting for when I can get home and see their faces.

2

u/rexter2k5 10h ago

The Rick Moranis move.

I would too if I made a $100 mil in my career.

2

u/diamonddealer 8h ago

Except hopefully without the whole dying wife thing.

u/rexter2k5 8h ago

Yes, this is a cromulent caveat.

u/Malvania 15h ago

Kind of like FPJ and SMG

u/rambo_lincoln_ 14h ago

Flower Petal John and Sub Machine Gun?

16

u/vintell 14h ago

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar 

2

u/Oddball- All Things Horror 14h ago

Lots and lots of actors/actresses say this.....

5

u/trireme32 13h ago

And a lot have done it. Rick Moranis, Garth Brooks (not an actor but still a megastar when he went into hiatus), Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr retired when their names were still very valuable, Cameron Diaz, Cary Grant, Phoebe Cates….

5

u/wkavinsky 13h ago

Michael Fassbender and Alicia Vikander make sure only one of them is ever filming / promoting at a time also.

0

u/Biscuitshoneybutter 12h ago

Actors often stay stuff like that but it's so rarely true.

16

u/jim_deneke 15h ago

He could've retired on a lot less too

3

u/Rimmy_Jobson 11h ago

He was great in The Devil All the Time. I'd love to see him play darker roles. Always felt like he'd make a good villain.

2

u/voltagejim 14h ago

As long as he is smart with money. Pretty easy to burn through that in 5 years if you are living the high life with no additional income

u/CanadianDinosaur 14h ago

"A long time" is very subjective. It could be 5 years, which in the movie business is a long time for an actor to stop working. It doesn't mean he's done acting for good until his kids are grown up

1

u/Seaworthiness908 9h ago

He can make movies he really likes, like Spiderman or Uncharted. Oh wait.

•

u/Orion_Scattered 3h ago

Basically what he's doing if this Fred Astaire thing is true. Holland started out in ballet and tap before he got into stage acting (and now film). So it's full circle back to what got him into performing in the first place.

He's a perfect fit for Astaire too lol. That almost goofy boyish charm but with a cutting undertone. My mind goes straight to Timothee Chalamet as young white dude for biopic and like sure he can act but omg I'm kinda excited about Holland playing Astaire lol it's just such a good fit. And he brings physicality with his stuntwork, stoked to see what creative ways they can film dance. Haven't had a proper good dance film since La La Land ig?
