Tom Holland has been charming fans as Spider-Man in the MCU for almost a decade now. His kind, helpful, if a little goofy version of the web-slinger has won over even the most jaded fans over the years.

Although his Spider-Man: No Way Home gave a glimpse of the happy-go-lucky superhero finally turning a little darker after the tragedies that took place, Holland nonetheless managed to keep the essence of his unique version of Spider-Man alive, even during those sequences.

Interestingly, though, it turns out that his helpful streak reaches beyond the camera with long-lasting consequences. It was that very trait of Tom Holland that might have helped Jon Bernthal land the role of Punisher in the MCU.

Many people may not be aware that before becoming the MCU’s Punisher and Spider-Man, respectively, Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland starred together in a mostly forgotten 2017 movie called Pilgrimage. What makes the film a significant moment for both of them is that it was while working on that movie that they both auditioned for their very different Marvel roles, and Bernthal recently revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he actually helped Holland with his audition tape.

The pair are currently reuniting on screen thanks to their roles in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic, The Odyssey, but as Bernthal recalled, their last collaboration included giving each other a little boost in their Marvel auditions. He said:

“We did a film about seven or eight years ago. That was where both Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other’s audition tapes on that film.

Tom Holland has Jon Bernthal to thank for helping him land the role of Spider-Man.

During a recent interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Bernthal said while working with Holland on Brendan Muldowney’s “Pilgrimage,” the pair collaborated on each other’s MCU audition tapes. While Holland helped Bernthal with his tryout for the leading role in the 2017 series “The Punisher,” Bernthal assisted Holland in landing the role of Spider-Man in “Captain America: Civil War.”

“We did [‘Pilgrimage’] about seven or eight years ago,” Bernthal said. “That was where both Tom did his audition for ‘Spider-Man’ and I did my audition for ‘Punisher.’ We actually made each other’s audition tapes on that film.”

Bernthal explained that Holland “really believed” that he would land that part despite heavy competition, often repeating “‘I am Spider-Man'” while working on his audition.

“I was like ‘There’s probably a lot of people that want to be Spider-Man,...

Jon Bernthal recently revisited a moment from early in his Marvel journey, recalling how he and Tom Holland assisted each other with audition tapes while filming the 2017 historical drama Pilgrimage. Bernthal auditioned for Frank Castle while Holland was preparing his take on Peter Parker.

“We did a film about seven or eight years ago,” Bernthal said during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. “That was where both Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other’s audition tapes on that film.”

Bernthal said Holland, then a teenager, approached the process with confidence. “He had such focus and such belief, it was so beautiful,” he said. “He would say, ‘I’m Spider-Man,’ I mean, he really believed he was going to get it.”

He remembered trying to manage Holland’s expectations while still encouraging him. “I was like, ‘There’s probably...

When Tom Holland auditioned for Spider-Man, he happened to be working on a film with Jon Bernthal, who was auditioning for the role of The Punisher at the same time. The pair helped each other with their audition tapes, and Bernthal recently told Jimmy Kimmel that he likes to take a “little” credit for Holland winning the role of Spidey.

“We did a film about seven or eight years ago,” Bernthal said. “That was where both Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other’s audition tapes [working] on that film.” Bernthal added that Holland “really believed he was going to get it.“

“I was like ‘There’s probably a lot of people that want to be Spider-Man, I mean, you’re super talented and all, but the odds are kind of against you, but yeah, let’s make the tape,...

Jon Bernthal takes “a little” bit of credit for his friend, Tom Holland, landing the role of Spider-Man.

The Accountant 2 and Spider-Man actors were working together on the 2017 film Pilgrimage when they both were prepping their auditions for their respective Marvel characters. Bernthal took on the role of The Punisher in the 2017 series of the same name while Holland made his debut as Spidey in Captain America: Civil War in 2016.

“We did a film about seven or eight years ago,” Bernthal said during a Thursday appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in reference to Pilgrimage. “That was where both Tom did his audition for Spider-Man and I did my audition for Punisher. We actually made each other’s audition tapes [working] on that film.”

As they began working on their auditions, Bernthall recalled Holland’s “focus” and “belief,” adding that “he really believed he was going to get it” and “would say,...

Spider-Man and The Punisher may have teamed up a few times in the Marvel comics, but that's nothing compared to their team-up in real life. Jon Bernthal recently opened up about it.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live (via Entertainment Weekly) Bernthal jokingly bragged about how he wanted to take "a little" credit for Tom Holland winning the role as Spider-Man. Spider-Man came into the MCU with 2016's Captain America: Civil Warand since then has gone on to be one of the superstars of the MCU, with a whole trilogy under his belt.

