How to watch Cherry in the UK
The latest film from the Russo Brothers stars Tom Holland in the lead role.
The last film directed by Anthony and Joe Russo was the small matter of Avengers: Endgame – which only went on to become the highest-grossing film of all time, so it's safe to say all eyes will be on their next venture.
This time around, the directing brothers have turned their attention to rather a different source material: Nico Walker's 2018 crime novel Cherry, which centres on an Army medic with PTSD who becomes addicted to opioids.
And while that subject matter might be far away from Endgame, they can rely on a cast led by one of Marvel's stars – with Spidey himself Tom Holland taking on the lead role as the eponymous character.
