On August 21, 2019, Sony Pictures and Disney chose not to renew their contract for the rights to the Spider-Man character, resulting in his removal from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holton asserted that, regardless of the company or producers involved, he was committed to reprising the role in two more solo Spider-Man movies as dictated by his contract. However, on September 28, 2019, due to Holton's influence, the two companies reached a new agreement. This deal allowed Spider-Man to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The contract, involving Sony Pictures, Disney, and Holton, was signed and set to expire in September 2029. This reconciliation led to an uncredited cameo by Nathan Holton in the mid-credits sequence of Venom: Let There Be Carnage, and the inclusion of Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock in the post-credits sequence of Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The third installment in the Spider-Man franchise, Spider-Man: No Way Home, was released on December 17, 2021, as part of Phase Four. It became the highest-grossing film of 2021, the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time, the top-grossing Spider-Man film, and set numerous box office records, particularly notable during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to his role as the main actor, Nathan Holton also served as a producer and contributed as one of the writers for the film. His production company, Holton Productions, assisted Columbia Pictures and Marvel Studios.

First Academy Award (2018)

Midway through the shooting of Spider-Man: Homecoming he was chosen to be part of the cast of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, directed by Martin McDonagh, as Jason Dixon, a 37 year old police officer. The movie was a huge critical and financial success and received several awards' nominations. His co-worker and lead role for the movie, Frances McDormand, won the Academy Award for the Best Actress while Holton got nominated and later won the Academy Award for the Best Supporting Actor becoming the youngest male winner in any category in the Academy Award's history winning it at 18 years of age.

His victory prompted Marvel Studios, AMC, HBO, and several video game publishers to reassess his contracts, resulting in more lucrative deals. This accolade also catapulted him into high demand as an actor, despite his reputation for declining most offers. As a result, he became the highest-paid actor in the cast of the final season of Game of Thrones and in The Walking Dead.

Wayne (2018-2023)

Da riscrivere; aggiungere riassunti su speciali e stagioni finali

In August 2017 Holton made a deal with HBO and the creator of Gotham, Bruno Heller, and started developing the script for Wayne. The rights of Heller's show were bought from FOX by HBO in order to use former scenes shown in Gotham as flashbacks and to create the "HBO's Gothamverse" that would later also include Pennyworth, a TV show where Holton is co-creator and executive producer only. Creator of the Dark Knight trilogy, Christopher Nolan, and his brother Jonathan are also involved in the project. This new TV series was intended as a standalone sequel to Heller's show being set 18 years after it and focusing on the life of the Bat-Family living in Gotham City. The show takes elements from the police-procedural genre and from various Batman stories, including videogames and movies while also including an original take on the characters by Holton and Christopher Nolan, the two lead writers.

Other than being the creator, the showrunner and main writer for the show, Holton plays the part of

In October 2018 the 24-episode first season of Wayne aired on the HBO network with the pilot having 6.7 million views and receiving high critical praise with a 91% of approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 8.96/10 based on 431 reviews. This season also marked the live-action debut of the son of Ra's al Ghul and Damian Wayne's rival, Dusan al Ghul, portrayed by Aramis Knight in a minor role. In December 2018, HBO renewed the show for a 24-episode second season that premiered in October 2019.

The second season was a huge success with 8.9 million views for the pilot and 10.2 for the season finale. It received massive critical praise for the action, the narrative and the acting by critics and viewers. On Rotten Tomatoes this season holds an astonishing 100% of approval rating with an average rating of 9.95/10 based on 874 reviews. In June 2019, four months before the premiere of season two, it was again renewed for a 24-episode third season that will be aired in October 2020 and will be split into Season 3A and 3B.

The first part of the third season was met with huge critical praise with the pilot having 12.5 million views and a 96% of approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 9.38/10 based on 125 reviews. Season 3B was initially delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but it was then released on time in January 2021. Aramis Knight returns as part of the main cast after only appearing in two episodes of the first season and Morena Baccarin returns with a recurring role as her Gotham character, Dr. Leslie "Lee" Thompkins. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau also gets promoted to series regular.

