Tom Holland reveals his James Bond pitch was set to hide the fact from audiences that it was a 007 movie until the end of the film. The 25-year-old English actor has enjoyed international stardom over the past six years since swinging into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War. Holland would carry the role on into three solo films, including the recently released box office record setter Spider-Man: No Way Home, and in both Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame.
The James Bond movie franchise has enjoyed over 60 years of success on the big screen having begun with the Sean Connery-starring Dr. No in 1962 based on Ian Fleming's novel of the same name. Connery was subsequently replaced by George Lazenby for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, Roger Moore for seven films, Timothy Dalton for two films, Pierce Brosnan for four films and most recently seeing Daniel Craig carrying the role through five films, ending with No Time to Die.
