We're back, baby.
- [crew member] Let's do this. - Spider-Man 3.
I've been doing this now for nearly seven years, which is wild.
- What the... - [horn honks]
It feels like I've come such a long way from having two scenes in Captain America
to now leading this film, which has been amazing and a huge privilege.
[Holland] The audition process,
it still blows my mind, how crazy that whole thing was.
Oh, okay, then.
I look back on it, and it was definitely the most stressful time of my life,
because I didn't know whether my life was about to change,
and I wanted to be able to play this character
that I'd grown up loving and admiring.
[Pascal] I don't think it was ever a question about who was gonna be it.
From the first second, he was funny, self-deprecating, innocent,
and he had a terrible haircut from some other movie he was doing.
What are you doing?
Tom inhabited the character
in a way that I don't think any of us had ever seen before.
The passion and the level of depth which he brings to this character
and the commitment that he has to it has only increased
over the years that we've been making these movies.
And his enthusiasm and sense of protecting Peter
and exploring different parts of Peter has been unbelievable.
That's what we do.
Right, all right. Who's ready to make a movie? Roll cameras.
[Buongiorno] Watching Tom through this journey, from the first movie and to now,
has been so rewarding.
[Watts] The first movie is about Spider-Man
really wanting to prove himself to Tony Stark and working so hard to do that
that he ends up screwing up and making things a million times worse.
Like, that's just exactly how I felt on the first movie.
Torn and I both felt the same.
Like, where are we? What's going on? This is a crazy opportunity.
Let's not screw it up.
[Peter] This is insane. Look at this thing. Look.
[Watts] We both grew up together. I don't feel like it was a parental role.
I felt like we were all the kids.
[Holland] What's interesting in the previous films
is that he really has been the Spider-Boy...
- What about me? - What about you?
What if Mr. Stark needs me or something, or I don't know, something big goes down?
...and this film is about him becoming Spider-Man.
It's about him growing up, making his own decisions
and stepping up to the plate as a full-blown Avenger.
And it's been really nice to kind of have that dovetail
between myself from Spider-Man: Homecoming
and now, who I am and who Peter Parker is in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
My name is Peter Parker, and I...
would like a coffee, please.
[Buongiorno] Tom is the most impressive actor I've seen work.
He can be, one day,
the most emotional person you've ever seen...
You're okay.
It's just me and you.
...and on the next day, he's the most happy-go-lucky guy.
[all singing] ♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪
[all cheering, clapping]
[Buongiorno] He's up there on wires, doing all of his own stunts.
So, his range is incredible.
[Maguire] Right away, the first scene we shot together,
I was just blown away by how good he was in the scene
and how generous he was and vulnerable.
Tom Holland has all the pressure on him. [laughs]
We get to just, like, help him and support him as big brothers,
and he's carrying it.
He really sets the tone for the day we're gonna have ahead but also the movie.
He comes on every morning in great spirits and he leads the charge.
For someone at his age
to have such a commanding presence on a set is truly incredible.
[Cumberbatch] He's constantly reinventing things, coming up with new ideas.
Brilliant physical pratfalls and stunts as well, you know,
he's very gymnastic and athletic, but he's really switched on.
There's a kind of poetry about the way he moves.
There's a language to it, which is very rather beautiful.
[grunts]
[both grunting]
[laughs]
[grunting]
[Buongiorno] He's incredibly professional and he's always giving 150%.
He won't stop until the shot looks great or until the emotion of the scene works.
He keeps pushing and pushing and pushing.
[Cottle] He will literally go until there is nothing left in his body.
- You okay? - Let me try again
and see if I can get it better.
[Cottle] When we did the shield fight,
the last couple of takes when he was fighting Willem,
when they called "cut," he would just drop to the floor.
He was spent.
There was nothing left.
And the next day, he would come to work and he would be ready to go.
Ready, and action!
[both grunting]
[grunting continues]
[Holland] Let's go from the spin.
[Cottle] It just is so incredible to see his passion.
That alone is what sets the tone for the leadership of this movie.
[Buongiorno] I think Tom's gonna make a great director one day.
So, I'm just excited to see what Torn does next.
[Holland] I just wanna say a massive thank you.
I know we're not done, we're only halfway through,
but everyone has been amazing so far.
We've been safe and been responsible and made this happen.
So thank you for leading by example and making this happen.
It's amazing.
[Holland] With the villains that are in the film,
having the other Spider-Mans there to support me
while also finishing off their story lines,
it warranted the biggest solo superhero movie that's ever been made,
and to be at the front of that was such a privilege.
It's also quite daunting. It's quite scary.
The way that this story has been told,
this accumulation of nearly 20 years worth of cinema coming together for one film.
Whether or not this is the end of my Spider-Man journey,
if Spider-Man swings off into the sunset now,
I'd be happy and content with what I've done,
but the weight of me saying goodbye to him really comes across in the film.
[crew member] Tom Holland, thank you, sir. I appreciate it.
My pleasure. Thank you.
