The recent revelation from the British actor indicates that he had to go through 8 auditions before securing the role of Spider-Man, according to the Daily Mail. “I went through 8 auditions, but the worst part was that after each audition, they would tell me, ‘We’ll let you know the result tomorrow,’” Tom recounted. “And in the final audition, I was asked to stay in the city of Atlanta because if I got the role, I would have to start filming just two days later. I stayed in Atlanta for two weeks and then left because I thought I didn’t make it.”

However, things took a surprising turn after Tom returned to London. It wasn’t until 6 weeks later that he found out he had been chosen, and just 2 days after that, he was on a plane to the set of Captain America. After weeks of waiting, one day, Tom was sitting on his bed scrolling through Instagram when he suԀԀenly saw the post, “Visit our website to find out who the new Spider-Man is.” “I went there, and the result was my nаme. I was like going hyper. I ran downstairs to tell my family. My older brother, Harry, at the time said, ‘No way, Sony Pictures’ account got hacked. Someone’s just messing around now,’” Tom recalled the “best” moment to Interview Magazine.Later on, Tom Holland received a real phone call. “Film producer Kevin Feige called me, saying he had good news that I would be Spider-Man,” Tom recounted. “Oh, I already knew, Kevin. I saw it on Instagram. I was 19 at the time. Did you think I wouldn’t see that announcement?” The future Spider-Man cheekily responded.Alongside Tom Holland, Spider-Man: Homecoming also features young actors such as Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Tyne Daly, Marisa Tomei, and “Iron Man billionaire” Robert Downey Jr.
