Spider-Man: Homecoming's Tom Holland on becoming his favourite superheroSpider-Man: Homecoming's Tom Holland on becoming his favourite superheroBob Strauss - Cineplex Magazine7/5/2017 1:50:00 Pm
The third time should, at least, be charming.
That’s because Tom Holland is playing the friendly neighborhood webslinger in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Exuberant and super-friendly, the 21-year-old English actor is the third person to play Marvel Comics’ most popular superhero on the big screen since the turn of the century. And if the overeager, sarcastic teen approach to Peter Parker that he introduced in last year’s Captain America: Civil War is maintained, we’ll have a much different wall crawler than with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s angstier interpretations.
“I tried to bring a lot of levity to the character, so at every opportunity I got I was trying to crack jokes and be the wise guy,” says Holland over the phone.
