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!

Love or hate Garfield but to me, he got Spidey's humor locked down.

I just don't know what's so unfaithful about Garfield's portrayal. But each to his/her own.

Andrew Garfield wasn't the problem with the last two Spider-Man movies,it was the director & the script.

I'm slowly getting slightly excited about having Spidey in the MCU. Such a young Peter in the context of that rich universe has the chance to truly be a fresh start, and this time there's somewhat of a point to it.

I believe in this kid. Marvel's near uncanny when it comes to casting. Civil War's my most anticipated for next year

He seems like a cool dude.

I'm bummed about Garfield. Sure, the writing wasn't up to par but he was pretty perfect casting. But hey, I look forward to a younger Spider-Man.

They might be able to really capture his tone and personality this way.

Whatever our opinion, if he says he's taken inspiration from the previous spider-men then there's nothing we can really do.

Very well spoken young man. He's got one phenomenal future in all of the MCU. Like the dude can literally play Spider-Man for 15-20 years.

Sony can still bring Garfield and Tobey back in a multiple dimensions Spider-Man flick. You could throw in Madame Web and everything. lol There IS hope, but I doubt Sony would do it. It would make major bank though.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't it say in one of Sony's hacked e-mails that Andrew Garfield was being eyed for another role in the MCU?

I don't know why but i find it annoying when an actor's rep starts looking irritated or starts rushing sh*t.

@WakandasSoul Just because a character isn't established in a prior film doesn't deem them unnecessary...Gotta get over this if that was the case we wouldn't have any new characters appear.
