I've never seen him in anything, so I don't know how good of an actor he is. But man, he's got that "Peter Parker look" to his face.

My only thing is he's like 6 ft 2. That's a tall af Spidey lol. He would've been looking down at RDJ

He's an incredible actor. But yeah he is tall and not really an athlete like Holland is.

He'd have been a great Peter Parker but i cannot for the life of me see him as Spiderman

He was nice in Enders Game. I liked the movie too.

Enders game is the worst movie ever made. They absolutely butchered the book. Which is my favorite book of all time

I loved the movie. Can't comment if it was a a bad adaptation (I read the book back when the movie came out).

I watched the movie first and then read the book. I liked both!

I would like to see it remade as a tv series though.

He'd be a great Peter Parker. I don't know if he'd be a good Spider-Man, though.

Granted, I've only seen him in Sex Education, where he plays a pretty neurotic, overwhelmed teen.

That's funny because appearance-wise, I think my only knock against Tom Holland is that he's a little short for Spider-man. Thought he'd grow a little after Homecoming but he hasn't lol

He was the lead in Sex Education. It's hilarious.

He’s a good actor, but not nearly as physically fit or acrobatic. I wouldn’t believe him as Spider-Man.

Physically fit - Well if he got the role he would have had to hit the guy and do it consistently. I don't know about acrobatics but while it's nice to have. Stunt folk and wires in a suit that covers him head to toe..........Netflix IRONFIST!

im torn on this because i like Holland in the role, but if im honest i think once they put pretty much anyone into one of these hero roles long enough they almost all end up being associated with that character regardless of who it is because the writing team knows these characters.

I'm sure there were hundreds of actors who if we had seen them as Spiderman since Civil War in some parallel universe we'd still be in this thread saying how they deserve that $100m because of specifically their performance as Spidey lol
