A shock MCU debut

Audiences got their very first taste of Tom’s take on Spider-Man in 2016's star-studded Captain America: Civil War. Despite only appearing for a handful of scenes alongside established icons, his energetic, fast-talking, and authentically teenage portrayal of Peter Parker stole the show and instantly silenced internet sceptics.

The massive blockbuster went on to clear more than $1.1 billion globally, proving right out of the gate that introducing this fresh-faced British actor to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) was a multi-billion dollar masterstroke.
