Tom Hollandhas become a bit infamous in the realm of Marvel Cinematic Universe actors for his, uh, propensity for letting spoilers slip. He doesn’t mean to, clearly, and part of what makes Holland so endearing as Peter Parker is that he’s genuinely a massive fan of these movies and just so happy to be there. But that excitement at times has spilled over, and he’s accidentally leaked a couple of spoilers earlier than Marvel intended. Hilariously, it appears that Holland’s spoiler-prone nature has consequences for his friends as well.
It’s no secret now that among many other secrets inAvengers: Endgame, Tony Stark meets his maker. It’s an emotional sendoff and Holland’s Peter Parker plays a key role in those final moments, which carry over into this summer’s sequelSpider-Man: Far from Home.
Now, while aspects of theFar from Homestory build directly off of the events fromEndgame, theSpider-Mansequel was shot well beforeEndgamewas released. Meaning that the aspects ofFar from Homerelating to specificEndgamespoilers were kept on a need-to-know basis. Obviously that includes Holland,Jon Favreau,Samuel L. Jackson, and directorJon Watts, but it apparently did not extend to the ensemble cast. That didn’t matter, however, when you had Tom Holland around.
Far from Homeco-starsZendayaandJacob Batalonhumorously revealed to MTV News that Holland spoiledEndgame“a long time ago,” unprompted. “He just said it on a whim too,” said Batalon. “It wasn’t like, ‘Oh dude, sit down we have something to talk about.’” Apparently Holland just threw out this massive information, leaving Zendaya and Batalon stunned and “heartbroken.”
You can watch their reaction in the video interview below, where you’ll see it’s all in good fun. Like I’m sure it was alittleannoying to have that massive story point spoiled, but it doesn’t sound like Zendaya or Batalon are ending any friendships over it. Which is important to keep in mind. Much is made about Holland spoiling Marvel movies, but the guy is sincere in his enthusiasm for these films. Let’s not give him too hard of a time. Think about how hard it would be foryouto keep some of these secrets.
