Tom Holland is back on Instagram! At the beginning of October, the actor best known for playing Peter Parker/Spider-Man revealed he was taking a break from the social media site in order to focus on his latest film role. Holland is re-teaming up with Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, for Cherry. The new film is being adapted from the book of the same name and follows “an Army medic suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder” who “becomes a serial bank robber after an addiction to drugs puts him in debt.” Here’s Holland new look for the role:

“‘No alarms. I’m a wanted man. They’ll kill meโฆ,’” Holland wrote.
During a recent appearance at ACE Comic Con, Holland spoke more about the movie.
“It’s an incredible role,” he shared. “The book is amazing, the script is even better. I couldn’t wait to dive into it and sort of give it everything I’ve got. And it’s so different for me, I mean, I shaved my head. I really like it. I don’t know about you, but I really, really like it. It’s so much easier to manage.”
He added, “In this film, I’m playing a drug addict and I’ve never done drugs in my life, soโฆ”
This led to a cheer from the crowd so Holland added, “Yeah, don’t do drugs, kids!”
“So, it’s just a stretch, it’s different,” Holland explained. “It’s something I’ve never done before. And it’s gonna be a tough job and I hope I can do justice. Harry and I, my little brother, we’ve been going to the VA every day. Yeah, we’ve been going to the VA in Cleveland every day and meeting with veterans and making sure we do the research and pay respects to them and tell their story through our medium of entertainment.”
