Why Tom Holland’s MCU Spider-Man Audition Was So Special
The fight choreographer for Captain America: Civil War recently explained why Tom Holland’s audition to be the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man is regarded by many at Marvel Studios as a special one. Holland debuted as the MCU’s Spider-Man/Peter Parker in Captain America: Civil War before appearing in his first solo film, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Holland went on to star in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame alongside the rest of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes before appearing in two more solo films, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Holland’s most recent appearance as Spider-Man in the MCU during No Way Home was met with extremely positive reactions. No Way Home continued the trend of recent Marvel properties introducing and engaging with the Multiverse. Thanks to Doctor Strange’s (Benedict Cumberbatch) role in the film, Holland had the opportunity to team up with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Both Maguire and Garfield have taken on the Spider-Man/Peter Parker role before, so seeing the three different versions of the character come together was historic.
