Last August, a group of fellow journalists and I visited the London set ofSpider-Man: Far From Home.
During a break in filming, we got to sit down and talk with star Tom Holland.
Check out the interview below.Spider-Man: Far From Homeopens July 2nd.
This film will be your fourth time as Spider-Man.
How does it feel to have played Spider-Man more than anyone else when this film comes out?
TOM HOLLAND: It feels pretty good.

HOLLAND: That’s a good question.
The Avengers movies feel so removed from what we were doing in Homecoming, and far from home especially.
It’s pretty crazy, but this is a bit more low-key and feels a bit …

I always describe these movies like the biggest indie movies ever made.
Because it does just feel like we’re making a high school movie that happens in Europe.
What’s Peter Parker’s head space like in this movie?

He’s very much love-driven in this film, and taking a break.
That’s kind of how I’m describing it.
HOLLAND: This film’s kind of like if Spider-Man: Homecoming and Spectre had baby.

That’s how I would describe this film.
What is the dynamic between Peter and Mysterio?
HOLLAND: It’s very much big brother, little brother.
So yeah, it’s fun, it’s been a really cool ride so far.
And that’s not trying to trick you.
How important was it to bring Jon Watts back and to collaborate with him again?
I was so happy to have Jon back.
HOLLAND: That’s kind of a Russo thing, that joke, the movie references stuff.
You put on the new black stealth costume.
What is that thing is capable of?
HOLLAND: It’s awesome.
It’s just an idea that he has to keep his identity from his friends.
But it’s awesome.
It’s really, really cool.
I can go to the bathroom, which is huge bonus.
And scare my grandparents, but they wouldn’t do it.
They wouldn’t do it.
They thought it was too mean.
What would you say is kind of Peter’s main mission in this when he’s in Spider-Man mode?
HOLLAND: At the end of the day it’s always about saving people and doing the right thing.
But that all gets ruined; Nick Fury gets in the way.
What’s it like now?
HOLLAND: It’s been great.
It’s been a really, really fun film.
