Tom Holland Says They Tried To Make Miles Morales Spider-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23199:]]

In a recent interview while promoting his latest film, In The Heart of the Sea (which stars Chris Hemsworth), Tom Holland talks about auditioning and getting cast for Spider-Man.

Interestingly enough, according to Holland, either Sony or Marvel (or the Marvel Creative Committee that Feige canned) was attempting to make Miles Morales as Spider-Man. Holland filled the Daily Beast in on the info:

“I know they’re trying to make Miles Morales, but let me try and send a self-tape.” The agent replied, “Actually, they’ve requested you to send a self-tape.” 

Holland goes on to tell the story of how he worked on self-tapes with both Joel Kinnaman and Jon Bernthal (who was recently cast as the Punisher in Marvel’s Daredevil Netflix series).

“I went on to my next movie, Pilgrimage, and by that point I’d done two self-tapes, and they asked me to do another self-tape,” he says. “So I did a second set of sides and this time I had Jon Bernthal helping me out, which was great. I had to do those sides twice and my agents kept telling me, ‘This is the one!’ And then they’d ring me saying I have to do another one. I ended up doing five self-tapes in total.”  

Holland continues with mention he participated in two screen tests, one with Robert Downey Jr. and the other with Chris Evans.

“I went to Sarah Finn’s office and did a reading with her, and after that I got asked to screen-test,” says Holland. “I did two—one with RDJ, Robert Downey Jr., who was amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a cooler guy. And the second test was with Chris Evans, and it was pretty awesome and kind of surreal for me.”

Holland also reiterates that the standalone Spider-Man film will be similar in tone to a John Hughes movie (Mr. Mom, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Home Alone, Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) and not like the Christopher Nolan Batman movies.

“It’s not The Dark Knight,” he says. “One of the special things about what we’re going to try and create is that you’re going to see the biggest independent film ever. It’s not going to be an epic thing; it’s going to be a film surrounded by these incredible things, but that follows this boy and his life. Peter Parker is a favorite of many because everyone can relate to him, and we’re going to try to make everyone relate to our Peter Parker. And John Hughes is a perfect example of what we’re going to try and do.”

Tom Holland is first set to appear in Captain America: Civil War in May followed by the standalone Sony Spider-Man movie in 2017.

Sounds Like Iron Spider Armor For Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23166:]]

It’s already been confirmed that Tom Holland will be seen in the classic red and blue Spider-Man costume in Captain America: Civil War, but now it looks like Holland may be sporting more than one Spidey costume.

Captain America: Civil War co-director Anthony Russo was asked about the rumor of multiple Spider-Man costumes in an interview and hinted at more than one costume (via Super Interssante):

SUPER: There are many rumors are talking about two, three uniforms in the film. What can you talk about it?

Anthony Russo: Well, we did a lot of research and experimented with the looks of each character. We went through the same process with Spider-Man. We knew it was going to be someone young and it was very important to us because we wanted to give this essence to the character, because he is someone unique to the Marvel Universe. Tom Holland is an amazing Spider-Man, people will love him. It was a very experimental process, placing him with the other actors, especially with Downey Jr., we had to learn as we worked. And we’re very happy with the final result.

Russo continues with mention of what looks to be a big hint that Tom Holland may wear the Iron Spider Armor costume that was used in the Civil War Marvel Comics comic book event as Russo says a costume that will be used will be produced by special effects.

 We’re still working on a few things, like the costume. He’s not ready yet because so much will be produced with special effects.

Anthony Russo is directly asked about the Iron Spider Armor, but only seemingly teases its existence in the film.

SUPER: Will the film show the red-and-gold costume that was made ​​famous in the Civil War comic?

AR: The film will show a mix of what everyone is waiting for with a little twist. So yeah, that’s all I can say.

With the use of numerous Spider-Man costumes in Captain America: Civil War, we can probably also safely speculate that Spider-Man may have a bigger role in the movie than the previously thought cameo.

Following Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland will be featured in the standalone Spider-Man movie in 2017.

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Classic-Looking Spider-Man Costume To Be Featured In Captain America: Civil War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23125:]]

Yesterday saw the news hit that Tom Holland will be suited up as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War.

