When we talk about Spider-Man, the first name that pops into our head is Tom Holland. The actor started his career with the disaster drama The Impossible in 2012. He worked in a few other movies and miniseries after that, however, his career plummeted with his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man. Tom Holland is the third in the list of actors who have played the role, and the ones prior to him are Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.
Tom Holland was last seen in the multiverse version of Spider-Man when he met all the Spider-Men of different universes, in the film Spider-Man: No Way Home. the movie was released in 2021 and was a major box office hit.
Tom Holland wants to recreate a scene from the original Spider-Man Trilogy
Tom Holland, along with Zendaya and Kevin Feige was interviewed by Cinemablend in 2021. There they talked about their movie Spider-Man: No Way Home and their experience in the film. In the movie, Spider-Man takes the help of Doctor Strange to make people forget his exposed secret identity as Peter Parker. However, Strange’s spell goes terribly wrong, which opens the portal to the multiverse and invites unwanted guests into their universe.
The film offered a nostalgia factor as it brought the former Spider-Men as well as their stark enemies back on the screen. Tom Holland shared that he was thrilled to work with the original Spider-Man and the villains. On being asked if he wished to recreate any scene from Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man, the actor was left in deep thought. Zendaya and Kevin Feige were quick to remind him, as it turns out, Holland wished to do the famous inverted kiss scene from the movie.
The original upside-down kiss scene happened between Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst, which went viral and is still considered a fan favorite. However, Holland had other plans as he pulled Jacob Batalon‘s hand instead of his girlfriend Zendaya for the kiss scene recreation. Zendaya added to the fun as she wished them luck and told them to have fun.
