Tom Holland is preparing to film a Fred Astaire biopic after revealing in July 2026 that he has already started rehearsals. The actor plans to perform every dance himself, without doubles, and shoot the numbers in uninterrupted takes inspired by Astaire’s own screen style. Holland discussed the project during back to back press appearances for The Odyssey and Spider Man: Brand New Day , which are arriving within weeks of each other. On Good Morning America , Holland said his first rehearsals brought both excitement and serious nerves because he wants to honor Astaire’s legacy. Can Tom Holland Pull Off the Astaire Footwork? The challenge is personal as well as technical. Holland got his breakout performing in London’s West End production of Billy Elliot the Musical , but he has said he stopped dancing after that run, making the Astaire role a high stakes return to a skill he once left behind. Holland also returned to the central London studio where he first trained for Billy Elliot . During an appearance on Live With Kelly and Mark , Holland described the biopic as the kind of intimidating project he wants for the next phase of his career, calling the opportunity both thrilling and terrifying.
