This week it was revealed that Tom Holland is cast as the new Spider-Man. Now that we know who will be playing the webslinger, it might be a good moment to take a look at the instagram videos posted by Holland that some theorize may have helped him land the job. The videos feature the star performing Parkour-level street flips, jumps, and more. Hit the jump and watch videos of the 19-year-old’s impressive amateur stunt which he posted to social media.

We first mentioned these videos in Superhero Bits but I thought we should give them a bigger spotlight on the front page. The following videos were posted over the last 5 months, with some of them appearing online only days before the casting announcement.
