While we’d be hard-pressed to name our favorite actor or actress within the MCU, we’re fairly certain that Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland would easily make the cut. Aside from his charming and down-to-earth personality, the relatively young celeb has become notorious for accidentally spilling the beans on Marvel movies well before their official release, and the end results are – if we’re being completely honest – downright hilarious.
Last year, Holland goofed hard and spoiled the ending of Avengers: Infinity War to the crowd at a packed screening. Then, things got better with Endgame; while a parody article nearly convinced him that he had uploaded the entire movie to Twitter, he (against all odds) managed to refrain from divulging any specific plot details up until the official release, a feat which surprised Holland himself.
Unfortunately, he ruined the streak a few weeks ago by spoiling parts of Far From Home, but honestly, this just adds to the actor’s charm. He’s like the Andy Dwyer of the MCU family, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
In fact, it seems Tom channeled the Parks and Recreation character on more than one occasion. During a press interview with CinemaBlend, he revealed that when he was watching Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace in theaters, he peed his pants a little bit, all in an effort to ensure he wouldn’t miss a single moment of George Lucas’ oft-maligned film. To be fair, he was only four years old at the time, but to add insult to injury, he was sitting on his grandfather’s lap.
We’re not sure if his family will forgive him anytime soon, but if we ever run into Holland ourselves, we won’t rag on him too hard. If anything, we’ll probably keep quiet and let him talk, in the hopes that he’ll spoil another upcoming film.
