The new Spider-Man has been chosen! "Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are proud to announce that after a full worldwide casting search, Tom Holland [1] will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man film, in theaters in IMAX and 3D on July 28, 2017," the studios revealed in a press release. Holland, 19, scored the part despite Marvel's countless screen tests with frontrunner Asa Butterfield and other up-and-coming actors [2]. The young actor has starred in The Impossible, as Naomi Watts [3]'s son, and he will be seen in Ron Howard's epic drama In the Heart of the Sea this December. Holland will first appear as the character in Captain America: Civil War [4] next year before his standalone Spider-Man movie, which will be directed by Jon Watts, hits theaters in 2017. Get ready to see Spidey take on the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a big way!
