Best known for playing the title role in the Spider-Man film franchise, Tom Holland has been confirmed to play the legendary Fred Astaire in an upcoming film biopic. 

The project is still in its early stages but Holland himself confirmed he will be taking on this iconic role, with donning his tap shoes taking him back to his pre-Hollywood fame when he played Billy Elliot in the West End from 2008-2010.

Across Astaire’s seventy year career, he starred in 30+ film musicals, many alongside Ginger Rogers, as well as performing on Broadway and in the West End.
