Tom Holland’s favorite movie of all time is a record-breaking sci-fi thriller

Tom Holland has had a bit of a tough time outside of his Marvel exploits. In 2022 Holland announced that he would be taking a well-deserved break Which will likely do the actor some good considering his career choices as of late. Besides his role as the wall-crawling Spider-Man, the British actor led a disappointing version of the video game “Uncharted” and The bloated mess of a movie that was the Russo brothers’ “cherry.” Then there was Doug Liman’s Chaos Walking which saw Holland caught up in a bleak and shockingly late attempt to cash in on the dystopian craze of young people. Even Apple TV, which has been producing a string of great series in recent years, couldn’t help Holland, whose “packed room” was met with negative reviews.

But when you’re this generation’s Spider-Man, it’s going to take more than just a few duds to end your career. Holland is now gearing up for a triumphant return that will see him headline what will surely be two of the biggest films of 2026. The Dutch film “Spider-Man 4” will face an unexpected battle at the box office When it clashes with the actor’s other upcoming big role in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming film. This should ensure that 2026 becomes Tom Holland’s summer Nolan’s retelling of a Greek epic It looks like it’s going to be the biggest cinematic event of the year, followed closely by Spidey’s next outing.

Meanwhile, Holland seems to have a deep love for another popular film series. Although he has yet to make his way into this particular saga, this same saga is responsible for the actor’s favorite film of all time.

Asked by Men’s health What is his favorite movie, Tom Holland revealed that it is James Cameron’s epic sci-fi film ‘Avatar’. together $2.9 billion At the box office, the 2009 film remains the highest-grossing film of all time, with the Dutch “Spider-Man: No Way Home” coming relatively close with a total of $1.9 billion. However, Holland seems very happy that Cameron’s computer-generated festival is overtaking her, telling Men’s Health: “I’m not ashamed to say ‘Avatar,'” she told Men’s Health..“”

Why would there be any shame to take? Maybe because “Avatar” is relatively new? Or perhaps Hollande feels he should have some kind of independent artistic effort at the top of his list? Either way, there’s absolutely no shame in someone having a personal favorite movie. Unfortunately, Holland hasn’t explained why Cameron’s film remains his favorite film of all time, though “Avatar” would have arrived when the actor was just 13 years old, so it likely represents one of his formative cinematic experiences.

Interestingly, Holland managed to outperform his favorite film at the domestic box office “No Way Home” surpasses “Avatar” to become the third highest-grossing film in the United States After taking $814,866,759 To Cameron $785,221,649.

James Cameron is currently preparing to present it The fearsome fiery Na’vi clan in “Avatar: Fire & Ash”. The film is scheduled for release in December 2025, and will also be followed by a fourth installment, and since Cameron has already filmed both films, it seems unlikely that Tom Holland will appear on Pandora anytime soon – unless he films a secret cameo. That’s kind of a shame, considering the actor is in sort of a recalibration mode after his non-Spidey career moves. Bolstering Christopher Nolan and Spider-Man 4 projects with some Avatar action work would certainly go a long way to proving that the man can do a lot more than just play the web-slinger.

However, I would rather see Holland try the drama again. Just because “Cherry” and “The Crowded Room” didn’t pan out doesn’t mean he should give up, especially since his performance in… “The Devil All The Time” in the starry Southern Gothic style It was a decent showing from the Brits. What’s more, While “Avatar” is impressive, there are arguably more exciting projects that sit on the true frontiers of filmmaking And seeing Holland embrace some of the new generation of filmmakers would arguably be more exciting than seeing him get the Na’vi treatment.
