Tom Holland Calls THIS Russo Brothers’ Drama One of His Best Acting Experiences

Tom Holland is reflecting on his powerful and underrated performance in Cherry, the 2021 film directed by Joe and Anthony Russo. Known for his iconic role as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Holland stepped into a dramatically different character for Cherry, where he plays a college student who grapples with PTSD and addiction after serving in Iraq. Based on Nico Walker’s novel, the film explores the harrowing effects of trauma and the challenges of coming home from war.

In a recent interview with Men’s Health, Holland expressed how proud he is of the role, calling it one of his most rewarding acting experiences. “I’m incredibly proud of that movie,” he said, reflecting on how the depth and complexity of the character pushed him in new, dramatic directions. Unlike his superhero roles, Cherry required Holland to delve into a raw, intense narrative, showcasing a different side of his acting range.

Joe Russo, the film’s director, also praised the unique style of Cherry, noting how its six chapters—each with a different tone and visual approach—add to its dynamic storytelling. He described elements like magical realism, absurdism, and even horror, making it a film that defies traditional narrative forms.

Cherry stands as a testament to Holland’s versatility as an actor, showing that he has much more to offer beyond the superhero genre. The movie is available for streaming on Apple TV+, offering a deeper look at Holland’s evolving career.
