Tom Holland Reveals Which Spider-Man Film He’s a Big Fan Of


Many MCU fans are well aware that before Tom Holland rose to fame of being MCU’s Peter Parker, the 26-year-old actor is a big fanboy of Spider-Man, which makes his role all the more important than it already is. With Spider-Man: No Way Home officially bringing together the 3 Spider-Men we grew up watching, Holland reveals which Spider-Man film he’s watched the most.

Recently speaking for Spider-Man No Way Home: The Official Movie Special interview (via Marvel), Holland tells the story of how his Peter Parker version came to be and which Spider-Man influenced him the most in his franchise. Check out his full quote below:

“I mean, I could talk for hours about [their influence], but I remember seeing both of their films when I was younger and just being so mesmerized by the idea of being Spider-Man,” Holland said, “For me, it was taking that childhood dream and putting it into my version. Kind of remembering how it felt as a kid to watch them do it, remember how excited I was, and to put that into my Peter Parker.”

“I have seen [Andrew Garfield’s] first Spider-Man more than any film I’ve seen in the Cinema. I must’ve seen that film like five times…” Holland continued on to say, “For me, it was the quirky ad-libbing that he did, which is so fun.”

In terms of Maguire’s influence and guidance, Holland reveals the Sam Raimi Spider-Man actor has spoken to Holland on his experience: “It was interesting in rehearsal. [Tobey Maguire] would talk about something that he had clearly thought about while making his movies and [Andrew Garfield] would talk about something that was clearly something that he thought about that [I had never] thought about.”

Tom Holland has reportedly signed a new deal with Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures now that Spider-Man 4 is confirmed to be active in development. While it’s going to take a long while before the reunion of the three Spider-Men, which is speculated to be in Avengers: Secret Wars, there is no doubt that these three will once again grace our screens sometime in 2026.
