Robert Downey Jr. Saved Tom Holland’s First Spider-Man Scene From Being Cut Down, Questioned the Russo Bros: ‘Where Did All of the Kid’s Lines Go?’
Tom Holland's first scene as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe got significantly chopped down until Robert Downey Jr. spoke up.
Tom Holland appeared on the “Rich Roll Podcast” and remembered how Robert Downey Jr. stepped up on his behalf during his first time filming as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Captain America: Civil War” directors Joe and Anthony Russo tried to explain to Downey that their script was already massive and they couldn’t spend time on the full scene that Holland auditioned with. Holland also revealed that he “polished off the mini bar” the night before his first screen test with Downey and “Marvel found out about that.” The actor has since given up alcohol and is now sober.