Bernthal explained that he saw Holland's audition tape for Spider-Man while the two of them were working on the movie Pilgrimage, and gave him notes. "He did this thing where he sort of slided into the scene and I gave him the note: 'Tom, maybe you should sort of run up that wall and do a...

Danny Dyer, a much loved figure on U.K. screens who recently made waves globally thanks to the Disney+ hit “Rivals,” is set to lead a new film.

Christopher Nolan's next movie, an adaptation of The Odyssey, is generating a huge amount of excitement in Hollywood. Now, as the filmmaker gears up to begin shooting his first fantasy epic, the star-studded cast has added another impressive name.

According to Deadline (via SFFGazette.com), Daredevil: Born Again and The Punisher star Jon Bernthal has joined the cast of the movie. His role is being kept under wraps, but he's the latest A-Lister to board the project which will be led by Spider-Man 4's Tom Holland.

Also part of the cast are Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, and Charlize Theron.

"Christopher Nolan’s next film The Odyssey is a mythic action epic shot across the world using brand new IMAX film technology," Universal Pictures revealed last month. "The film brings Homer’s foundational saga to Imax film screens for the first time and opens...

As per multiple reports, the Tom Holland (Spider-Man: No Way Home; Avengers: Endgame) has landed the lead role in Christopher Nolan's next epic movie, which is scheduled to begin shooting in early 2025, with an eye on a prime Summer 2026 release date. 

The fan-favorite actor was reportedly at the top of Nolan's wish list for this project and will now co-star with Academy Award-winner Matt Damon (Jason Bourne; Ford v Ferrari), who is set to reunite with Nolan for the third time in his career, after the sci-fi thriller Interstellar and last year's Best Picture winner Oppenheimer. 

Plot details on Nolan's latest film are being kept under wraps, but the film is rumored to be an action film and The Hollywood Reporter claims the setting is not present day. However, whether the film is set in the past or in the future remains a mystery. 

According to the trades, Nolan...

Tom Holland is set to return as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the coming years, but his new role in Christopher Nolan's next movie is even more exciting. Since breaking out with the life-changing superhero casting and his debut as Peter Parker in 2016, Holland's career has primarily been defined by playing the web-slinger. This is set to continue with him returning for Spider-Man 4 with Marvel Studios and Sony. While that film and his expected appearances in the two upcoming Avengers movies are highly anticipated, news that Holland will star in Christopher Nolan's new film is massive.

Nolan's Oppenheimer follow-up is shrouded in mystery, per usual for the director, so there is not much information about what role Holland will play. Still, with a 2026 release date and Matt Damon's involvement, the announcement of Holland's casting is incredibly exciting. It officially pairs the British star with...

Batman is a character that has one of the most unique personalities, classifying as the Byronic hero. He is perhaps one of the most successful superheroes in the United States of America.

Tom Holland is arguably the most popular star of his contemporaries due to his iconic role as Spider-Man in the MCU. The actor has played the character in various MCU films, including a hugely successful solo trilogy. Holland has also stepped out of blockbuster franchises and dabbled into various dramatic films that displayed his range as an actor.

Tom Holland as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: No Way Home

One of them was the 2017 medieval drama film Pilgrimage. Holland starred opposite fellow Marvel star Jon Bernthal. During one of the intense scenes in the film, Holland wanted to go full method and requested Bernthal to rough him up. This resulted in a surprising twist of events that helped him later during the shoot.

Pilgrimage Music & Culture Festival has revealed its 2024 lineup, featuring Hozier, Noah Kahan, Dave Matthews Band, and Needtobreathe as headliners.

The annual two-day event is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year at The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin, just south of Nashville, Tennessee. This year’s festival is set for September 28th and 29th.

While Pilgrimage often skews towards country, folk, and indie artists, this year’s lineup also boasts acts more in the vein of pop, bluegrass, and jazz, many of whom are local or native to the Nashville area. Pilgrimage 2024 promises sets from Lukas Nelson, Coin, Charlie Worsham, Stephen Sanchez, The Cadillac Three, Cassandra Lewis, Sierra Hull, Charles Peña, and Celisse.

“We couldn’t be more excited about our announce, and this year’s lineup checks all the boxes we could hope for to celebrate our 10th anniversary,” shares Better Than Ezra frontman and Pilgrimage co-founder Kevin Griffin.

Tom Holland responds to critics decimating his new TV show, The Crowded Room. The English actor is best known for his portrayal of Peter Parker/Spider-Man in six Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, starting with 2016's Captain America: Civil War and most recently, 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. In between MCU movies, Holland has often ventured outside the blockbuster film franchise, including for the new Apple TV+ limited series, The Crowded Room, in which he plays a psychologically distraught man accused of murder in 1979.

