Tom Holland has found his dance partners for Sony Pictures’ yet-to-be-titled Fred Astaire biopic: Margaret Qualley and Sabrina Carpenter.

Fred and Adele were major stars on Broadway and London’s West End before Fred went on to be one of cinema’s greatest stars, with co-star and dance partner Ginger Rogers.
