(Video) Not Just Tom Holland! These Actors Also Auditioned For The Role of Spider-Man!

Before Tom Holland made it to the screen, there were other young actors who auditioned. It looked easy when Tom Holland got the role but he had to beat a bunch of well-known young actors. When Marvel and Sony wanted to develop a new series of Spider-Man films, they wanted to focus more on younger actors rather than the previous actors who played Spider-Man, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.

They wanted to emphasize making the character a 15 or 16-year-old who was dealing with the struggles of being a teen in addition to his identity as Spider-Man.

By mid-2015, a handful of selections which included Nat Wolff, Timothée Chalamet, and Liam James, Marvel Studio narrowed down the consideration to only six young actors. The group of six young actors out of the 1,500 who auditioned made it to the screen test process. Those actors were Asa Butterfield, Judah Lewis, Matthew Lintz, Charlie Plummer, Charlie Rowe, and of course, Tom Holland.

Since Peter does more interaction with Iron Man, the group was screen-tested by Robert Downey Jr himself. Both Tom Holland and Asa Buterfield were even in this interaction. Hence, Tom Holland was then tested with Chris Evan and before acquiring the gig, Tom Holland became a favorite.

The thing that made Tom Holland stand out from the other actors is his background in dancing and gymnastics which is perfect for the role. Not only that, film producers and everyone else were impressed with Tom Holland’s previous actings like The Impossible and In The Heart of the Sea. Portraying Tom Holland as Spider-Man was a good decision because fans and critics praised him.

But to be honest, Tom Holland did a splendid job being in character. He was this teenager with a normal school life but great responsibilities to handle. He also has a good sense of humour. Compared to the previous two guys who played the Spider-Man role, I think Tom Holland was the best because it related to teenage life which makes it more interesting for youngsters to watch.
