New Spider-Man Tom Holland Auditioned With Gymnastic Flips, Got 4 Solo Movies

Tom Holland, our latest big-screen Spider-Man, is sooo into Spider-Man. In a new Hollywood Reporter interview—a two-for-one cover story shared with Homecoming co-star Zendaya—the 20-year-old Brit reveals that he's had roughly 30 Spidey costumes since he was a tot. Ergo, he really wanted that audition to become Marvel's first Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Spider-Man (it's complicated and boring). 

They asked for a self-taped try-out; here's how it went:

"I was a gymnast when I was a kid, so I did a backflip, just to show Marvel that I could do that sort of stuff. I was like, 'Hi, I'm Tom Holland.' Backflip. 'I'm from London.' Side flip. 'I'm five-foot-seven.' Front flip. I had a lot of fun making those tapes."

So...think they got the right guy? Can't exactly tell if he's charming or...if he's the most charming actor since Jennifer Lawrence?
