Tom Holland Talks SPIDER-MAN Inspiration And CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Injury
Tom Holland hasn't had the opportunity to say much about his role as the MCU's Spider-Man so far, but he spills the beans here on everything from how the previous movies are inspiring him to sustaining a nasty sounding injury while shooting Captain America: Civil War...
When HeyUGuys caught up with Tom Holland earlier today, they were quick to ask him about his role as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War and beyond, and he revealed that Thor star Chris Hemsworth called him shortly after he was cast to offer some very interesting advice. However, when the interviewer pointed out that actor was sporting some nasty looking marks on his face, Holland went on to reveal that those were sustained during an accident on the set of Captain America: Civil War. "No, no violence. It was my own mistake. I basically fell over and bashed my face in front of about two hundred crew members, so not my most heroic moment! It was luckily just before my last shot; they were like, ‘Roll cameras!’, I was getting into position, everything went wrong, and they still did the take anyway. It looks great and they’ll probably just CGI out all the blood, and yeah, I was very lucky." Well, that's better than being punched by Iron Man, right?
Holland also went on to reveal that he'll be taking inspiration from the previous Spider-Men (Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield), but that he hopes to deliver something "new and exciting" with his take on Peter. For more from the actor, be sure to watch the video above for his comments in full!
