- [shutters clicking] - Ah!
It's amazing for me to be here with you two today,
'cause I remember going to the cinema to see your first film,
and the second and third one.
I remember I watched your first film. I was in Wales, shooting a film.
Perfect place to watch it.
And I watched your film,
and I remember saying in an interview years ago,
I was like, "My dream role would be to play Spider-Man."
And to be here today with you two is, like, mind-blowing.
I just... I can't quite believe that today is finally here.
So I just can't wait to get to work.
It's such a perfect full-circle story.
Um, I'm just honored to be a part of it, really.
When they called, initially, I was like, "Finally."
[both laugh]
I just feel grateful.
I got the call and I was really open immediately
about coming to do this.
Not without nerves and like, "Well, what's that look like?"
And, you know, uh, "What would that experience be?"
But to get to show up with beautiful, talented, creative people
and play together...
It's just, like, a yes.
It does feel just like a very fortunate turn of events
to get a call like that.
The nerd in me, the fanboy in me, on so many levels said yes.
I think one of the things that's exciting
that we're exploring in this film
- is finding each other within ourselves... - Yeah.
...and how, weirdly, us finding each other in this other dimension,
- we heal things in each other... - [Holland] Sure.
...we challenge things in each other,
or we represent parts of ourselves that maybe we've lost.
And like, that sharing-a-brain thing
- is kind of a fun thing to play with. - Yeah.
It's interesting, in the rehearsal today,
like, you would talk about something
that was something that you clearly thought about
while making your movies.
You would talk about something that you thought about
but something I had never thought about.
I was like, "That's interesting to think about the character in that way."
So it's been an amazing process so far.
Me and Jamie have remained in touch.
He forces me to MC sometimes at parties
and, like, freestyle rap.
[chuckles]
And it always goes really well.
- Freeze... - Really well.
I think we should see some of that.
Just to get a chance to hang outwith him again
and work with him again is really cool.
But, you know, of course, like, my favorite villains are
Alfred Molina and Willem Dafoe's versions
of Ock and Goblin, so it's like...
Just to be in their presence is kinda cool.
First day in, urn, going up to the set,
just saying hi to folks and then,
out walks Alfred Molina, out walks Marisa Tomei, Willem Dafoe,
Torn, uh, and then Jamie.
I was just like a kid in a candy store,
uh, feeling all energized and perked up and ready to play.
It's like an actor's dream.
The beauty of making these films is that we're so lucky
we get to work with people like yourselves.
So, for me, just means I get to learn from more people.
I think the best way to learn is to watch,
and, uh, and for me to watch them, the way they work is amazing,
and it's a bit of a master class for me, so I couldn't be luckier.
I'm so excited that I get to watch how you work,
and even watching the little scene
you were doing the other day with Willem,
it was like, "Oh, that's how... Oh, that's interesting." It was cool.
It's a mutual kind of mentorship-menteeship.
You don't know who's the mentor and the mentee at different points.
It's like a lovely mutual kind of learning.
Which... I don't know. I just love working with actors.
So, yeah, it is a dream in that regard.
From a choreography standpoint, it's interesting
because Spider-Man's never fought with Spider-Man before.
And I think what we want to explore
is an element of us trying to figure each other out,
and figure out our each individual unique styles
of how to be Spider-Man.
- He is chomping at the bit. - [sighs] Oh, my God.
- Look at this guy. - I just can't...
And It's been killing me because of the whole secrecy thing,
'cause I wanna go around and go, "We get to go on wires!"
I'm open for anything.
- I'm ready to go. - [laughing]
And that's about it, to be honest with you.
[laughing]
We just had a little dance in the suits.
- Yeah. Little cuddle. - We had a cuddle.
Cleared the cobwebs off a little bit for me. I will speak for myself.
There's nothing like doing a photo shoot with two lads in Lycra.
[heroic music playing]
The suit can definitely be, like, a challenge at times,
when you gotta get in the full thing, um,
but then, getting comfortable in it, there is something fun.
It just helps as an actor, when you get in your costume,
you begin to, like, feel it more and embody it more.
I'm still processing.
It's all happening still. I'm catching up.
Yeah. This only just happened.
But objectively, you got pretty free pretty quick...
- Oh, yeah. [Laughs] - ...in that suit.
- That's true, yeah. - You started to feel pretty at home...
- Yeah, I did. - ...pretty swiftly.
- Started dancing pretty quickly. - I did.
It was wonderful.
I have no explanation for it. It just did it.
- [Garfield] instinctual. - Yeah.
- It releases something. - It just did it.
- [laughing] - Yeah. [Laughs]
We were talking about, like,
the idea of how cool it is to wear the Spider-Man suit.
But in reality, it takes three people and five shoehorns
- and a lot of talcum powder and oil... - [chuckling]
- ...and, like, 45 minutes. - Are you still using talcum powder?
- I'm still on, like, the talc. - The secret is...
Go on. I'll tell you afterwards.
- I'll tell you later. I figured it out. - We'll catch up.
Oh, my God. Why are you holding out on me?
It's so good.
- It's very inelegant, let's say. - [Holland] Mmm.
And so, like, by the time you're in it, you've forgotten all of your excitement,
and you're just wearing Lycra.
And then you see Tobey, and then you see Tom,
and then it's like, "Oh, yeah. No, this is fantastic."
Where are you using your talcum powder?
- I'm not really using talcum powder. - Oh, okay.
'Cause that's how I started off...
- You were actually talcing it up? - ...was talcum powder, yeah.
- Did you never do that? - On Civil War, I was full talcum powder.
- Did you? - I did, yeah.
After a while. At first, I didn't, with the und...
[laughs] "First, I didn't."
- [laughs] Wham! - First I...
[laughing]
- Then I started to do that. - Yeah.
- That's correct. - [laughing]
No, the way to get your boots on
is we have these plastic bags that I put over my feet.
- Ah, slippery. - And then they slide right in.
- Slide in. - But the only thing is is you get
mad sweaty feet.
[Garfield] Mmm. Tell us more about that.
It's not nice when you take your shoes off at the end of the day,
- but that's the way I've been doing it. - Thank you.
- I've only figured it out on this movie... - Wow.
...but it's changed the game.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Yeah.