Now it’s become known they are using the classic-looking Spider-Man costume.

While it’s been rumored Marvel may have gone with the red and black costume for Civil War, the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly spills the beans that it’s the classic colors, red and blue.

So it’s a surprise to see Downey on the Pinewood backlot, strolling around with his arm slung around the shoulders of a young actor by the name of Tom Holland, who just happens to be wearing an iconic red-and-blue bodysuit. You may have heard of him. He’s the new Spider-Man.

Following Captain America: Civil War, Tom Holland will star in the untitled Sony Spider-Man movie due out in 2017.

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Spider-Man Will Be Suited Up In Captain America: Civil War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23102:]]

We’ve known Tom Holland has filmed scenes for Captain America: Civil War, and we even have an idea of what one of the scenes involves.

Now it’s confirmed that Tom Holland will suit up as Spider-Man – not just Peter Parker – in Captain America: Civil War.

EW.com revealed new Captain America: Civil War images with the information that when they attended a set visit, they saw an actor dressed as Spider-Man of which both Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige and Robert Downey Jr. seemingly confirmed.

“Listen, if there was a cosplayer running around that set when you were there, I don’t know what to tell you,” Feige said.

Robert Downey Jr. added:  “[Don] Cheadle and I are just going, ‘Wow, dude, look at this.’ We’re now like the old guard, and our storyline carries real weight just because of our history in the [canon]. But we’re also looking around like, ‘Who thought that Falcon and Black Panther and Ant-Man and now Spider-Man…?’ I mean it’s like wow, this thing is just crazy.” 

However, Chris Evans was quick to note things could always change.

“You never know with Marvel,” Chris Evans said. “Sometimes they shoot things and then don’t use them.”

The articles continues specifically noting, “So, yes: Spider-Man is in Civil War,” which follows with director Joe Russo talking Tom Holland:

“We did two screen tests with the character. We were pretty vocal about who we wanted for the part,” Joe Russo offered about Holland. “He’s fantastic. Amazing. It’s like Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun. Rarely do you see a kid carry a movie like that. He’s also a dancer and a gymnast. He fits the part like you can’t believe. Another thing that we were really pushing for was to go young with the part. It’s the only way to differentiate it from what’s been done in the past. Get him as close as you can to the age that [the actor] is.”

Marvel’s Dan Slott Has Coronary Over Batman Vs. Superman Gotham Footage

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:23074:]]

Fan-favorite Marvel Comics writer of Spider-Man and Silver Surfer, Dan Slott, appears to not have taken favorably to the new Batman Vs. Superman footage which was released earlier during Gotham.

Slott took to Twitter to voice his disassatifaction even though – like the rest of us – he hasn’t seen the whole movie. Slott also appears to not be a big fan of Man of Steel.

Before any accussations of Slott being a Marvel shill begin, Dan does state he’s a big fan of The Flash and Supergirl.

*For the record, Dan didn’t have a coronary – at least we hope not.

Update: Dan Slott has posted even more tweets blasting Batman Vs. Superman and Zack Snyder.

Watch: Tom Holland Talks Playing Spider-Man

Check out Tom Holland above talking about Spider-Man as IGN caught up with the new Peter Parker for his latest movie, In The Heart of the Sea, which also features fellow Marvel star Chris Hemsworth.

On Chris Hemsworth:

“We have recently,” Holland said about talking with the Hemsworth about the MCU. “Obviously when we shot the film, I had no idea I was going to be given this opportunity, but I asked him what to expect. From working with him, I learned a lot about what it’s like to be Chris Hemsworth. The truth is, he is a pretty normal guy. He’s really hard-working. He’s really nice to be around. I think his work ethic really stands out. That’s something I need to make sure I maintain and don’t become complacent in any way.”

On Spider-Man:

“I mean it’s very daunting because obviously the first two guys were so great and they did such fantastic performances. So I’ve got quite a lot to follow. I think I’ll have the help from the rest of the Marvel Universe. What’s quite exciting is when you read these comics he’s in, he interacts with a lot of other super heroes. So I don’t know if they will – they might do it – but I love the idea of teaming up with other people and getting to work with some of the fantastic cast that are in this universe. But as of now, I know nothing. I just know one day in the near future I will be able to play Spider-Man, but as of now I don’t know much.”

