Tom Holland’s Spider-Man journey continues in ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' which is out now and breaking box-office records! To celebrate, ET unlocks the vault to look back at Tom’s earliest projects, starting with 2012's ‘The Impossible.' By 2015, he was pushing himself to the limit filming ‘In the Heart of the Sea’ alongside Chris Hemsworth, only eating 500 calories a day to prepare for the role. That same year, Tom’s life changed forever when he took on the role of Peter Parker, appearing in seven Marvel films (and counting) and meeting his now-wife, Zendaya. Tom's career comes full circle with his next project: a Fred Astaire biopic! It's a return to dancing, after getting his start on stage in the West End production of ‘Billy Elliot.' He tells ET, training is already taking its toll, joking, 'I've already got blisters on my toes,' but notes he's loving every minute of it.
