His first introduction as the Spider-Man of the current generation occurred in 2016 in ‘Captain America: Civil War‘ and from them he gained international recognition.
But before and after his spiderman debut he has starred in many more films, ‘The Impossible’, ‘In the Heart of the Sea’, ‘The Lost City of Z’, ‘Pilgrimage’, Cherry’ to name a few. In 2022 another film ‘Uncharted’, based on the video game series of the same name, is coming where Tom Holland is starring in the main role- Nathan Drake.
From the young actor’s all movies, here are five that Tom Holland must not miss:
5. The Impossible (2012)-
It is the film debut of Holland. This Spanish Disaster Drama is directed by J.A. Bayona and is an award-winning film.

2. Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)-
Now we have come to the place which ultimately gave Tom Holland the recognition he deserved. The plot of this movie is set after the incidents of Avengers where Peter Parker, an ordinary college student with a double life of ‘Spider-Man’ becomes involved with the superheroes by Iron Man- Tony Stark.
Thrilled by the experience of the Avengers, Peter returns home where he has to balance his ordinary life and his superhuman identity. But he soon becomes entangled in the case of Jackson Brice and Herman Schultz making Vulture suit and becomes bound to use his superhuman power to fight the evil.
‘Spider-man: Homecoming’ releases on June 28 of 2017 in Hollywood and July 7 in the United States in the same year. It made a huge box office success with Holland winning the Teen Choice Awards with Zendaya.
1. Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)-
This latest spider-man movie brings together Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Dr. Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) together with Peter now revealed as the superhero Spider-Man.
Moreover, fans are extra delighted to see Holland acting beside the previous Spider-Mans Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield whose appearances were kept secret by Marvel and Sony. ‘No way home‘ is by far the most happening of all the Spider-man movies involving more than one universe as a consequence of Dr. Strange’s involvement.
There is no doubt that the Spider-man movies have helped and are helping Tom to be a better actor every time which we are sure he will apply in greater movies in the future.
