Tom Holland has traded in his superhero spandex for the role of a potential serial killer in the first thrilling trailer for The Crowded Room.
The Marvel megastar, who portrays Peter Parker and his superpowered alter-ego Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), looks almost unrecognizable in the Apple TV Plus show’s first teaser. Sporting long, straggly hair and a pale complexion, Holland’s Danny Sullivan is a far cry from everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood wallcrawler – especially when Sullivan appears to be responsible for a spate of murders in 1970s New York.
Take a look at the trailer for The Crowded Room below:
Per Apple TV’s press site, The Crowded Room stars Holland as the aforementioned Sullivan, a reclusive man who was arrested following his apparent involvement in a shooting in 1979. To prove his innocence, Sullivan conducts a series of interviews with police investigator Rya Goodwin (Amanda Seyfried), who slowly unravels Sullivan’s mysterious past and his possible involvement in more than one crime.
The period-set psychological thriller, which is based on Daniel Keyes’ The Minds of Billy Milligan novel, marks Holland’s second appearance in an Apple TV Plus project. Previously, Holland had starred in the Russo brothers’ movie Cherry, which debuted on one of the world’s best streaming services in February 2021. Cherry didn’t make it onto our best Apple TV Plus movies list because, well, it’s not very good. But, given how suspenseful and dramatic The Crowded Room looks, Holland may finally see his second Apple-led venture make it onto our best Apple TV Plus shows article very soon.
Joining Holland Seyfried as part of the cast are Emmy Rossum (Shameless), Will Chase (Nashville), Sasha Lane (American Honey), Lior Raz (Hit and Run), Emma Laird (Mayor of Kingstown), Christopher Abbott (Girls), and Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter).
Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind, Transformers: The Last Knight) is on showrunning duties, and is joined by Suzanne Heathcote, Henrietta Ashworth, Jessica Ashworth, Cortney Norris, and Gregory Lassens in the writers’ room. Kornél Mundruczó (Pieces of a Woman) is the only confirmed director so far.
The Crowded Room launches exclusively on Apple TV Plus with a three-episode premiere on June 9.
