In “Captain America: Civil War,” audiences got a first peek at Tom Holland as a vibrant and witty Spidey.
Now, as he’s making Sony’s upcoming “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” we have proof that he also has the moves to play the iconic comic book hero in his first standalone film for the franchise.
Watch Holland’s new Instagram video below and see him follow his stunt coordinator’s instruction as he attempts a high-flying jump.

Of course, Holland nailed the “side-semi” flip with a big kick and left-foot landing. Pretty cool.
It’s no secret the former “Billy Elliot” Broadway star has dance skills, but now acrobatics can be added to his résumé.
Just last week he cut a rug with “Homecoming” co-star Zendaya:

Earlier this summer, Holland Instagrammed an in-costume selfie from way up high on the set of “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” exactly one year to the day before its July 7, 2017 release. And it looked like a swinging stunt was about to go down, with crash pads and crew in view.
Directed by John Watts, “Homecoming” also stars Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., Marisa Tomei, Donald Glover, Logan Marshall-Green, Martin Starr, Hannibal Buress, Abraham Attah, Tony Revolori and Angourie Rice.
In a recent bit of surprise casting, Zendaya Coleman was announced to play Mary Jane Watson in the upcoming “Spider-Man: Homecoming.”
Stan Lee, creator of the comic book character who came to life 50 years ago in the pages of “The Amazing Spider-Man” comic book, later endorsed the move.
“If she is as good an actress as I hear she is, I think it’ll be absolutely wonderful,” Lee said in an interview with the Toronto Sun.
TheWrap exclusively broke the news of Zendaya’s casting earlier this month, after which many fans came out both in for and against the casting decision.
