reprise the role of Peter Parker in Spider-Man 4.

Holland has kept busy both personally and professionally, though, in the past several months. He's launched Bero, a non-alcoholic beer brand, and his production company Billy17 signed a first-look deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment that will see Holland potentially starring in several projects. It was also recently confirmed that he is engaged to long-time girlfriend and fellow star Zendaya. As busy as Holland is though, there is one viral fancasting that has started to pick up steam.

His Resemblance To Tony Goldwyn Is Uncanny

revolved around Kerry Washington as the professional fixer Olivia Pope, depicting how capable she is at fixing the problems of others. This is despite her own messy personal life that includes an affair with U.S. President Fitzgerald Grant III, who is played by Tony Goldwyn for all seven seasons and 124 episodes.

On Threads, Washington reacted to the viral fancasting of Holland as a young Fitzgerald in a Scandal prequel given the strong resemblance between Goldwyn and Holland. In her Threads post, the Emmy winner endorsed Holland for the role and reacted to the facial similarity between the two actors. Check out the post below:

With a ing Scandal cast that also featured Darby Stanchfield, Katie Lowes, Guillermo Díaz, Jeff Perry, and Bellamy Young, among several others, it's worth noting that the ABC show included plenty of flashbacks between Olivia and Fitz. A prequel would presumably have to go in a different direction, though that's a long way from happening.

Our Take On Holland Leading A Scandal Prequel

It's Fun To Imagine

It is ittedly an idea that would excite a TV executive, given the star power of Holland and Scandal's existing audience. But the young actor has a full slate of films, and it would be hard to see a prequel to a 2010s show getting included in his to-do list. Still, it's hard to deny that the resemblance is there. It's a different role for Holland, potentially lighter than his non-blockbuster fare, which would make it more fun.
