Adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon show. During a panel at MegaCon, Hartman expressed his enthusiasm for Holland to portray the teenage ghost, Danny Fenton.
According to IGN, Hartman reiterated his choice, saying,
“It’s got to be Tom Holland, all the way.”
Butch Hartman created Danny Phantom, which originally aired in April 2004. The animated series had three seasons and a total of 53 episodes on Nickelodeon, concluding on August 24, 2007. The show follows the story of Danny Fenton, a teenage boy who becomes a human-ghost hybrid after an accident with his parents’ Ghost Portal. With the support of his best friends, Sam and Tucker, Danny protects his family and town from villainous ghosts while learning to control his supernatural abilities.
Since the series ended in 2007, fans have been campaigning for a revival of Danny Phantom. They have expressed their desire for a fourth season, an animated movie, or a sequel series. Recently, insider Daniel Richtman reported on Reddit that Paramount Pictures is in the early stages of developing a live-action theatrical Danny Phantom film.
However, it’s worth noting that Tom Holland might already have commitments that could hinder his participation in a live-action Danny Phantom movie. He recently announced his return to London’s West End for a performance in the Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet.
