But Avengers directors Joe and Anthony Russo recently explained that Marvel Studios initially faced resistance from Sony when attempting to cast Holland.
But what fans probably couldn’t have predicted was that the studios would find such a perfect Spider-Man actor in Tom Holland.
Back in 2015, superhero fans were surprised and delighted when it was announced that Marvel Studios and Sony had reached a historic agreement to share the rights to Spider-Man.
Holland has received acclaim for his performance as Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter-ego since his first appearance, leading one to assume he was a shoo-in for the role.
