Tom Holland on Brutal Character in Netflix Film: 'I Had to Go Places Mentally I Didn't Know I Could'

Hearing Tom Holland’s name typically evokes images of a web-slinging Peter Parker on a quest to save the world while getting the girl, an occupational hazard of starring as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Some of that surely will get displaced once global audiences get introduced to his latest character, Arvin Russell, a brutal and bloodied young man on a quest to fight the forces that have threatened his family in Antonio Campos’sIt’s based on the book by Donald Ray Pollock and many of the tome’s violent scenes are acted out onscreen courtesy of a cast that includes Robert Pattinson, Sebastian Stan, Bill Skarsgård, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Haley Bennett, Mia Wasikowska, Eliza Scanlen,...

All of the above — minus Pattinson and Keough — attended Netflix’s virtual premiere and post-show Q&A Thursday night along with moderator Danny Leigh. The journalist, author and host pointed out that it’s Holland’s character who shoulders the responsibility of being the glimmer of hope in an otherwise dark gothic tale of twisted faith, revenge and the sins of a set of small-town residents.

“He’s definitely … the glimmer of light in this film in the sense that he’s always just trying to do the right thing,” Holland said to Leigh about Russell’s intentions that are not that far off from Mr. Parker if it weren’t for the context. “It just so happens that in this film doing the right thing means killing people.”

Taking a chance on dark material required Holland to take a “leap of faith” in the material and in director Campos. “I had to put a lot of trust in Antonio because this is not the type of movie I’ve typically made in the past. I was really nervous and scared coming on set for the first time. I didn't know I had it in me to play this type of character. I was really lucky to have the cast that we have to support me and to have Antonio as the director and captain of the ship.

I’m actually disappointed because I was expecting more. Another uplifting title to look forward to. Gee, thanks Hollywood, you really have a 'pulse' on what the people want. Not. I had to suddenly stop reading because this review started giving away the plot. Is it too much to ask so called professional critics to give a review without ruining the movie for fans? WTH! This is some novice BS.
