Always a gentleman: the Tom Holland style evolution
Take a look at how Tom Holland's style has evolved from casual to refined Since swinging into the spotlight as everyone's favourite friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, Tom Holland has steadily grown into one of Hollywood's most in-demand young actors. Long before his Marvel debut, the British actor was honing his craft on the West End stage and in indie films. Over the years, it's not just his acting that's matured. His style has gradually shifted, too. Whether he's teeing off on the golf course, hitting the red carpet or keeping it casual on the streets, Holland consistently leans into a clean and classic aesthetic. In recent years, his fashion choices have grown noticeably more refined, no doubt influenced by his stylish fiancée, Zendaya and her ever-influential image-maker Law Roach. In honour of the Spidey star's 29th birthday, we're taking a look back at Tom Holland's evolving style journey.

India need their Spidey to lead: Rishabh Pant's test of maturity begins
"With great power comes great responsibility."That line didn't just shape Peter Parker into Spider-Man—it made him a hero. A team player. A leader. And as India get ready to begin a new era in Test cricket with the five-match series against England starting June 20 at Headingley, it's time for India's very own Spidey—Rishabh Pant—to take that lesson to Spidey by fans for his reflexes behind the stumps and his acrobatic strokeplay, Pant is no longer just a crowd-puller or dressing-room hype man. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma retired from Test cricket, and India entering a period of transition, the 27-year-old finds himself suddenly as one of the most experienced members of the squad—and more importantly, the vice-captain. But this isn't just a title. It's a turning point in his career. Peter Parker got his suit from Stark, but he had to earn the weight of being an Avenger. Similarly, Pant is now second-in-command to a new captain, Shubman Gill, who himself is taking on the burden of leadership for the first time in a full-fledged Test series. If Gill is India's new Captain America in whites, then he'll need his Spidey—not just to sling boundaries, but to steady the more just slinging for styleadvertisementPant has always been the wild card—scooping fast bowlers, reverse-sweeping off-spinners, chirping from behind the stumps and, more often than not, pulling India back from tricky situations with bat in hand. In England, his record is solid: 556 runs from nine Tests at an average of 32.70, including two centuries and two fifties. On how is he looking at the #TeamIndia Test vice-captaincy role Hear what Rishabh Pant had to say #ENGvIND | @RishabhPant17 BCCI (@BCCI) June 18, 2025Perhaps the most memorable of those came in Edgbaston in 2022, when Pant walked in with India teetering at 98 for 5. What followed was nothing short of superhero stuff—a counter-attacking 146 off 111 balls, full of daring stroke play and fearless intent. Alongside Ravindra Jadeja, Pant rescued India and reminded fans of his game-breaking day, Pant went from stuntman to saviour. But now, India need that more more "stupid, stupid, stupid" momentsFlashback to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Pant, once again in a pressure situation, chose flair over patience—playing a rash scoop against Scott Boland when India needed stability. His dismissal for 28 triggered one of the most viral commentary clips in recent memory, as Sunil Gavaskar let loose with a furious: 'Stupid, stupid, stupid.'advertisementIt wasn't just criticism—it was a cold reminder. Because everyone, from fans to former players, knows what Pant is capable of. But with seniority comes the expectation to read the moment better. You can't swing from buildings blindly—not when you're carrying a nation's acknowledged that shift ahead of the series, saying he's relishing the senior role and is eager to help guide the young squad."It feels good but at the same time, you know it's a responsibility also to share your knowledge, your experience with our new players, new youngsters coming to the team. But at the same time, not focusing on that senior part too much, you still have to play the game, you still have to learn the game as an individual and keep helping people around you. That's how I look at it," Pant said during the press talk needs to be backed by performance. This time, Spidey can't just be flashy—he needs to be shield needs Pant's webWhile Pant prepares to evolve, the spotlight is equally bright on Shubman Gill, India's new captain. At 25, he's stepping into the shoes of legends and steering a squad in transition. While Gill brings calm and class, his leadership journey is just like Iron Man needed Spider-Man on the battlefield, Gill would need Pant in the trenches. As a bridge between the dressing room and the pitch. As a voice of experience in England. As the one who's walked these paths and knows how to survive cloudy mornings and reverse Pant slated to bat at No. 5, he's not just a match-winner—he's a match-shaper. His decisions, his partnerships, his shot selection will matter more than ever in the 2025–2027 World Test Championship cycle. A strong start at Headingley could define the arc of India's red-ball the multiverse to maturityPant's Spider-Man persona has always thrilled the fans. His banter, his boldness, his ability to shift gears in a flash—it's all part of the spectacle. But India now need more than a multiverse maverick. They need a mature match-winner. One who knows when to swing, and when to hold Peter Parker's evolution from Homecoming to No Way Home, Pant's path now calls for responsibility. He's not just the rookie with talent anymore. He's vice-captain, a leader, and a symbol of India's new he gets it right, this series could be Pant's Avengers moment—the one where the crowd favourite turns into the cornerstone. Where the chaos gives way to clarity. Where power finally meets while Shubman Gill may wear the captain's shieldIndia's fate may still hang by the web spun by Spidey. You May Also Like

