"Do it" in this scenario means to play a role with a different accent than your own. Since Tom Holland is British, he had to perfect a southern American accent in order to play the part of Arvin. He says that if you can't perfect the specific accent needed for the movie role, you shouldn't play that part. Holland is emphasizing the importance of using accents to bring a character to life.
