is currently one of the most popular actors in Hollywood cinema. He has many excellent roles under his belt, but it was participation in Marvel productions that brought him to the top and ensured him the status of a real star.
The role in the production of Marvel was a breakthrough. Today, Holland is a big star
When he first played the character known from the comics, his name was not associated with many people in the industry. It is true that he had a few adventures in front of the camera, but these were mainly episodic roles. The breakthrough was the movie “Civil War”, which premiered on cinema screens in May 2016. It was then that he debuted as Spider-Man, gaining acclaim from both viewers and critics. The instant popularity meant that he was quickly hailed as a rising star and in the following years he appeared in other productions set in this universe. The road to this place was one arduous one, and before he got the script, he had to put a lot of effort into proving to the producers that he was the best possible candidate.
This is what Holland’s casting for Spider-Man looked like. The actor even tried a few tricks
Before the first slap on the set of the film “Captain America”, the contenders for the main roles had to undergo really demanding castings, during which not only their skills were assessed, but also the compatibility of appearance with the ideas of a given hero. The final casting process lasted as long as 7 months and required up to 8 auditions in some cases. It was similar in the case of Tom Holland, who dreamed of getting the role of Peter Parker, adored by many Spider-Man. Although the stages were tiring, the actor fondly recalls those moments when he did not yet know how huge success awaited him.
Some time ago, the Sony Pictures Entertainment film studio published a recording of the initial auditions of the stars who created iconic characters on the screen. Tom Holland decided to watch his audition footage with and Jacob Batalon, who played friends of Spider-Man in the production. The video shows that the actor rose to the occasion. He stepped in front of the camera, performing a backflip, and then arranged his hands in such a way as if he was shooting a spider web. During the short screening, there was no lack of laughter and genuine exclamations of amazement. The video was flooded with comments from netizens.
