Throwback – When Tom Holland Said He Was Convinced Marvel Fired Him After Captain America: Civil War Appearance

As an ardent admirer of Tom Holland’s illustrious career, I can’t help but be captivated by his heartwarming journey to stardom as Spider-Man. His tale is a testament to resilience and the power of perseverance, filled with moments that make one root for him even more.


Tom Holland left a lasting impact on Marvel enthusiasts through his portrayal of Spider-Man. However, prior to this, he harbored doubts as he believed Marvel might have let him go from the part, since after wrapping up Captain America: Civil War, there was no response from them.

In a 2021 interview with Variety, Tom Holland admitted that from the time they filmed Civil War to Spider-Man: Homecoming, he was certain he would be let go. He mentioned that he wasn’t sure why he felt this way, as Captain America: Civil War had not yet been released and he hadn’t received any word from anyone. Essentially, he was operating on a hunch during the production of Spider-Man: Homecoming.

In simpler terms, “The Cherry star confessed that he found it difficult to put his emotions into words.” Later on, “Holland added, ‘It was terrible, yet not what you’d expect. It’s been wild, buddy. I’ve enjoyed every second of it.’

Additionally, he elaborated on his joy about being cast in a Marvel film. The actor conveyed, “The experience itself was already so remarkable that not getting the role would have still left me with a sense of accomplishment for making it that far.

As a die-hard fan, I can’t help but reminisce about the nail-biting moments when I was on tenterhooks, eagerly anticipating their response. During those tense times, I’d escape reality by hitting the golf course with my old man, feeling a bit down and adrift. But there was always one constant that brought a spark of hope – checking my Instagram, where Marvel had shared an image of the animated Spidey. In that instant, I felt my dreams slipping away, convinced that my shot at the role had gone up in smoke since no word had come my way.

However, everything took a turn when Marvel and Sony revealed Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man. Overjoyed, the actor from The Devil All the Time inadvertently smashed his computer by tossing it into the air, which led it to fall off the bed. This ruckus even startled his dog.

Following the hack of Sony, Harry initially questioned the authenticity of the subsequent announcement. According to Holland, Harry expressed doubt because he believed he would have been personally contacted about it if the news were true.

However, following this incident, Holland got a call from the studio and learned some extraordinary news that would significantly alter his life. Reflecting on it, he said, “It was quite surreal how things unfolded.

After that point, he expanded his worldwide audience by appearing in numerous Marvel productions such as Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Avengers: Endgame, and several others.

Beyond just these projects, he’s continued to captivate viewers through various endeavors such as Uncharted, The Impossible, Chaos Walking, Cherry, The Devil All The Time, Spies In Disguise, and The Current War.
