It's obvious that Peter Parker will be younger in an untitled new Spider-Man movie, but fans still don't know the specific age of the webslinger. Tom Holland, a 19-year-old actor who is tapped to portray Spider-Man, seemingly will play a bit younger character when he dons the red-and-blue suit as director Jon Watts reveals that Parker will be 15 years old in the upcoming reboot.

Speaking to Empire Magazine, Watts shares his thought about the movie while also revealing the age of the wallcrawler. "There are only so many times you can kill Uncle Ben. I love the idea of making a coming-of-age high school movie," he says. "We're really going to see Peter Parker in high school and get deeper into that side of it. He's just 15 now."

Since Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of the webslinger were at the end of their high school in the previous films, the new Spider-Man played by Holland will be the youngest one who has ever hit big screen. "Tom was pretty perfect. He's very athletic. He can actually do a backflip!" Watts praises Holland's parkour skills. "If he didn't already capture the spirit of the character, with that on top the kid is Spider-Man."

Holland's Spider-Man will make an appearance in upcoming "Captain America: Civil War" which is slated to be released in the U.S. on May 6, 2016. He will next be seen in his own solo movie to be released Stateside on July 28, 2017.
