The film is set to star Tom Holland from Billy Elliot and The Impossible to fill the shoes of Peter Parker, a role left behind by Andrew Garfield and Tobey MaGuire. Rumors are swirling that Holland will make a guest appearance in the upcoming Capitan America: Civil War film to lay the groundwork for the introduction of this new Spidey into Marvel’s Cinematic Universe.
So what does this mean for Zendaya and Spider-Man? Theories are flying around that she will play the character of Michelle; in the comics she was a lawyer whose brother was a police officer and roommate to Spidey. The two share a complicated relationship that results in a one-night stand at his Aunt May’s wedding.
Only time will tell, but until then, we’re pretty excited.
