Let’s celebrate! Today is Tom Holland’s 30th birthday. It’s amazing to think he’s turning 30 – he’ll always seem like the young Peter Parker we first fell in love with.
Tom Holland is famous for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel movies, but he’s been acting for quite a while, starting with a well-received disaster movie back in 2012. We’ll talk more about that film later.
Tom Holland has a packed summer ahead, starring in two big movies. He’ll first travel back in time for Christopher Nolan’s film, The Odyssey, and then return as Peter in the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day movie.
To mark Holland’s birthday and his incredibly busy summer, we’ve put together a list of his five best movies for you to enjoy whenever you have time.
Spider-Man Trilogy (2017-2021)

We’re including all three Spider-Man movies – we know it’s a bit of a cheat, but they’re essential viewing! It’s also a great way to refresh your memory before Brand New Day comes out in July.
If you enjoy Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, you can also find him in other Marvel Cinematic Universe films like Avengers: Infinity War and a short appearance in Avengers: Endgame.
