Tom Holland has been gradually expanding his roles as an actor in recent years, demonstrating versatility and taking on challenging projects. Despite achieving immense success with the Spider-Man films, he delved into darker themes with movies like The Devil All the Time, Cherry, and The Crowded Room, showcasing his intense acting capabilities.
The actor appears to be striking a balance between major studio blockbusters and smaller, character-driven films. While already set for a potential new franchise with Uncharted, a recent rumor hints at another IP that could be a perfect fit for Holland in the lead role.
In his latest commitment to the Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room, Holland took on his darkest role to date as Danny Sullivan, portraying a character with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The actor openly discussed the demanding nature of the role, emphasizing the exhaustion it brought upon him.
In a refreshing turn, there’s a project on the horizon that could serve as a palate cleanser for Holland. According to information from Daniel Richtman (via Screen Time), Paramount is in the process of developing a live-action adaptation of the beloved Danny Phantom show. If this speculation proves accurate, Holland would be a fitting candidate for the role.
This potential project offers another opportunity for Holland to explore a superhero-esque character, distinct from his portrayal of Spider-Man. Despite the character in the show being a teenager, there’s flexibility to age the character and reshape the narrative accordingly. The veracity of this report is yet to be confirmed, adding an element of anticipation to the potential casting of Tom Holland in this exciting venture.
