Tom Holland is so ready for Spider-Man: No Way Home [1] to be out already. Yes, because it marks the highly anticipated conclusion of a successful trilogy that also introduced him to his (rumoured) girlfriend [2], but also because he appears to be very tired of dodging questions about the same rumours, mainly the one about Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield appearing in this instalment [3] for a Peter Parker extravaganza. When pressed most recently on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Holland simply said, "Who are they?"
"I keep bumping into them!"
In a noble attempt to redirect, Holland said he actually has met Maguire and Garfield and recently bumped into them at separate parties on the same night. ("Parties" — is that what they call film sets these days?) "I keep bumping into them! I went to one party in Hollywood, I bumped into Andrew, had a lovely time. I went to another party down the street, and I bumped into Tobey," Holland said. "It was crazy! We should've filmed it, and then we could've snuck it in."
Holland shared the story in a BBC Radio 1 interview where he also spoke about being in a group chat with his fellow Spider-Men [5]. Holland said, "Over the last few years, we've kind of been getting closer just because, I think, we've all realised that we share something that only us three people share." He added, "I think I'm the only who who's ever spoken in it. Like, 'What's up other Spider-Mans? This is Baby Spider-Man here. How's it going?'"
Thankfully, all rumours will soon be laid to rest when Spider-Man: No Way Home hits theatres on 17 Dec. Then, and only then, will Holland finally get to stop lying about all these parties.
