Without a doubt we are before one of the actors of the moment, boosted by the success of the films he has starred in within the Marvel universe but, also, for having known how to move outside of those records so as not to be pigeonholed in the role of Peter Parker. So much so that, taking a look at his barely 14-year career, we find productions of all genres. So we have decided to review, one by one, all the movies that he has starred in or at least appeared in one of the leading roles.
De Billy Elliot a Impossible
The truth is that little can be said at this point about an actor who is barely 26 years old, who was born in London in 1996 and at the age of 12 he was already starring in the lead role of the musical Billy Elliot, singing and dancing on stage. Although his baptism of fire we have to go find him in a Spanish production, from the year 2012 and directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, Impossible, which deals with the story of a family that travels to Thailand to spend Christmas in 2004 when they suffer the brutality of the tsunami that devastated those lands.
It was that role that put him on the map of the world of cinema and the one that opened the doors to everything that came after. A considerable amount of first-rate productions that have had unequal luck but where they shine, with special importance, the (so far) six films related to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Let's go see them.

2 – Avengers Infinity War (2018)
The two films that were originally going to be one, tell us about the Infinity Wars are curiously tied in the IMDb ranking, which gives an idea that one cannot be understood without the other. In this first one we will see the immense power of Thanos and the damage that he will cause throughout the Galaxy with his already iconic snap of the gauntlet. Spider-Man, along with Iron Man and Doctor Stranger, will team up to fight evil in the far reaches of the universe. The result, surely, you already know, right?

And at the end of the day, there are too many years giving life to Peter Parker to say goodbye with a mediocre film, something that the actor has always wanted to avoid.