What to expect:

“Hopefully great things, and I’m sure they will be good. The Marvel’s creative team are fantastic and really brilliant, and I am sure they are coming up with some pretty stellar stuff.”

Tom Holland will first be appearing in “Captain America: Civil War” this coming May followed by a new standalone Spider-Man movie.

Possible Captain America: Civil War Trailer Description Leaks Online

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22834:]]

We get a potential description for the upcoming Captain America: Civil War trailer that is said to be attached to the December 18th premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

A user on Reddit is claiming to have attended a private Q&A with the Russo Bros. that ended with a screening of the Captain America: Civil War trailer. Obviously, this could be a bunch of BS, but at least it’s entertaining while we have to wait.

You can find the Captain America: Civil War trailer description below.

No source. It was a live event. Lots of security. All phones were collected before hand.

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22835:]]

This is a description of the FULL trailer that will be attached to Star Wars. If you want to stay surprised, don’t read it. OBVIOUS SPOILER WARNING!

Okay

We get our first look at Falcon using red wing, a drone, tracking an armored vehicle. It uses X-ray vision to look at the vehicle suspension and internals. Pretty badass. Once determining thy vehicle is the one their after, Flacon dives off a building and goes soaring towards it. Black Window runs through the streets and an alley to cut off the vehicle if Flacon can’t make it. Then we get our first look at Crossbones in his suit and in action in a massive action-packed set piece that looks great. Crossbones throws a magnetic bomb that attaches to Caps shield. Cap loses the shield and is forced into a hand to hand brawl. “Remember me? You dropped a building on my face!” Crossbones mentions he might know where Bucky is. Falcon is also caught up in the brawl. He is shot at, but deflects the bullets with his wings. They seem to be much stronger than in Winter Soldier, possibly vibranium.

A brief glimpse of Vision sitting in an arm chair wearing a black suit and tie. Brief glimpse of Black Panther fighting Cap. He has retractable vibranium claws in his suit, which looks fantastic on screen! Brief glimpse at Tony Stark, looking bruised and scraped, suiting up in Iron Man armor that seems to be a bit bulkier. Brief glimpse of Martin Freeman from behind with some voice over. Then a shot of Steve Rodgers holding onto a helicopter with one hand and a landing pad with the other, attempting to prevent the helicopter from taking off with all of his might (and massive biceps).

We see more of the Ant-Man post credits scene, Cap asks Bucky “Do you know who I am?” Bucky smirks and recalls a story from their childhood, revealing that he’s regained his memory and ready to fight with Cap. General Ross speaks to a group of officials, either congress or some other world security council. He seems to look pretty worn out, he’s lost a LOT of weight! Sam Wilson, Steve Rodgers and Wanda Maximoff are standing outside a van. Wilson says something about “Our new recruit.” The van door slides open to reveal Scott Lang sprawled across the back seat. He fan boys over meeting Cap, “You know so many super powered people, thinks for thanking of me… Thanks for thinking of me… I’m still shaking your hand.” He lets go and after a moment pats Cap’s bulky chest and says “wow.” Finally, we see two lines form, team Cap and Team Ironman, ready to charge at each other. Hawkeye pins Black Widow to the ground “Are we still friends?” “Depends on how hard you hit me.” Cut to title: CIVIL WAR!

Does Spider-Man appear in the Captain America: Civil War Trailer?:

Not a single reference, nod, glance, or wink.

Spider-Man speculation:

Well no, actually, Peter Parker has an actual role in the film. Not just a post credits cameo. I believe he’s gonna be on team ironman, then switch to team cap. Rumors suggest Tony builds him the Iron Spider suit, seen in the Civil War comic. Tom Holland was also shooting scenes for at least two weeks. So unless the post credits scene is 15 min, that wouldn’t make any sense. So to say I, as many other fans, expected to see a Spider-Man reference in the trailer is laughable is just you being misinformed.

