But Holland is dominating both the social media and the Hollywood industry.

Tom Holland was first introduced as the Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War and the reactions to his casting were extremely positive. Hence, Spider-Man’s first solo movie, Spider-Man: Homecoming, was in the works and because of scheduling conflicts, Holland had to turn down a blockbuster movie. He could have starred alongside Dwayne Johnson, but even though he was the first choice for the role, Holland was later replaced by Nick Jonas.

Well, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle went on to earn a whopping $962 million, but in contrast to his MCU role, it fell short in many aspects. Not only was the Jumaji role a one-time thing, but it also could not amount to MCU’s reach in the industry as the Spider-Man trilogy accumulated over 3.9 billion dollars over the years. Not only does Holland have many upcoming projects with MCU but he will also play a major role in the upcoming Phases and will most likely be leading the Avengers in a few year’s time.

Tom Hollands Multi-Billion Dollar Role

Tom Holland has grown at an exponential rate after collaborating with Marvel Studios. His Spider-Man role is definitely a fan-favorite and he has not disappointed his fans with his acting. Moreover, not only is MCU’s Spider-Man the most fan-loved, but it is also the most successful in terms of box office collection, as it amassed over $3.9 billion from its worldwide release. Furthermore, there are many upcoming MCU projects with Holland’s Spider-Man, be it solo, or an Avengers-level project. The Cherry actor was also paid handsomely for his billion-dollar movies.

According to various reports, Tom Holland was paid $250,000 for his small role in Captain America: Civil War, $500,000 for Spiderman: Homecoming, and $3 million to star in Avengers: Endgame. Though we may never get to know the accurate numbers, it is highly unlikely that Holland nowadays is getting paid in less than millions. Currently, the Spider-Man actor is prepping for The Crowded Train, a 10-episode-long TV show which will premiere on June 9, 2023, on Apple TV+. Fans are highly excited about this show as it is based on the true stories of those who suffer from mental illness.
