I have not seen Hacksaw Ridge but have heard nothing but good buzz surrounding it so I would suspect that this lad does indeed have some acting chops. To be completely honest I never saw him as a great Spider-Man. He seemed like more the bully who would be picking on Spider-man. He seemed far to secure in himself  to be playing Peter Parker, awkward teenager

It’s probably because he was a 27 at the time….
