Bullying wasn’t really a thing, so when they cast Flash Thompson they knew they didn’t need a 6ft 5in jock to beat Peter Parker up.
The film follows Peter as he takes on iconic villains like The Vulture (Michael Keaton) and Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine), all while balancing the daily struggles of life as a high school loner.
When Tom Holland made his onscreen debut as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Marvel’s Captain America: Civil War last year, it marked the beginning of a new era for the beloved superhero on the big screen.
After making a first impression last year, though, Holland is getting his first chance to prove himself in his own standalone film later this year with Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecoming.
