Looks Like Sony Won The Spider-Man Fight

Tom Holland was announced yesterday as the next Spider-Man.

There had been a "disagreement" between Marvel and Sony on who they were going to cast in the role of Peter Parker.  Marvel wanted Charlie Plummer to don the web-shooters, and Sony was pulling for Tom Holland.  Looks like round one goes to Sony.

So...a little bit of information about Mr. Holland.  He's an nineteen year old English actor, who was born in Kingston upon the Thames, United Kingdom.  He's worked both in movies and on stage, playing the lead role in Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre in London, and starring in the movie The Impossible.  He's also played Gregory Cromwell in the television mini-series Wolf Hall.

It's a good thing they finally decided on an actor, too.  Our Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is set to make his first appearance in the upcoming Captain America: Civil War.  After that, Holland will be playing Spidey in the Jon Watts-directed solo Spidey movie that'll be released July 28, 2017.

So, what do you think of their decision?  Would you have picked someone else, and if so, who?  Let me know in the comments section down below.
