Tom Holland broke his computer when he found out it was Spider-Man
In a recent scene on Variety’s Actor on the David Kaluuya Actors series Tom Holland explained his first reaction after learning that he will be playing the role of Peter Parker / Spider-Man in the MCU. The actor said the testing process for the role was “awful,” as it took seven months to hear. He announced that he must do six tests, and Marvel did not tell him anything. The actor revealed that he experimented with six other children with Robert Downey Jr. which was deceptive. Holland noted that this was the “best test” he had ever conducted. He and RDJ were “tearing apart”.
Tom Holland was convinced that his reps told him that Marvel loves to learn just words – it can’t make up without it. And then, on the first catch, Robert Downey Jr. completely changed the scene. The actor said they started tearing each other up while he was listening. After his screen test, he called his mother and told her that he thinks he has got the part.

Tom Holland said that Marvel flew him and one other boy back to Atlanta, and made a scene that was “so surreal” for him. He noted that, by that point, it would have been an “amazing enough experience” if he hadn’t won the part, he would have felt like he was doing at least something that achievement to get to that level. The actor said that he went out to play golf with his father and lost that which upset him. He then went on his phone and checked on Instagram where Marvel had posted a picture of Spider-Man, of the cartoon. And by that point, he had kind of accepted that he didn’t get the job, because no one was called.
Tom Holland remembered that he had found his computer, with his dog sitting next to him. He typed in Marvel and found an article that said, ‘We’d like to introduce our new Spider-Man, Tom Holland.’ The actor said he broke his computer because he put it up in the air. He was feeling out of bed and his dog went mad. Then he ran downstairs and said to his family, ‘I got the part! I got the part! ‘and it was right about the time when Sony Pictures found out. So his brother, Harry, whom he called “very tech-savvy,” was like, ‘No. There is no way that is true. They would have called you. They were dragged. And then the studio called Holland and gave him the news. It was “so strange” it happened, he said.
