An Oral History of Tom Holland's Spider-Man w/ Tom Holland, Zendaya & Jacob Batalon

Christmas arrives a week early this year for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and, in particular, its friendly neighborhood web-slinger, as 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' hits theaters on December 17, 2021. The third solo joint for Tom Holland's Peter Parker finds Spidey looking to conceal his outed secret identity by any means necessary, and when Doctor Strange's (Benedict Cumberbatch) efforts to do so go terribly awry, Peter faces off against classic villains from far-flung universes. To celebrate the release of the new film, stars Holland, Zendaya (MJ), and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) sit down to talk about the journey of their characters, from the first time Holland learned he would be Marvel's new Spider-Man to his first appearance in 'Captain America: Civil War' and his first time trying on the suit (we won't spoil what he compared it to; it's... private). Zendaya and Batalon also discuss what it's like to be a part of the franchise, traveling the world with friends and running from explosions, and what some of their favorite moments throughout the series have been.

A lot of people say that "your Spiderman" is the one that you first saw growing up. That would mean mine was Tobey Maguire. I think he was certainly the most grounded in his performance of the big 3, Andrew Garfield I think was more Spiderman in his build and is a great actor, but at the end of the day Tom Holland IS Spiderman to me. The energy he brings to his projects is palpable. Absolutely love him and his chemistry with Zendaya and Jacob only makes the movies better.

[@mamamememoo]

Agreed. Tom IS Spider-Man… just like how Hugh Jackman is Wolverine, RDJ is Iron man, Superman is Christopher Reeve. Some people make the roles their own through a special kind of charisma.

[@wajiharahman6387]

this!

[@squash_gurl7874]

Completely agree with this

[@2693742]

Totally agree. For me Tobey's Spiderman was the OG and I was very sceptical of Tom, I hadn't liked Andrew much as Spiderman either even though he's a phenomenal actor. But I was pleasantly surprised by Tom Holland as Spiderman.

[@kimberlywatkinson9052]

I would love to see Tom's Spiderman grown up.I feel like I have grown up beside him and it would be awesome to see him go through college or work.

grew up with tobey, fell in love with andrew, thought tom was the best spiderman, but after this movie i realised that i have always loved all versions of peter parker. and because of into the spiderverse, it's safe to say spiderman is just the best portrayal of teen superhero there is. like stan lee said, because of the costume, you can imagine anyone behind that suit and i resonate to that a lot

The more interviews I see, the more I am certain that this movie is going to be able to tell a well-balanced story centred around Tom's Peter Parker. Looking forward to your aggregation of reviews, Rotten Tomatoes.

[@NganthoiKH]

When Homecoming first came out,I didn't understand why the internet was bursting about this Zendaya person when she was even barely in the movie.

[@Lola_t]

The story about Tom not knowing he was spider-man until the public announcement makes you realise that studios negotiate with actors agents and sign off on a deal before locking them into the role officially. How many men saw the kind of money they potentially were going to make but had it taken away from them once they all found out (most likely the way Tom did)

[@g_is_supercool]

I need someone to ask them how do they remain so humble??? Esp Zendaya and Tom getting more roles in movies and shows (pls Netflix or Hollywood cast Jacob too.. He's just as a great actor as them) the bigger they get...the more humble they actually are?!❤️ Do u know how rare that is in this day and age??? Even bloody Tiktokers are more arrogant than they are🤣 Love this trio! Love Tomdaya! Superexcited for the new movie!!!!

No way home was so good, I’m still not over how good it was. I wanna see it a third time ❤️

[@SparaticSpartan]

This is my favorite Spider-Man trilogy and idc what anyone says. I’ve loved all of these movies and Tom Holland’s iteration of Spider-Man way more than I ever did with Tobey or Andrew’s. I don’t know why and I can never put my finger on what it is but these movies just feel so much more fun and relatable to me personally. They embody the aspects of Spider-Man that I love most. Words can’t describe how excited I am to see No Way Home!

[@Sthuthukile]
