Tom Holland seems like a really lovely chap. Outside playing Spider-Man in the MCU, the 24-year-old Brit is possibly best known for being unable to stop himself from leaking spoilers and his genuinely amazing performance of Rihanna’s ”Umbrella” during a lip sync battle. From his breakout turn in The Impossible to his watery adventure with Chris Hemsworth in In The Heart of the Sea, Holland proved himself versatile and talented even before he put on the Spidey suit. Lately though Holland seems to be exploring his dark side and it fits him well. Reuniting with his Captain America: Civil War,…

All of a sudden Tom Holland is everywhere. He’s got two movies out right now–the sci-fi thriller Chaos Walking and the drug/crime drama Cherry–and the latter is making its premiere on Apple TV+ this weekend after a limited run in theaters. He also recently wrapped production on the long-developing adaptation of the Uncharted video game franchise, and he’s currently working with director Jon Watts again on their third standalone Spider-Man adventure together, Spider-Man: No Way Home. In Cherry, based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical novel by Nico Walker, Holland stars as the title character, a young Cleveland man who joins the…

It was more than three and a half years ago when cameras began rolling on Chaos Walking, the sci-fi adventure movie starring Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home) and Daisy Ridley (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker). It’s finally seeing the light of day this week. Although production wrapped in late 2017, this film ended up destined to run the same gauntlet that most movies helmed by director Doug Liman do: reshoots, re-edits and rethinking, all in service of cobbling together something that its studio, Lionsgate this time, could call “releasable.” In the end, however, the behind-the-scenes story of the…

Tom Holland has two new movies out this month: the first, Cherry, arrived in theaters this past Friday (Feb. 26) ahead of a March 12 premiere on Apple TV+. It’s the first movie directed by Anthony and Joe Russo since Avengers: Endgame and has gotten a fair amount of attention and press. The second, Chaos Walking, will show up in theaters this coming Friday (March 5) and is an entirely different story altogether, Chaos Walking has gotten plenty of press–but all for the wrong reasons. Based on the novel The Knife of Letting Go by Patrick Ness, the first in…

Opening in theaters today (Friday, Feb. 26)–and before premiering on Apple TV+ next month–is Cherry, a drama based on the best-selling semi-autobiographical novel by Nico Walker. Tom Holland stars as the title character, a young Cleveland man who joins the Army after his girlfriend announces she is going away to college. He returns home from Iraq with PTSD, develops an opioid addiction, and eventually turns to bank robbery to support his habit. The often harrowing film is directed by Anthony and Joe Russo, making it the first motion picture directed by the Cleveland-born brothers since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, the highest…

While the world will get to see a lot of Tom Holland in 2021 — in the new movies Cherry and Chaos Walking just days from now, and in his third Spider-Man movie later in the year — the British actor also has a major project arriving in early 2022: Uncharted. Based on the hit series of video games, Uncharted stars Holland as Nathan Drake, a young treasure hunter who travels around the world unraveling historical mysteries while searching for his next hidden fortune. Along for the ride is fellow fortune seeker Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg), who acts as…

Tom Holland has the day off. The young British actor is currently shooting his third yet-to-be-officially titled Spider-Man movie when he quickly informs us during our chat that he has injured his knee while shooting a scene for the picture. Clearly it’s not the ideal start of his work week. “I’ve had the last two days off, and I’ve got tomorrow off as well,” he says casually. “I’m chomping at the bit to get back to work and back on set. But the film’s going really well.” Spider-Man 3 (as everyone’s calling it until we get a real title) is…

If you eagerly wait for the next episode of WandaVision to arrive, motor through it and then jump into the nearest chat filled with other obsessives to pick apart the entire thing and argue over the latest possible theories, you’re not alone: Spider-Man is right there with you. Well, the actor who currently slings his webs, Tom Holland. In a round of new interviews to promote his forthcoming drama Cherry, and in the middle of shooting his latest Marvel Cinematic Universe entry, Spider-Man 3, Holland didn’t hold back when singing the praises of the Disney+ series that has everyone talking.…

Netflix movie The Devil All the Time has released its first trailer, showcasing an impressive ensemble within a bleak piece of dramatic Gothic Americana. Indeed, the film is headlined by Marvel’s current big screen Spider-Man, Tom Holland, opposite DC’s imminently-debuting big screen Batman, Robert Pattinson, setting up a collision course of characters so seemingly epic, it might just make you forget to wish they were in their respective crimefighting outfits. The film was directed by Antonio Campos, who worked off a script he co-wrote with brother Paulo Campos, adapting Donald Ray Pollock’s 2011 novel of the same name. Bearing a…

In early May, MCU veterans Joe and Anthony Russo launched a weekly Instagram Live show to discuss a range of classic movies that made them want to be directors in the first place. Starting with Mathieu Kassovitz’s La Haine, the ‘Russo Bros. Pizza Film School‘ has been a fun time for viewers choosing to tune in during quarantine ever since. In a new interview about the ongoing project with Fox 5 DC, the Russo brothers chatted about their various attempts to school audiences who have gaps in their film history knowledge, including a young Tom Holland during his Marvel debut…

With last year’s rift between Sony and Disney seemingly in the rearview, the MCU forges on with one of its “absolute motherf*cking pornstars” very much in the fray. Spider-Man will be back on the big screen for a third instalment in the studios’ joint web-slinging franchise on July 16, 2021, and star Tom Holland has confirmed in a new interview with – *squints* the Philippine Daily Inquirer *checks notes* no that’s right – that production will get underway this summer. “I’m super happy about it. We will be shooting Spider-Man 3 in July in Atlanta,” Holland said, while insisting he…
