Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland continues to be a wonderful new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, both on and off-screen. As the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Holland has already owned both sides of the role (see: Captain America: Civil War), and as a young actor, has carried himself impeccably – from appearing in hilarious late-night sketches to doing real good through charity work.

In today’s Tom Holland showcase, we learn what happens when the new Spider-Man has to face the strange powers of another Marvel superhero: Squirrel Girl!
In all seriousness though: having a gang of squirrels swarm you in a public park is pretty much a nightmare scenario for a lot of people. Holland handled it like a true hero – or at least edited out the part where he screamed and ran away. We’re betting it’s the former.
Facing down a mob of squirrels? This new Spider-Man continues to impress.
In Spider-Man: Homecoming, a young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
The cast features Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.. It also includes Jon Favreau, Martin Starr, Kenneth Choi, Michael Mando, Selenis Leyva, Isabella Amara, Jorge Lendeborg, Jr., JJ Totah, Hannibal Buress, and Jacob Batalon.
The film is being directed by Jon Watts (Cop Car), based on a screenplay by Jonathan Goldstein & John Francis Daley (Vacation reboot) and Jon Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers.
The film is produced by Marvel boss Kevin Feige and former Sony boss Amy Pascal. Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Patricia Whitcher, Jeremy Latcham, and Stan Lee are serving as Executive Producers.
