Tom Holland's Inebriated Tears May Have Helped Save His Role As Spider-Man

in case you love having Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, then you may wish to pour one out for actor Tom Holland.


Previously this fall, there was a kerfuffle involving Spider-Man leaving the MCU for good, which understandably furious poor Tom, who's very much enjoyed his role Spidey. Once he would have been able to remain Spider-Man in other movies, he wouldn't have been able to portray Spidey in Marvel films, due to a disagreement that was eventually resolved.


Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel about the scenario, Tom revealed just how distressing things were for him immediately after he noticed out the news throughout D23.


"We were at D23 and the news came out and I was certainly devastated," Holland told Kimmel. "It was awful. I asked if I may get Bob Iger’s email because I just wanted to mention, ‘Thank you, this has been an incredible five years of my life. Thank you for changing my life in the perfect way and I hope that we can work with each other in the future.’ I got his email and I sent him the email and he responded very rapidly saying he’d wish to jump on the phone and asked Whenever I was free."


Getting a telephone call from Bob Iger is the equivalent of Rihanna ringing you about Fenty Aesthetics, so basically Tom had to shoot his shot.


So Tom waited for Bob's call. It came, alright...Right while Tom was drinking and spending time with his family.


"So two, three days go by and then my family member and I went to the tavern quiz in our local town. We’re doing a quiz and I’m three pints in, haven’t eaten much, and I get a call from a unknown number and I have a feeling. I’m like, ‘I think this is Bob Iger, although I’m drunk,'" he mentioned. He answered the phone anyway.


"I was really emotional because I felt like it was all coming to an end," Tom mentioned of their conversation, throughout which he openly sobbed while still buzzing from the drinks he had earlier. Whenever he didn't divulge exactly what was mentioned, it definitely seems as though it did the trick, even if it was just a nudge in the correct direction.


Deals were made. Promises were kept. And Spidey did not have to leave the MCU, just although, anyway. The rest, as they mention, is history.
