They’ve been hacked.’ And then the studio called me and gave me the news. I was telling my family, ‘I got the part! I got the part!’ And obviously, that was right about the time when Sony had got hacked, so my brother, Harry, who’s quite tech savvy, was like, ‘No. It said, ‘We would like to introduce our new Spider-Man, Tom Holland.’ I broke my computer, because I flipped it up in the air. “I type in ‘Marvel.’ I’ve still got the article saved on my computer. Holland continues: “I got my computer, and my dog was sitting next to me,” he says.

I must’ve done six auditions, and they don’t tell you anything.”Įventually, he got called to do a screen test in Atlanta opposite Iron Man. Its been confirmed Ned will be in the movie, likely providing support of some kind to. In the MCU, Ned is Peter Parker’s best friend and high school classmate. “There’s three stages of life changing,” Holland says.