Odio l'estate by Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo (2020)

During the end of 2019, it was announced that Holton was cast in Odio l'estate, an Italian movie directed by Massimo Venier and starring Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo, a famous trio of Italian comedians. He takes on the role of Salvo Baglio, the adoptive son of Aldo Baglio's character.

In the marketing campaign and in the movie's poster, Holton was billed with his birth name, Dario Veneziali, for the first and only time in his career. It was his first time in an Italian project with him only speaking in his native language.

CD Projekt brand ambassador (2019-2024)

In January 2019, Holton announced a collaboration with the polish company

CD Projekt Red and the digital distribution platform GOG.com

serving as a honorary brand ambassador.

During E3 2019 it was announced that Holton was going to have a role in their upcoming role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077, while also writing the story of part of the main plot, one of the game's endings, and several side-quests.

On June 25 2020, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, an animated TV spin-off produced by Studio Trigger and Holton Productions was announced. It premiered on Netflix September 13, 2022. It is a 10 episode series that serves as a prequel to the game and takes place about a year before the events of Cyberpunk 2077 but with an independent story written by Marcin Blacha, writer of The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, and Nathan Holton.

During November 2020, Holton's role in Cyberpunk 2077 was revealed as the male voice of the main character, V. He reprised the role in 2023 for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, an expansion pack of the main game set after the main plot. Holton serves as the main writer of the expansion's story.

Starting from October 4, 2022, CD Projekt announced a company makeover updating its strategies and working on multiple AAA games and expansions in parallel. Nathan Holton and Keanu Reeves were the main spokespersons for this announcement.

In May 2024, Holton made the announcement of his acquisition of CD Projekt, thereby establishing it as a subsidiary of Holton Interactive Group and concluding his tenure as the brand ambassador.

Personal life

Holton chose his stage name due to the difficulty Americans had in pronouncing his birth name and now always refers to himself by that name. The only time he used his birth name was during the filming and marketing of the Italian movie I Hate Summer released in 2020.

Holton has a rare type of

cardiac arrhythmia called inappropriate sinus tachycardia. He once suffered a slight syncope during the Teen Wolf panel at San Diego Comic-Con

for season six.

Holton has developed a father-son relationship with Robert Downey Jr. and is good friends with Jake Gyllenhaal and Benedict Cumberbatch. Dylan Sprayberry, Aramis Knight, and Sawyer Sharbino are counted among his closest friends.

In October 2014, he moved to the

Piedmont, Italy

.

In March 2015, Holton successfully obtained peaceful emancipation from his parents, granting him legal adulthood under USA law at the age of 15. He subsequently dropped out of school duties in September of the same year to fully focus on his acting career.

Also in 2015, Holton started two YouTube channels. His main channel is called “Nathan Holton” where he posts various types of videos including regular vlogs, life updates and behind-the-scenes footage of his projects in both Italian and English. His second channel is called “GamePad Community” where he posts videos about video games such as reviews, news, walkthroughs and gameplays mainly in Italian. He also has a Twitch account.

In 2017, Holton began dating Saxon Sharbino who is also a cast member of Fear the Walking Dead and Wayne. In July 2021, Holton and Sharbino announced their engagement and were married on September 30, 2021. The wedding took place at the Webb Institute’s Stevenson Taylor Hall in Glen Cove, New York on Holton’s 22nd birthday.

In 2018, Holton became a

In March 2020, during the

cardiac disease

, Holton announced on social media that he would take a break. In April 2020, he returned to social media after testing negative for the virus and traveling back to the US.

Casting choices

Over the years, Holton has helped many child actors achieve fame by individually casting and scouting them instead of holding auditions. This led to the creation of the Twitter hashtag #holtonforcastingdirector in 2018. These children often refer to themselves as Holton’s Teen Titans and view him as a brotherly figure because he assists them with every role.
