It seems that Hollywood simply can’t get enough ofTom Holland, and for good reason. Holland’s most recent performances in the thrillerThe Devil All The Timeand the animated movieSpies in Disguisereveal just how big his range is as an actor.
And since he’s playing Nathan Drake in theupcomingUnchartedmovieandsupposedly playing Linkin a possibleLegend of Zeldalive-action show, who’s to say that he can’t just beallthe video game characters? Here’s several characters from different franchises that Holland should play as.

Tom Holland as: Tom Nook
In a parallel universe, where instead ofDetective Pikachuthere was a live-action adaptation ofAnimal Crossing, Holland definitely playsTom Nook. Just think of the headline: “Tom Holland Plays Rent-Hungry Raccoon” will certainly make heads turn.Animal Crossingalready has an anime adaptation that was never officially released outside of Japan, and the franchise becomes more and more popular with every release of a new game. With that in mind, American audiences would love nothing more than to see a realistic CGI animated Tom Nook voiced by Holland greeting them back at theaters.
Tom Holland as: Bayonetta
While fans are still anxiously waiting for any news regardingBayonetta 3, Platinum Games should consider making a live-actionBayonettafilm to give people something to chew on. Since her debut in Super Smash Bros., gamers want to see more Bayonetta, and who’d be a better candidate to play the sexy Umbra Witch than Mr. Holland himself? All he has to do is send inthis videofor his audition and he will instantly get the role. Perhaps the only thing he’s really lacking are stupidly long legs, but nothing like a good workout and a strict diet to get him into shape.
Tom Holland as: Tracer
British? Check. Brown hair? Check. Thrown into the folds of time and space due to an experiment gone wrong? Uh, maybe. Look, there doesn’t seem to be any plans for anOverwatchmovie, especially since Blizzard seems to have their hands full working onOverwatch 2. But since the belovedWorld of Warcraftmovie did so well upon release, surely Blizzard would notnotdo the same for their most popular FPS. And as mentioned before, Holland is no stranger to cross-dressing.
Tom Holland as: Geralt
Holland is Nathan Drake. He might be Link. So why didn’tNetflixjust cast him asGeralt? Holland dipped his toes in the fantasy genre when he starred in Pixar’sOnwardas a socially awkward elf boy, so he’s obviously the perfect fit to play a buff, angsty, sexy monster hunter. Of course,Henry Cavillcurrently plays everyone’s favorite witcherwith season 2 still in production. But just in case Cavill ever needs to take a break from slicing up monsters and crying over Yennefer, Holland should definitely be next in line to take the spotlight. Obviously he and Cavill look almost exactly alike, and 24 year old Holland is perfectly suited to play Ciri’s father figure.
Tom Holland as: Spider-Man
Oh, it would be so very splendid for there to be live-action movie adaptations of thoseSpider-Mangames. One could argue that actors likeAndrew Garfieldor even Tobey Maguire would also be great fits for this web-slinging hero, but Holland has the range, darling! He could easily play as a young Peter Parker in high school. Since he’s in New York, he could also have connections withTony Stark. A mentor/mentee relationship between the two characters could possibly bring Holland intoThe Avengersfranchise at some point, which could also lead to at least 2 blockbuster hit Spider-Man movies that starZendayaas Mary Jane and…and…okay, now this is just getting ridiculous. Who needs another superhero added to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Holland as Spider-Man? What’s next, throwing Paul Rudd intoThe Avengers?Getting aRick and Mortywriter to work on a script forAnt-Man? Pfft, forget it.
