Spider-Man was going through a rough spell, Sony owned the rights to the film and made two great movies in the Toby Maguire directed first and second Spidey flicks, but then the series took a tumble when Spider-Man started to dance and became an emo-kid.
The reboot attempt was all right but it left a lot to be desired but then the second movie in the reboot nearly put the nail in the coffin for one of the world’s most recognizable characters. Butsmartly Sony decided to give Marvel and Spider-Man the reins of the film: Homecoming was released.

Tony was cast in the age old role of Flash
Tony was cast in the age old role of
Flash which was derided by fans, but this iteration of Flash was totally
different from what we saw before. The character was not as popular or strong
of a bully like in the past flicks. This was a roll-your-eyes at Flash and we
loved the fact they tweaked the character.
After the casting was announced and
a Guatemalan kid of brown ethnicity was cast in the white boy role of Flash,
there was a massive uproar among fans and some even becoming violent and
sending the actor death threats and he was privy to some hate mails from the
toxic fan base.
But with his performance the actor
proved everyone wrong and he brought a new spin to a tried and tested character
which was a welcome change. Flash Thompson returned again in the second movie
Far From Home where his character was even more fleshed out and his battles
with Peter were some of the most exciting beats in the movie.
Other Prominent Movies and TV
Roles of the Actor
Early on in his life, work was only
limited to short films and commercials and slowly the actor started to appear
in bit part roles in various shows till he got his breakout role in the Wes
Anderson cult-classic movie The Grand Budapest Hotel where he played the
character of Zero Moustafa.
For an actor who was struggling and
movies to movies, this supporting role where he was featured heavily was the
turning point in the actors’ career. For his portrayal the actor received
multiple nominations and this was by the far the best role of the actor till
date.
After the display in the movie the
actor was hired in multiple roles from critical and semi commercial success
Dope to the panned movie The 5th Wave which was hated by both the critics and
the fans of the book. Then the actor appeared in Lowriders which finally led to
the actor being cast in a prominent role in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
While his acting career in the movies was going strong the actor was also cast in Son of Zorn where he played the character of Scott Schmidt for five episodes.
Disney and Sony recently agreed
terms to allow Spider-Man to appear in one more solo Spider-Man movie which
probably mean the actor is coming back to play his role of Flash Thompson and
considering how the last movie ended and the love Flash shows for Peter the new
dynamic between the characters will be hilarious to see, but we will need to
wait till the end of Phase 4 to see how everything shakes out in the end.