Potential William Hurt/Red Hulk:

Unless there’s some subplot about him being sick and deciding to somehow treat himself with Gamma cells, that’s much more likely. Seriously, he looked sickly. It took a bit to even realize it was him! Totally forgot he was in the film

“I think it’s impossible not to,” Holland offered. “They were so great and such real and rich performances.

Kevin Feige Talks How Spider-Man Fits Into The MCU

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22269:]]

During a Q&A session while promoting The Avengers 2 Blu-Ray, Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige tackled the subject of the new Spider-Man, who will be 15-years-old in the films and played by Tom Holland (via IGN).

Regarding the Spider-Man Sony deal, Feige offered:

Making that agreement … was great, and was really amazing, and on a personal level making these movies, it means a lot because I think we can do great things with Spider-Man,” Feige said. “I think Spider-man can serve great purpose in our universe and that’s where he belongs. That was what was unique about him in the comics was not that he was the only superhero in the world; it’s that he was a totally different kind of superhero when compared against all the other ones in the Marvel universe at the time.

Feige was also asked about Spider-Man showing up “late in the game,” with Feige replying:

…it’s not about when you show up, it’s about what you do once you’re there…

Feige also let it be known that Marvel has alternate plans set up if things don’t go exactly as planed:

This has been a dream of ours for a long time. We always had contingency plans, which we always do anyway. Are we going to be able to make another deal with this actor? If so, we’re going to do this; if not, we’re going to do this. If we get the rights to a certain character, that’s great; we’re going to do this. If not, we’re going to do this. We always sort of operate under those various alternate timelines available and ready to shift if something happens.”

Feige also noted connecting Spider-Man to the rest of the MCU isn’t their main priority.

…the most important thing as a standalone is relaunching Spider-Man in his own standalone movie with his own storylines that fits into this universe. That is job number one for us. … The connectivity is great, but it doesn’t drive the train.

Regarding Captain America: Civil War, Feige said the movie is “very much Cap’s story” and it’s “very much a sequel to the Winter Soldier.

Tom Holland will first be appearing in “Captain America: Civil War” followed by the 2017 Spider-Man reboot.

No Uncle Ben Death Scene For Tom Holland Spider-Man Reboot

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:22194:]]

They say three’s a charm, but not in the case of Uncle Ben’s death scene.

While Uncle Ben died twice before: once in the 2002 Sam Raimi Spider-Man (played by Cliff Robertson) and a second time in the Marc Webb Amazing Spider-Man (played by Martin Sheen), it won’t be happening for a third time in the Tom Holland reboot.

Spider-Man reboot director Jon Watts told Empire Magazine (via Yahoo) more of what Marvel Studios president and producer Kevin Feige has been saying, which is no origin story.

“There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben,” Watts said, with mention of how he likes the idea of their plan to feature a teenage Peter Parker.  “I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high-school movie. We’re really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He’s just 15 now.”

Regarding Tom Holland, who is 19-years-old and hails from the UK, Watts offers he is the perfect Wall Crawler.

“Tom was pretty perfect. He’s very athletic. He can actually do a backflip! If he didn’t already capture the spirit of the character, with that on top the kid is Spider-Man.”

Tom Holland will first appear as Peter Parker in “Captain America: Civil War” out next May followed by the standalone Spider-Man movie set for a 2017 release; Marisa Tomei is rumored for Aunt May.

Tom Holland Was Born To Play Spider-Man

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21962:]]

Check out the Tom Holland Spider-Man costume!

Actually, it’s Spider-Man pajamas from when Holland was a youngster.

“A trip down memory lane… Thanks mum for keeping this,” the 19-year-old English actor posted on Instagram.

Tom Holland is Marvel and Sony’s choice to play the new Spider-Man which will see Peter Parker throughout high school. Holland will first be featured in Captain America: Civil War prior to the standalone Spider-Man film in 2017.

Below you can also check out video of Holland doing some target practice and a pic from three weeks ago.

“Captain America: Civil War” has  a May 6, 2016 release date directed by Anthony and Joe Russo starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Sebastian Stan, Anthony Mackie, Frank Grillo, Paul Bettany, Don Cheadle, Emily VanCamp, William Hurt, Martin Freeman and Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther.

