Kevin Feige Explains Why Tom Holland got to Play Spider-Man

Chief of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige has had an exhausting week with the press tour for the upcoming Ant-Man, he in the works of putting in Black Panther's role in Captain America: Civil War, and prepared The Hulk's chance to appear in the Phase Three threequel of Captain America.

Marvel's Kevin Feige, inspite the work load, still got time to share his thoughts on Tom Holland and how he was cast as the new Spider-Man, and how he will stand apart from what has been  seen from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

Kevin Feige, during an interview with The L.A. Times said, he chose Tom Holland to be the next Peter Parker, for a reason, "Tom Holland's younger by I think five or six or seven or eight years than either Tobey or Andrew when they were cast and that's very is intentional."

Feige also added, "You look at the early comic books of Spider-Man and what was so great about what Stan Lee and Steve Ditko did was they said what if one of the most powerful heroes we have is a high school kid who also has to do homework and isn't a billionaire, or isn't a genius scientist, or isn't a trained assassin, or isn't another scientist who had an accident but is a kid?"

Kevin Feige stated that Tom Holland's relationship to the broader Marvel Universe is the one thing that hasn't been explored in the other five Spider-Man movies. The younger Holland is more akin to the character in the original Spider-Man comic book stories and Tom Holland is unique and different compared to the other Marvel heroes.

In this New Spider Man venture, Marvel is distinctly keen to bring the character back to its comic book roots. Kevin Feige confirmed Tom Holland got the role and that casting team made an uncontested unanimous decision. 

Tom Holland's new 'Spider-Man' reboot will hit cinemas on 28 July 2017.
