Asa nicely expressed the innocence and mischievousness of a young boy, as well as the loneliness of one who doesn't have many friends. His interaction with co-star Jack Scanlon has caused countless viewers to shed tears. It was a beautiful but painful friendship.

Hugo (2012)
Hugo is the work that brought Asa Butterfiled to a whole new level. The film, helmed by Martin Scorsese, has been nominated for 11 Oscars and earned 5 prestigious gold statues. The work is a journey to the origin of cinema, the passion for cinema with beautiful takes and emotional music.

Asa begun to show his maturity as he plays Ender Wiggin in this movie, a tactical genius recruited by the International Army to lead the war against Formics. This is an alien race of insects that once tried to invade Earth and cause heavy losses to humans.
Ender in the film is not really emotional, but Asa had to show his immense inner depth. Asa also had to show Ender's strategic vision so that viewers could see he was a talented commander.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
2016 was a bad time for Asa Butterfield when he lost the role of Spider-Man to Tom Holland, but in return he had the opportunity to work with director Tim Burton in Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016).

Journey’s End (2018)
Asa Butterfield continued to surprise the audience by playing the role of Lieutenant Raleigh in the film Journey's End. In March 1918, a team of troops was sent to the northern front of France, led by Captain Stanhope, who was tired of the long war. When a German attack was about to happen, all the people in the group felt extremely scared and worried.
Particularly, young officer Raleigh, who had just finished his training, was extremely frustrated at having to serve under Stanhope because he had many bad conflicts with this man in the past. Each one trapped by fear and anger. Memories of peacetime kept coming back and the German soldiers' attack was getting closer and closer.
