Tom Holland Once Was About to Reveal the Biggest Spoiler for Spider-Man: No Way Home.
while promoting Spider-Man; new day – the next installment in the hit franchise – Holland recalled the moment five years ago when he practically ruined Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s iconic cameos in the 2021 blockbuster.
“He was probably trying not to get shit on me, because I have a reputation for messing things up,” Holland, 30, said. BBC Radio 1 Ali Plumb on Thursday, July 9: “And I’m working really hard not to do that. And, you know, failure is a part of life, and obviously I failed at that moment, and it was disappointing,” she added.
The moment occurred during a 2021 interview with Plumb, when speculation about Maguire and Garlfield’s cameos was at an unofficially confirmed peak. That is, until Holland gave it away.
He and his co-stars, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, were discussing a stunt in which MJ falls off a scaffold but is ultimately saved by a masked superhero.
“What you guys did there was a pretty scary stunt. It was really funny! Well, I wasn’t there, it seemed really funny,” Holland said at the time before realizing what he had just done, something Plumb immediately realized but decided to remain silent.
To elaborate, if Holland wasn’t the one behind the mask, that probably meant he was another beloved Spider-Man.
“Or it could also have been Luke Scott, my double,” Holland suggested Thursday.
The 2021 interview clip later went viral No way home was released, becoming known as “the moment Tom Holland’s soul left his body.”
It turns out that it was Garfield’s Spider-Man who saved MJ from Zendaya, serving as an emotional parallel to the time he failed to save Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Zendaya reflected on the scene’s impact in another recent interview, saying, “I remember reading that in the script and thinking it was a very moving moment. I’m so happy that it made it into the finished film.”
