Tom Holland

I want to work with Bayona again. I keep emailing my agent about it. Even the smallest role, I'll do it.

I don't want to be stuck to one character. I think that's what can happen when you take on a superhero movie.

I loved doing ballet. I trained for two years.

I don't like spiders, man, just because they are sneaky - they just really scare me. They are hairy - ugh.

I'm studying theater and media. I don't really know why I took media, because I'm so useless with technology, though it's fun. But, I do love theater and am having a great time learning about all the practitioners and getting to perform with my friends.

I go to The Brit School, which is where Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Jessie J went.

A lot about this industry is about who you know. If you set a really good example for yourself, and someone likes that, then they might recommend you to someone else. It doesn't matter what job you're in, any profession, it's always the same.

I went to an ordinary primary school, and then I started performing in a show called 'Billy Elliot' on the West End, and that was sort of my drama school.

There is so much to sailing a ship. There's about a thousand different lines on a brig ship, and knowing what each one of those does, it takes a long time, and that's why you have these cabin boys that start on the ship, and they learn throughout the years, and that's why it takes so long to captain one.

Colombia is so different to what I know, and every aspect of the country is different to England, and I loved it. I loved the culture and the food, and the coffee was amazing. The place that we were was stunning, and it really was quite an amazing experience to film out there.

As an actor, I love a challenge.

I get recognized more for my 'Lip Sync Battle' than I do for being Spider-Man.

I haven't seen 'The Empire Strikes Back' - I'm not gonna lie.

For some reason, I skipped the original 'Star Wars.' I don't know why, and I'm very embarrassed.

I think these movies are definitely comedies. It's quite difficult to take a superhero movie seriously because everything is heightened. A kid being bitten by a radioactive spider and getting superpowers is kind of ridiculous.

My big thing was when you see a superhero movie where their powers ain't consistent - like, they lift a truck but then struggle to fight just a regular human being - it makes it harder to believe.

I was in my bed scrolling through Instagram. It had been about a month since my audition. And Marvel just posted a photo saying go to our website and find out who the next Spider-Man is. I went on the Marvel website on my computer, and there it was: The new Spider-Man is Tom Holland. I went ballistic - like, absolutely nuts.

There are so many things we have not seen in 'Spider-Man' yet... I want to use bad guys never seen in movies. The first films were so traditional and so scrupulously followed the character's classic plot... So there's a lot of stuff left in stock. 'The Clone Saga,' for example.

It's definitely a good way to stay in touch with your fans. The main reason I really use Instagram is because I want to hear their thoughts and what would they like to happen and see if I can make that happen. Which is a really nice way of being in touch with them all around the world.

I try and let the film do the talking.

Zendaya is the one. At serving looks, she is the one to go to for tips.

I personally think if something's not a challenge, there's no point doing it, because you're not gonna learn much.

I remember actually going to see the first 'Avengers' with one of my best mates from home. I'd never have dreamed that I'd be in one of these movies, let alone playing Spider-Man.

I can't even touch my toes!

It was amazing for me to play a character opposite Benedict Cumberbatch - he's someone who I've looked up to for years - and the idea that I would work with him and then become friends with him was an amazing experience.

I've played a lot of wide-eyed kids.

I've got a huge family back in Ireland, and I've made loads of movies in Ireland.

I feel like I've been playing Spider-Man my whole life. He's a character I've been pretending to be in my bedroom since I was a kid - so I've been preparing for this forever, I think.

I've made 'The Pilgrimage' - where I actually had to speak Gaelic - and I was shooting in Belfast as well.

I feel like if you put something out into the universe, then you increase your chances of it happening.

It's very easy to relate to a kid who is having trouble in high school... less so to relate to a billionaire whose Lamborghini broke down.

I have been given such a wonderful opportunity, and I want to share that with people. If I can share that with kids in hospital, then that seems like the right thing to do.

I am definitely the same person I was when I finished 'The Impossible.' That's one of the things I really strive to keep.

That's what I love about working for Marvel is how welcoming and kind everyone is.

I've always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.

'Civil War' was such a whirlwind, and I didn't really know what was going on. I was thrown into the deep end.

'Avengers' was crazy because you're on set every day with actors I never dreamed I would work with. I'm as much a fan as anyone else.

Spider-Man is loved by a huge range of people. I think the real target audience is people younger than 16. It's because he's going through what they're going through.

I started dancing because of Janet Jackson.

I love the process of making a movie so much as an actor that I can only imagine I would love the process of being the director.

I like to consider myself a tech fan. That doesn't mean I'm a tech whiz, by any means.

I'm a London boy, born and bred, and I'll be there for as long as I can.

'Infinity War' needs no teasing. That movie literally needs no teasing. It's going to be the biggest movie of all time. Believe me; no one is ready for this movie.

I'd love to make a movie with Tom Hardy. If we ever got the chance to make a Venom movie together, that would be super-cool, but his movie would have to take place in the MCU because I'm not giving up my ticket in the MCU.

I think, for me, I've realized the responsibility of being a role model for young kids everywhere.

I think directing is something I would really enjoy.

The 20-year goal is to be a film director. The 15-year goal is to win an Oscar. The five-year goal is to just keep enjoying myself.

I actually have videos on my phone of me interviewing people and asking them what they thought of the new Spider-Man in 'Civil War.' They were like, 'Oh he's great. I love him,' and then some people were like, 'Nah, I don't love him. he's not great' - and I was standing right in front of them!

'Fan' is an understatement. I had the Spider-Man costume, I had bed sheets, toys, you name it. I've always had an argument with my best friend that Spider-Man was way better than Batman. I was a massive fan growing up.

Peter Parker is probably the most relatable superhero, maybe ever, because he goes through something that basically everyone has to go through. Whether it's puberty or talking to girls or doing homework, he does it in such a human way.
