Spider-Man: Far From Home star Tom Holland will be starring in the animated movie Spies in Disguise alongside Will Smith. And while his character, Walter, mainly serves as the brains of the team, turning Smith's character into a bird would get him in an unexpected action-packed journey; much like his role as the live-action Spider-Man.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Holland was asked to compare both his role as the hero and doing voice-over work for the animated movie. "It's interesting because they're equally as physical," the actor said. However, one difference he pointed out is that he "can't move" from the "mark" that he is on.

He added, if his character Walter will be falling off a building, he will also try to do some parkour much like his role as Spider-Man. However, Holland claims that while he's still doing all the moves required, he isn't actually moving.

The actor admitted that he was "excited" to be taking the job because he thought it was going to be "easy," since it's "just a voice-over." But he later learned that it's "one of the most tiring things" he has ever done. That being said, he recognizes all his hard work as something "rewarding," and admits he's "so proud of the movie."

Aside from Holland and Smith, the cast of Spies in Disguise also includes Rashida Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Reba McEntire, Rachel Brosnahan, Karen Gillan, DJ Khaled, and Masi Oka. The film will hit theaters on December 25.

As for Spider-Man 3, the movie is scheduled for release on July 16, 2021. However, details about the film are yet to be revealed.
