In the Heart of the Sea
Chris Hemsworth and Tom Holland star in this adaptation of the book of the same name, which in turn is inspired by Moby-Dick, which in turn is inspired again, by a real-life event. The film follows the whaling ship Essex in 1820, and sees it being destroyed by a whale, after which its crew members spend a long time on the sea.
The Lost City of Z
The film offers a stacked cast with an adventure that’s really well thought out. It focuses on the adventures of Percy Fawcett, who goes on an expedition in Brazil to find a lost city. Holland plays the role of Jack Fawcett, and he really gives a great performance here.
Onward
Holland and Chris Pratt voice two brothers in this film that have an opportunity to meet their dad through magic for a day. While summoning him, the spell goes wrong and only his legs are restored. What follows is a magical Pixar journey that sees them try to restore their father’s entire body before the time runs out.
The Impossible
The film recounts the real-life events of the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and the experience of Maria Belon. The movie features a great cast that includes the likes of Naomi Watts, Ewan McGregor and of course, Holland, who stars in his first notable role here.
The Devil All the Time
Holland transformed himself into a completely different beast for this film. The film here follows a cast of different characters, whose stories are linked together in some way, with Holland’s Arvin Russell leading it. It truly shows the actor in a different light compared to his more traditional roles.
Tom Holland truly is an amazing actor, and we can’t wait to see him to do some more amazing roles, considering he is taking a short break from being Spider-Man. With this we finish off the list and wish him a very happy birthday.