Synopsis:

Captain America: Civil War picks up where Avengers: Age of Ultron left off, as Steve Rogers leads the new team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. After another international incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability and a governing body to determine when to enlist the services of the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers while they try to protect the world from a new and nefarious villain.

Another Possible Spider-Man Costume Tease From Russo Brothers Twitter

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21449:]]

We get another possible teaser for the new Tom Holland Spider-Man costume from the alleged Russo Bros. Twitter account.

A month ago saw a batch of images tweeted out from the same account, only for Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn to come out and say it’s a fake; however, Gunn ended up deleting that tweet leading to speculation the Russo Brothers Twitter account is actually legit or at least is a part of some sort of Marvel promotion.

Anthony and Joe Russo are directing Captain America: Civil War, which will first feature Tom Holland as Peter Parker and potentially Spider-Man.

Here is the latest tweet from the account, which may be a part of the Spider-Man costume:

Peter Parker Spoiler Scene Revealed For Captain America: Civil War

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21761:]]

Not a major spoiler for Peter Parker and Captain America: Civil War, but I know how testy some of you guys can get (especially on Facebook) in regards to “spoilers.”

So you have been warned.

We get a tidbit regarding what goes down with Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War in that Peter Parker’s bedroom will be featured in the movie.

Again, nothing major, but it’s learned Peter Parker’s bedroom will be featured in some capacity in Captain America: Civil War as an Atlanta Prop house supplied the furniture (via 11alive.com).

Earlier it was stated that Tom Holland already filmed scenes in Atlanta, and now we have an idea in that it looks as if Tom Holland filmed a scene as Peter Parker in his bedroom.

Note: Holland doesn’t appear to be done filming Captain America: Civil War as the actor was spotted in Germany as well, so in addition to the bedroom scene, Peter Parker looks to possibly have additional scenes (which hints at more than a cameo).

Here’s the pic of a desk and chair from Peter Parker’s bedroom in Captain America: Civil War:

This weekend happens to be Disney’s D23 Expo where it’s speculated the first footage from Captain America: Civil War will debut.

It’s also possible Marvel may officially introduce Tom Holland to the world as Spider-Man.

Now a pair of images have possibly leaked online revealing Tom Holland as Spider-Man.

Chris Miller Talks Han Solo & Animated Spider-Man Movie

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:21648:]]

Chris Miller is one half of the writing/directing team behind the upcoming Star Wars Han Solo movie as well as the animated Spider-Man film. Miller and his partner, Phil Lord, are also responsible for The LEGO Movie, Jump Street, The Last Man On Earth TV series and are said to be taking on The Flash for WB.

IGN caught up with Miller at the Television Critics association press tour to get Miller’s thoughts on Han Solo and Spider-Man.

Regarding Han Solo, Miller offered their largest demand is living up to the legacy of Han Solo and respecting the character.

Oh man, that’s our big challenge, right? It’s a huge pressure. We always try and find something that’s gonna make us… give a fire to our bellies and do a really good job. And this feels like there’s a lot of pressure to not screw this up. So we’ve definitely got that motivation and then the rest of it is about trying to give audiences a fresh experience that doesn’t feel like you’re just trying to check off some checklist of beats that you’re expecting and make something that feels new and exciting for people, but at the same time honoring what was so great about that character.

I could talk to you for a day about why he is the perfect blend of rogue-ish cowboy… Morally ambiguous, but has a clear moral compass. He’s funny, he’s off the cuff… When I was a kid on the playground, fights were about who got to play Han Solo. He’s just one of the best characters ever created.

And for Spider-Man, Miller obviously can’t say much, but he does offer it won’t be the same Spider-Man story we’ve always seen.

 I can’t really talk too much about that project. Much like the Han Solo, it is shrouded in secrecy, so I can’t really talk about it. But I will say, it is not just another Peter Parker origin story that you’ve seen 400 times. It is something totally unique and different and not like anything you’ve seen. That’s all I can say… and you’re going to love it!

The Star Wars Han Solo movie has a May 25, 2018 release; the Spider-Man animated film has a July 20, 2018 release.
