Tom Holland Predicted His Role as Spider-Man in an Interview Six Years Ago
I have the most adorable video for you today that took place back in 2013 on the red carpet of the Empire Awards. Seventeen year old Tom Holland was there talking about his film How I Live Now, when the guy interviewing him asked if he would like to play a superhero in the future. He responded saying, “Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What superhero would I want to play? Maybe Spider-Man in like ten years time.”
How about three years, baby Tom Holland? Because it was three years later that he debuted the character in Captain America: Civil War, and just one year after that that he starred in Spider-Man: Homecoming. It’s just short enough of an amount of time that he probably hadn’t talked to the studio about the role yet, so the only logical answer is that Holland is psychic. Or he read that book The Secret and made it happen. Either way, that’s so fun to look back at.
Check out the interview below and see Spider-Man: Far From Home in theaters next week on July 2nd.
