Stan Lee approves of Marvel’s choice for the new Spider-Man, Tom Holland.
19-year-old English actor Tom Holland was recently named to be Marvel and Sony’s new choice for Spider-Man — first set to appear in Captain America: Civil War and then the new standalone Spidey movie.
“He’s good to me! I can’t see anything wrong with him,” Stan Lee told EW.com while attending the LA premiere of Ant-Man.
“I don’t know him intimately – in fact, I’ve never seen him [onscreen],” Lee continued “But if [Marvel] picked him, I’m sure he’s good!”
Stan Lee also recently commented on his Ant-Man cameo and Ant-Man in the comics.
Jon Watts is directing the new Spider-Man film, which is due out July 28, 2017.
“With Tom, we’ve found the perfect actor to bring Spider-Man’s story into the Marvel Cinematic Universe,” Sony’s Amy Pascal previously stated.
