Director Joe Russo recently paid a visit to the University of Iowa, taking part in a surprise Q&A relating to his recent triumph, Avengers: Infinity War. In addition to confirming Valkyrie's fate and why Doctor Strange gave up the Time Stone, Russo revealed that Tom Holland improvised Peter Parker's heartbreaking death scene.
Those in attendance at the Q&A took to Reddit to share the details that Russo disclosed. The director said that he simply told Holland that Peter didn't want to die, and the young actor took it from there, delivering one of the most haunting moments in the film.
The scene is undoubtedly one of the most heartbreaking in the movie, with Spidey turning to ash while on the planet Titan with Tony Stark, Doctor Strange and some of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Thanos snapping his fingers caused half the life in the universe to vanish and, unlike many other heroes, Peter doesn't go quietly. Instead, the teenager exclaims to Tony that he's "not feeling so good" before clutching onto the distraught Avenger, desperately pleading with his mentor that he doesn't want to go.
Despite many fans already being aware that most of the deceased heroes will almost certainly return, it didn't make Peter's death any less devestating.
What do you think about Holland's improvised moment?
