Tom Holland recently talked about the upcoming standalone "Spider-Man" movie to Daily Beast, teasing that it will be different from other superhero movies in the fold and calling it "the biggest independent film ever."
The actor, who will be seen with Chris Hemsworth aka Thor in the new movie "In the Heart of the Sea," emphasized that the film will not be like the "The Dark Knight" films with Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale, at least in terms of the tone.
"It's not going to be an epic thing; it's going to be a film surrounded by these incredible things, but that follows this boy and his life. Peter Parker is a favorite of many because everyone can relate to him, and we're going to try to make everyone relate to our Peter Parker," the actor said.
"And John Hughes is a perfect example of what we're going to try and do," the young actor went on to say. Sadly, Holland shied away from dishing any plot info about the much-awaited "Spider-Man" reboot though he opened up about how he ended up taking the web slinger mantle.
He recalled that he had to submit five self-taped auditions on different locations. He also showed how physically ready he is to take on the role of the wise-cracking wall-crawler by showing off his gymnastics skills.
Spider-Man debuts in the Marvel Cinematic Universe through "Captain America: Civil War." Just recently, director Anthony Russo revealed that Holland will be donning a red-and-gold outfit for the movie. It was also said that his costume will entail some special effects.
The "Spider-Man" standalone movie will not be an origin movie, although it will take Peter Parker back to high school, where viewers will see him as a vulnerable young lad trying to make his way into the world.
Fans will get a first look of Holland as Spider-Man or Peter Parker in "Captain America: Civil War" but he will get the big screen to himself in his solo "Spider-Man" film in July 2017.
