Butch Hartman’s Ideal Choice: Tom Holland as Danny Phantom
Butch Hartman, the creator of the beloved Nickelodeon show Danny Phantom, recently expressed his desire to see Tom Holland, known for his role as Spider-Man, portray the teenage ghost in a potential live-action movie.

Without hesitation, Hartman responded, ‘Tom Holland, all the way. It’s got to be Tom Holland.’ The audience’s excitement was palpable as they imagined Holland taking on the role of the iconic supernatural superhero.
The Story of Danny Phantom
Originally airing on Nickelodeon in 2007, Danny Phantom follows the story of 14-year-old Danny Fenton. After an accident involving his parents’ ghost portal, Danny gains incredible supernatural abilities. These powers allow him to phase through walls, become invisible, and even fly. Alongside his friends, Danny embarks on various adventures, capturing ghosts and sending them back to the Ghost Dimension.
Fans’ Longing for a Danny Phantom Revival
The panel discussion took place just months before Danny Phantom’s 20th anniversary in April. Despite the show concluding years ago, fans have long been clamoring for its return, whether in the form of an animated continuation or a live-action adaptation. The recent inclusion of Danny Phantom as a playable character in Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 further fueled fans’ hopes for a revival.
It is worth noting that Tom Holland is currently 27 years old, which means that if a live-action Danny Phantom movie were to be made, he would likely be in his 30s by then. While this may deter some from envisioning Holland as the teenage ghost, his talent and ability to portray youthful characters make him a compelling choice.
Butch Hartman’s suggestion of Tom Holland as Danny Phantom resonates with fans who can easily see the actor taking on the role with his trademark charm and charisma. Although the realization of this dream casting may be a distant possibility, the idea of Holland embodying the beloved character brings excitement and anticipation to Danny Phantom enthusiasts.
The Legacy of Danny Phantom
As fans eagerly await any news of a potential Danny Phantom revival, the prospect of seeing Tom Holland don the iconic white hair and black jumpsuit of the teenage ghost is undoubtedly an enticing thought. Until then, the legacy of Danny Phantom lives on through reruns and fond memories, keeping the spirit of the show alive in the hearts of its dedicated fanbase.
