“I was given this piece of advice as a kid that was really helpful, which is: If you think about the actual physical feeling of being nervous, it’s the same physical feeling as being excited,” Holland says. Nonetheless, he figured out a way to infuse his nerves into his performance. While most kids his age were still sitting exams and asking around for a prom date, he found himself in a full-time job, only his coworkers were Robert Downey Jr., Michael Keaton, and Jake Gyllenhaal. Unlike his predecessors, Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, Holland’s Parker was still a child, burdened with a responsibility that he finds overwhelming. “He had a vulnerability and a wit, and an immense likability that felt to me like Peter Parker from the comics,” Russo recalls. In 2015, Holland beat thousands of other young actors for the role of Spider-Man in a multi-film deal between Sony (which owns the rights) and Marvel. So I will do whatever I can do to make that not the case.” “I don’t like the idea of people not liking me. “One of my biggest faults is that I’m an impossible people pleaser,” Holland says.

What’s more, No Way Home will finally collide Marvel’s increasingly byzantine cinematic universe with Sony’s own equally convoluted Spider-Verse (currently comprising Tom Hardy’s Venom movies, plus the forthcoming Morbius and Kraven the Hunter), thereby planting the seed from which years of sequels and limited series and sundry other subscription-generating content will surely bloom. “Tom is stepping into the role that Robert Downey once occupied for Marvel, which is the favorite character, and in a lot of ways the soul of the Marvel universe,” says Joe Russo, who, alongside his brother Anthony, has directed Holland in four movies, including Avengers: Endgame. For several movies, Marvel has been establishing Holland as the new center of Marvel’s world. The stakes for No Way Home are even higher. “But for me it is, ‘Can I do it without the Lycra?’ ” “This is that moment of, like, ‘Can Tom Holland stand up on his own and be a leading man?’ I know that makes me sound like a dick for saying that,” says Holland.
