If you saw Guy Ritchie's latest movie, 2019's "The Gentlemen," as a return to form, then you'll be happy with what I'm about to tell you.

Ritchie is following up his comic caper film "The Gentlemen" with another crime flick, "Cash Truck," due out next year. Indeed, this is extra-great news for old school Ritchie fans, as it reunites him with his early-era muse, Jason Statham.

Q: Between his role as Spider-Man and his epic "Lip Sync Battle" performance, Tom Holland seems to be pretty gifted with his acrobatics. Was he a dancer or something beforehand?

Not "or" -- he was a dancer and more.

You're right to grab on to the dancing aspect first, though. Vox did the same thing in a fawning article explaining why Tom Holland is a better Spider-Man than predecessors Tobey Maguire (in the mid-2000s series of films) and Andrew Garfield (in the early 2010s films).