The Crowded Room, which premiered on June 9, has not fared well at all with critics, currently sitting at 30 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Holland responded to the overwhelmingly negative reviews of his new TV show, calling the critical response "a kick in the teeth." Read Holland's full response below:

It was a kick in the teeth. Rolling over, looking up the reviews,...

The Martian Manhunter is a tragic figure and his origin is far more brutal than fans realize. In 1998’s Martian Manhunter #0, J’onn relives his last days on Mars, as the planet died a violent death. A plague of madness had overtaken the planet, and in a bid to protect himself, the Martian Manhunter cut himself off telepathically from the rest of his species; furthermore, he watched his family be consumed by the plague.

J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter, first appeared in 1955’s Detective Comics #225, shortly before the dawn of comics’ Silver Age. Although the exact specifics of the Martian Manhunter's origin have changed over the last 68 years, the general gist remains the same: he is the last survivor of the planet Mars. He was brought to Earth in a teleporter accident and was thus spared the fate of his home world. The Martian Manhunter suffered an unspeakable tragedy,...

Supergirl is the true equal to the Martian Manhunter, not Superman. More often than not, discussions over who is equal to the Martian Manhunter usually center around the Man of Steel. In terms of power this comparison makes sense, but there is one Kryptonian who truly is on the Martian Manhunter’s level, and it is Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El. In 1998’s Martian Manhunter #0, J’onn witnesses the death of his home world - much like Supergirl - giving the two a strong connection.

In the story, titled “Pilgrimage” and written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Tom Mandrake, it's revealed that it is actually Supergirl that the Martian Manhunter shares the most in common with. The planet Mars is dying. Ma’alefa’ak, an evil Martian who lacks telepathy, has unleashed a virus - Hronmeer’s Curse - spread by telepathy. The Martian Manhunter wanders the planet, forced...

Warning: This article contains spoilers for "The Cellar." Proceed with caution.

"The Cellar" is a slow-burn horror movie. It's more about what's coming than what's happening. When the third act arrives in Brendan Muldowney's ("Pilgrimage") horror film, the story takes a sharp turn into the supernatural and features a rather impressive practical creature. Initially, however, things were meant to get a whole lot weirder for the film's central family that moves into the wrong house.

There were more creatures, for starters. Funny enough, the one creature that does arrive to shake things up? Crew members considered it a letdown on the set. During a...

No two ways about it: April’s a great month for the Criterion Channel, which (among other things; more in a second) adds two recent favorites. We’re thrilled at the SVOD premiere of Hamaguchi’s entrancing Wheel of Fortune and Fantasy, our #3 of 2021, and Bruno Dumont’s lacerating France, featuring Léa Seydoux’s finest performance yet.

Ethan Hawke’s Adventures in Moviegoing runs the gamut from Eagle Pennell’s Last Night at the Alamo to 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, while a 14-film John Ford retro (mostly) skips westerns altogether. And no notes on the Delphine Seyrig retro—multiple by Akerman, Ulrike Ottinger, Duras, a smattering of Buñuel, and Seyrig’s own film Be Pretty and Shut Up! That of all things might be the crown jewl.

The Irish-Belgian co-production, set to begin shooting in Roscommon this month, will star Eoin Macken and Elisha Cuthbert in the main cast. Brendan Muldowney is ready to start shooting his new film, an Irish-Belgian horror entitled The Cellar.

The film, penned by the helmer himself, tells the story of Keira Woods (Elisha Cuthbert), whose daughter mysteriously vanishes in the cellar of their new house in the country. Keira soon discovers there is an ancient and powerful entity controlling their home that she will have to face or risk losing her family’s souls forever. Alongside Cuthbert, Eoin Macken is attached in an undisclosed role. On this occasion, Muldowney will reunite with part of his Pilgrimage crew...

One of the best films of 2020 — and the last one I’ll get to see in a theater for who knows how long — Kelly Reichardt’s “First Cow” (Lionsgate) sees the director once again turning to the American frontier to tell a story about America now. John Magaro and Orion Lee play two men in pioneer-era Oregon who go into business selling fried-dough “oilycakes” to homesick miners, but find themselves in the crosshairs of the plutocrat who owns the territory’s only source of fresh milk. It’s gorgeous, elegaic, witty, and powerful — and you’ll crave some funnel cakes.

If you've been paying attention to the recent wave of Irish films you've most likely come across actor Hugh O'Conor at some point. He was the lead in hit comedy The Stag before playing a key support part opposite Tom Holland and Jon Bernthal in period adventure Pilgrimage, to name a pair of recent examples. But outside his acting work O'Conor is a very accomplished photographer and following some directing work in the music video and commercial world he's now applied those skills as he takes the helm with his directorial debut, Metal Heart.
