            We reported on Chaos Walking months ago when it was announced that Doug Liman (Edge of Tomorrow, Jumper) would be directing and Daisy Ridley would star. Now according to Slash Film, it seems that Tom Holland is in talks to join the movie as well.

            The movie that is based on the post-apocalyptic young adult novel is set to start shooting in the first quarter of 2017. Chaos Walking was a trilogy of books written by Patrick Ness in which all living people and creatures can hear other’s thoughts through images, words and sounds. Holland would play a boy named Todd Hewitt who’s never seen a woman in his life but when him and his dog escape town he meets Viola Eade (played by Ridley).

            Holland has recently risen to the spotlight since playing Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and now in the remainder of the MCU with the upcoming Spider-Man: Homecoming in which he stars and is rumored to have a role in Avengers: Infinity War. In addition to that, he’s set to appear in a few other movies next year including The Lost City of Z alongside Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson and he’ll play Samuel Insull in The Current War.
