In 2011, he made his Walt Disney Pictures debut, voicing Shō in the UK dub of The Secret World of Arrietty.

While working on the 2015 film In the Heart of the Sea, Holland met Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. When it was announced that The Amazing Spider-Man franchise would be rebooted, and the character joining the franchise in co-productions between Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, Holland emailed Hemsworth to ask if he could put a good word in to Marvel Studios for his audition. As of April 2015, he was one of five actors reported to be on the shortlist for the role, a list that included Asa Butterfield and Timothée Chalamet. On June 23, Tom Holland was cast as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, starting with the 2016 film Captain America: Civil War. He reprised the role in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and is set to do so again in an untitled Spider-Man film and an as-yet unannounced Marvel Studios production. He also portrayed the character in the upcoming Avengers Campus attraction, Web Slingers: A Spider-Man Adventure.

In 2019, Holland played Walter Beckett in the 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky film Spies in Disguise.
