Among the plethora of MCU stars, Tom Holland has always been known to be among the nicest of the bunch, the eager young buck who tries hard to make a good impression on his peers, much like his on-screen role as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. But the actor is learning to use his star power to put his foot down on some occasions. In a recent interview with Esquire, Holland revealed that he had to be quite firm about using his hair from his upcoming movieUnchartedfor his other big-budget upcoming film,Spider-Man 3.
“My hair inUnchartedis much cooler. I have cool shaved sides and it’s slick at the back, and that’s not very Peter Parker. He’s a bit of a loser. So they put this wig on me that was just around the sides [for Spider-Man 3]… For the first time in my life, I put my foot down as the leading actor and was like, ‘I’m not fucking wearing that wig. you may just . . . I’m going to have shorter hair and you’re going to have to deal with it.’ "
InUncharted, an adaptation of the best-selling video-game series,Tom Hollandplays the role of treasure-hunterNathan Drake. The character is inspired by Indiana Jones and carries a lot of that Indy swagger over into his own adventures. It seems Peter Parker fromSpider-Man 3will also benefit from some of that “cool” factor, at least as far as the hair is concerned.
Speaking of thelatest adventure of the webbed wall-crawler, Holland cannot dish out much in the way of details regarding the upcoming movie. According to the actor, who has gained a notorious reputation as a serial spoiler of news with regards to the MCU, the powers-that-be at Marvel Studios are so wary of him that he is quite certain they have kept large parts of the plot ofSpider-Man 3a secret from him.
“I honestly have no idea what this film is about and I’m eight weeks into shooting it… They do it all the time. In [Endgame], Robert Downey Jr.’s funeral scene, for the longest time I was under the impression that it was a wedding. I’m 100 percent sure that they’re still tricking me.”
Considering the plethora of rumors surrounding what will or won’t be included inSpider-Man 3, it seems Marvel understands that the slightest slip from Holland could spoil the film before they have the opportunity to blow the audiences' minds in theaters.
