Tom Holland Talks Spider-Man Inspiration and Injury on CIVIL WAR Set
Tom Holland hasn’t really had the opportunity to talk about playing Spider-Man since he was cast in the role because he went right off to work on Captain America: Civil War. It seems like he’s been busy with that ever since the news was announced.
Hey U Guys had a chance to talk to the actor recently, and he spoke about being inspired by the previous actors who played Spider-Man and the comic books, and an injury that he sustained on the set of Civil War.
When asked if Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and the Spider-Man comics inspired his performance he said:
“I think it’s impossible not to. They were so great and gave such real and rich performances. There’s obviously factors that I love, and will try to continue and recreate. But I think the most important thing at the moment is making a film, which is obviously of the same character, but make a different, new and exciting movie.”
He’s then asked about a cut on his nose, and if there was violence on the set to the film. He went on to share an experience of how he bashed his face his face on the set. He said:
"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."
You can watch the rest of the interview in which he tells about some advice that he got from Chris Hemsworth right after he was cast in the role. I'm looking forward to the day when we get to see our first footage of Holland in action as Spider-Man. I think he's going to do a great job. Civil War hits theaters on May 6th, 2016.
