Tom Holland, known for playing Spider-Man, will be reading a story on the CBeebies Bedtime Story show this Friday. This appearance comes just before the release of his new movie, Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The 30-year-old actor seemed delighted to settle into a cozy armchair and begin reading the popular children’s book, Superworm.
Superworm, a brave and incredibly stretchy worm, needs rescuing when the selfish Wizard Lizard puts him under a magical spell. Luckily, his friends come to the rescue!
Tom is the latest in a line of famous faces – many known for playing superheroes or villains – to read stories on CBeebies Bedtime Stories. Other stars who have taken part include Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Jason Momoa.
You can watch the actor’s episode on CBeebies this Friday, July 24th, at 6:50 PM. It will also be available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
This announcement follows record-breaking reviews for Tom’s new film, The Odyssey, from both critics and audiences.
As a lifestyle and entertainment observer, I’m seeing incredible numbers for ‘Odyssey’! Just under a week after its release last Thursday, July 16th, the film has already earned a fantastic $303 million globally. We’re expecting that total to climb even higher – potentially by another $15 to $20 million – when the final numbers for Wednesday are tallied. It’s quickly becoming a summer blockbuster!
With Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man movie arriving on July 31st, it’s going to be a close race to see which film earns the most money this year. Early ticket sales for Brand New Day are incredibly strong, already breaking records for both its opening weekend and first week.
I’ve been loving seeing all the buzz around Tom Holland and Zendaya! They recently did something so sweet – they playfully recreated photos from their very first Spider-Man press tour, about ten years ago. It’s a really charming throwback and everyone is talking about it!
The actress, 29, and actor famously met on the set of Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2016.
Ten years later, the couple is married and once again promoting a new Spider-Man movie.
Zendaya posted on Instagram, sharing a photo from Sony Pictures that showed her and Tom Holland copying poses they originally did during their first press tour as a couple.
Zendaya instantly appeared stylish in a simple outfit of a white skirt and black tank top, and Tom playfully recreated an earlier pose next to her.
The post also featured the couple recreating old photos with their Spider-Man co-star, Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned Leeds.
Sony captioned the nostalgic carousel: ’10 years ago already’.
