In 2006 Hollywood, Xu Can, a talented but blacklisted Chinese actor, flees persecution in Beijing to chase his dreams in Los Angeles. Living in a cramped Chinatown apartment, his luck turns when director Marc Webb defies industry norms to cast him as the lead in the rebooted 'Spider-Man' franchise, rejecting A-list stars for Xu's unique aura. Despite his agent's warnings that comic book adaptations are box office poison and pressure to join 'The Fast and the Furious' instead, Xu confidently accepts the iconic role.

On his first day at Sony Pictures, he meets a young Emma Stone, and their instant chemistry during script readings convinces the director that this risky casting choice was genius. With martial arts skills and natural acting prowess, Xu is poised to shatter ceilings and redefine superhero cinema. Yet, his journey is just beginning; from dominating the global box office to capturing the hearts of pop icons like Taylor Swift in gravity-defying romances, Xu Can is ready to turn the entertainment world upside down.