Legend already? Pant on path of overtaking Dhoni as Asias best wicketkeeper-batter in SENA conditions
Leeds [UK], June 19 (ANI): After a disastrous Indian Premier League (IPL) outing as a skipper and batter for Lucknow Super Giants, India's star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has a chance to redeem himself, outdoing his ex-skipper and icon MS Dhoni to become the most successful wicketkeeper-batter in South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia (SENA) conditions. Since his Test debut in 2018, there have been several words that have defined Pant's game, especially in overseas conditions. counter-attacking, bold, audacious, stubborn, risky, foolish, match-turning, etc. It could leave fans and opponents stunned for a second and then, fuming at him the very next second, because of a rash shot that landed in a fielder's hands somewhere. But one thing is for sure: Pant in Test cricket is a blockbuster act, both for his unpredictability and intelligent crisis management. The fact that four out of his six centuries have come in SENA conditions speaks volumes about his adaptability in tough situations. During his past tours to Australia and England, fans have seen him knock around a few deliveries for singles and doubles to assess the pitch and then put his 'Spidey' suit on to perform batting acrobatics like no others. Pant falling on the ground while attempting a shot, the bat slipping out of his hand while taking the aerial route, or him unleashing a one-handed sixer, one can never predict what is coming next. One more century during this England tour, starting from Friday, will witness him score his fifth century in SENA conditions, the most by an Asian batter. One each has come in South Africa, two in England, and one in Australia. Also, another century will take his Test century count to seven, the most by an Indian batter, surpassing MS Dhoni's tally of six tons. Currently in SENA, Pant has scored 1,681 runs in 26 Tests and 48 innings at an average of 37.35, with four centuries and five fifties. A half-century is all he needs to become the top run-getter among all Asians in SENA conditions, overtaking Dhoni, who has scored 1,731 runs in 32 matches and 60 innings at an average of 31.47, with 13 half-centuries. With a 24-year-old Dhruv Jurel hot on his heels with consistent performances for India A, it is extremely important that Pant has a fine series in England. While a player of Pant's calibre cannot be dropped so easily, he did have an underwhelming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, with 255 runs in nine innings at an average of 28.33 and just one fifty.

New Spider-Man Series Resolves Decades-Old Cliffhanger

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The popular 1990s cartoon "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" infamously ended on a huge cliffhanger. Now, thirty years after the show's conclusion, Marvel Comics is finally resolving that story with the limited series "Spider-Man '94". First look at #SpiderMan '94. A 4-issue comic series that will follow up from the cliffhanger of the '90s Spider-Man animated series. Written by J.M. DeMatteis with art by Jim Towe — Screen Rant (@screenrant) June 18, 2025 Read More: Captain Kirk Back From the Dead in New 'Star Trek' Series The artist of "Spider-Man '94" is Jim Towe, while the writer is J.M.

Marvel "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" ends with Mary Jane Watson stranded in another reality and Spider-Man searching for her. This will presumably be the first thing "Spider-Man '94" needs to address. According to IGN, the official description of the series is as follows: "After searching to the ends of the Multiverse, PETER PARKER – the AMAZING, the SPECTACULAR, the RADIOACTIVE Web-Head himself – A.K.A. SPIDER-MAN, swings back into the streets of New York City with his beloved Mary Jane WATSON in tow!" "But what's this? One of these villains is not like the others: Witness this universe's debut of not one, but TWO of Spider-Man's greatest villains from the comics!" "Legendary Spider-Scribe J.M. DeMATTEIS and rising star artist JIM TOWE bring you the return you've all been waiting thirty years for! And you're never going to expect the twists and turns ahead for your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!" "Break out your action figures, and post up in front of the TV as we bring you back to the greatest era of animated super hero television in history!" "The 1990s Spider-Man animated series has become a beloved part of Spidey lore—it was the introduction to Peter Parker and his universe for an entire generation—and I'm delighted to be diving back into that universe," DeMatteis told IGN. "We're treating this as the next season of the show, which means introducing new villains, new challenges, new adventures for Peter—while doing our best to remain true to the creative spirit that John Semper and Company established with the original show." While old-school fans of "Spider-Man: The Animated Series" were hoping for an animated series revival along the lines of Disney+'s hit series "X-Men '97", they'll have to settle for the next best thing. Particularly since Disney+ has moved forward with more seasons of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," a "Spider-Man '94" animated series is unlikely to materialize. "Spider-Man '94" #1 will be available on September 3, 2025. More Comics: DC's 'Clayface' Lead Has Been Found Robert Downey Jr. Surprises 'Ironheart' Stars with Interview Appearance
