Tom Holland lands the toughest role of his career, but he was born for it

Tom Holland will definitely return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man. However, when and how this will happen is not yet clear. Sony apparently has plans for another trilogy. Until then, Holland seems to have found another exciting project: he wants to play Fred Astaire.

The gifted dancer, singer and actor conquered Hollywood in the early 1930s and established himself with films such as I dance my way into your heart, curtain up! and A sweetheart immortalized in the history books. In addition to his work in front of the camera, Astaire was also behind it as a choreographer.

Biopic with Oscar chances: Before Spider-Man 4, Tom Holland transforms into Fred Astaire

As reported by the Hollywood Reporter, the film has now found a director. Paul King, the creative mind behind the Paddington films, is set to direct the Fred Astaire biopic. The story focuses on the Relationship between Astaire and his sister Adele. They shared the stage together for 20 years.

Although Holland has already proven in the Marvel Cinematic Universe that he can easily handle physically demanding roles, the Fred Astaire film requires a completely different tact when it comes to the use of his body goes. He has to get close to these grandiose performances:

However, if we revisit Holland’s amazing performance on Comedy Central, where he danced to Rihanna’s Umbrella in the Lyp Syn Battle, there’s little doubt that he up to the challenge is. We may even be dealing with his first serious Oscar role here.

Holland has already tried to expand his career in recent years with films such as Cherry and The Devil All the Time to steer in new directions. The Fred Astaire biopic is his biggest chance yet to break into Hollywood beyond popular brands like Marvel and Uncharted.
