Marvel has officially announced the actor who will next portray Peter Parker on the big screen.
19-year-old British actor Tom Holland has been cast as Spider-Man for the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films set to come. Holland could make his Spidey debut as early as Captain America: Civil War where he’s expected and should play a pretty significant role in the movie.

Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios are proud to announce that after a full worldwide casting search, Tom Holland will play Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the next Spider-Man film, in theaters in IMAX and 3D on July 28, 2017.
