The Impossible (2012)
The Impossible is the best disaster film of the twenty-first century. Naomi Watts plays Maria Bennett, a doctor on Christmas.
Actor: Tom Holland
Tom Holland came from the West End production of Billy Elliot, where he danced the lead, and the physical training is visible in how the Spider-Man performance moves.
He was cast at nineteen and is the first actor to play the character at approximately the right age, which is why the Marvel films could use high school as an actual setting.
The Impossible, made when he was fifteen, is the dramatic performance and remains his best, carrying long stretches opposite Naomi Watts.
The Devil All the Time and Cherry were deliberate attempts to move away from the franchise, with mixed results, and he has been candid about the difficulty of that transition.
