This boy can move!
Ready to meet your new Spider-Man? Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have announced that Tom Holland will play the famous web-slinger in upcoming installments in the cinematic universe.
While he won't swing into a theater near you in a standalone film until 2017 (he's expected to appear in next year's Captain America: Civil War), it's never too early to get to know your new friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
1. He's got moves
The 19-year-old Brit's big break came in 2006 when he was spotted by a choreographer while performing with his dance school at a festival. Auditions and two years of training later, he made his debut in the West End production of Billy Elliot the Musical as Michael, the titular dancing boy's best friend, before later taking on the lead role.
Here he is talking about the production:
3. He's already shared the screen with Thor

4. He's got some stunts ready to go
Either Holland just loves playing with slow-motion videos on Instagram, or he's been offering his fans some foreshadowing. If the stunts he's posted are any indication, we think he's just excited to be swinging around as Spidey.
5. He loves Taylor Swift too
Do we really need to explain...?
