Tom Holland wants to do Fred Astaire proud and pull off all the dance numbers in his upcoming biopic himself.<\/p>\n

While talking to \u201cGood Morning America,\u201d Holland explained that once he got done with his current press tour gauntlet promoting both \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d and \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day,\u201d he was getting right back into the dance studio to put his full focus into the Astaire biopic. The star wants to handle all dance numbers in the film himself rather than rely on doubles. <\/p>\n

\u201cI did my first few rehearsals recently, and it both filled me with excitement and absolute dread because I\u2019ve got so much work to do to try and do Fred proud,\u201d Holland said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI have a desire to use no doubles, to do all of the dancing, to shoot those dances in one shot \u2013 how he would have done it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holland is bringing quite a bit of experience to the role, so his dream for the dances is certainly achievable. He previously starred in the titular role in the West End production of \u201cBilly Elliot the Musical\u201d and is trained in dance \u2013 something that he\u2019s leaned into for the physical shoots asked of him playing Spider-Man.<\/p>\n

The Astaire biopic is being helmed by Paul King \u2013 who directed the first two \u201cPaddington\u201d films and \u201cWonka.\u201d Lee Hall, whose previous credits include \u201cBilly Elliot,\u201d wrote the screenplay. It\u2019s being produced by Amy Pascal,\u00a0Rachael O\u2019Connor,\u00a0Ben Holden and\u00a0Josh Hyams.<\/p>\n

Holland\u2019s big July is continuing on before he can get back to the dance studio. \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d opened to rave reviews on July 17 and the fourth film in his \u201cSpider-Man\u201d franchise drops in theaters July 31.<\/p>\n
