Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Audition Left Studio Executives Stunned
Marvel stuntman James Young recently opened up and recounted how the experience of watching Tom Holland audition for Captain America: Civil War left Marvel Studios executives stunned. The actor has played the role of Peter Parker ever since the third Captain America movie debuted in theaters in 2016. More recently, he can be seen in his own third solo outing with the debut of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

In Civil War, Peter is introduced as a young high school student early in his career as Spider-Man and enlisted by Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) for a battle to help enforce the Sokovia Accords.
