Tom Holland is one of the most loved actors of the present time with a massive fan following. He started his acting career at the age of nine and never looked back.
The actor became a global name with the role of Spider-man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe projects.
After being introduced in Captain America 3, he has done three high-grossing solo films as well.
The actor recently turned executive producer for his brand new TV series The Crowded Room, and to the surprise of his fans, Holland once pitched a Bond movie as well.

Tom Holland is a man of many talents, and in a short span, he has become one of the highest-paid young actors in Hollywood. The actor once pitched a prequel film for the James Bond series, which, unfortunately, was shot down.
Tom Holland pitched a James Bond prequel
The James Bond movies franchise has been one of the longest-running and most successful franchises over the last 60 years.
In the latest appearance of Tom Holland on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he opened up about his James Bond movie pitch.
Marvel’s Spider-Man star shared that his idea was to hide from the audience that it was a 007 movie until the end.
However, he admitted that it made no sense in the context of marketing for the film.
Tom Holland
“It didn’t work out quite as planned. Essentially, I’m such a big fan of James Bond. I’ve loved Daniel Craig’s movies.
And I just thought: If they were to move on it would be really exciting to see how James Bond becomes James Bond. So, I pitched this idea for a movie, which is kind of a stupid idea.
Essentially you wouldn’t tell the audience that it was a James Bond movie until the end, but from a marketing point of view, that’s a nightmare. Like that just doesn’t make any sense.”
Tom Holland’s pitch could have worked if Sony and MGM had elected to move forward while keeping its franchise ties a secret from the marketing.
However, with the grand success of Craig’s No Time To Die with $774 million gross, it would have been difficult to keep connections under wrap.
However, audiences are excited over the concept of exploring a young James Bond in a prequel.
New James Bond after Daniel Craig
The lead role of 007 has been played by numerous actors like Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Daniel Craig, etc.
For the unversed, Sean Connery was seen in Dr. No, next was George Lazenby for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Roger Moore did seven films, Timothy Dalton was in the next two films, Pierce Brosnan did four films, and Daniel Craig played Bond for five films.
But since, the role of the internationally famed spy, James Bond, has become vacant, makers are on the lookout for a new bond.
Daniel Craig as James Bond
Some popular names in the running are Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Regé-Jean Page, and Henry Cavill, among others.
