According to Deadline, Spider-Man star Tom Holland reteams with former Sony Pictures boss Amy Pascal through her Pascal Pictures company to star in Beneath a Scarlet Sky, based on the 2017 fact-based novel of the same name by Mark Sullivan. While still without a director or screenwriter, producers Pascal and Rachel O’Connor are doing early work on the adaptation, having just acquired the film rights to Mark Sullivan’s novel, which was just released on May 1. The story itself was the product of investigative journalism from Sullivan – a former Peace Corps volunteer in Africa – that dramatizes the personal account of the real-life Pino Lella, who recently turned 91 years old and lives Milan. Of course, before Tom Holland uses his intuition to spy on Nazis in Beneath a Scarlet Sky (which might just evoke a “Scarlet Spider” joke or two from Marvel fans), he’ll first utilize his Spidey senses again as Marvel’s Wall-Crawler, joining an array of Marvel heroes in 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, its untitled 2019 megamovie follow-up and just a few months later, the untitled Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel. He’ll next be seen opposite Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Shannon in the historical electricity drama The Current War, which arrives on December 22, 2017.
