One of the things thats great about talking withTom Hollandis he is always a fantastic interview.
Check out what Holland had to say below.
COLLIDER: How are you doing?
I haven’t seen you sincewe filmed that thing with the Dogs in London.
That was a fun day.
TOM HOLLAND: Oh yeah.

That was a good day.
What TV series would you love to guest star on?
HOLLAND: What TV series we would love to guest star on?

We were joking about this the other day.
I’d love to be inEuphoria, but with Jacob Batalon.
What movie do you think you’ve seen the most?

And I’d say probably one of my favorite films.
Have you been watchingWandaVisionand what do you think?
HOLLAND: I am obsessed withWandaVision.

It’s so difficult because obviously I’m on a Marvel set at the moment.
What’s going on?"
What’s going to happen?

Where are they going to take this?".
I love that they brought back the idea of releasing an episode a week.
So I’m loving it.
I can’t wait to see where it goes.
Did you make your brother Harry audition to be inSpider-Man: No Way Home?
When was the last time you were told that you needed to nail something in one take?
HOLLAND: Oh, that’s an interesting question.
You mean like we don’t have a second chance to get this?
HOLLAND: Oh, I see.
Like a oner, right.
There’s a lot of stuff you have to do inCherrythat you’ve never done before.
This might be too much for me" or where you sort of like I’m game?"
I’m the punch in of person that loves a challenge.
I love rising to a challenge.
So I had a strong foundation of friends there to kind of pick me up should they need to.
She was amazing to work with and she was equally as talented as she was kind.
So I’m talking about her like she’s dead, she’s not dead.
So yeah, I was very, very lucky to have that.
You guys had fantastic chemistry together and I could spend like 10 minutes just talking about that.
Can you sort of talk about filming out of ordering and trying to deliver this performance?
HOLLAND: Yeah, I mean, that just required a lot of preparation.
And then one big one.
So we did the dope life portion of the film first.
Then we did him falling in love with Emily.
So we were always kind of in the same section.
So it was fine.
It was complicated, but you know, a challenge that was easily overcome.
You got to break the fourth wall in this movie, which is something that actors are trained against.
The camera is your enemy.
You know, you don’t want to, you’ve got the option to’t acknowledge it.
Now all of a sudden the camera is as much a character in the scene as I am.
And obviously the camera represents the audience.
So I’m really glad we persevered and stuck with it.
The Russo’s did some really cool camera choices and filmmaking choices in Cherry.
Its a very cool shot.
Talk a little bit about filming that one particular scene.
That wasn’t as cool to film as it is in the film.
I think the inspiration from that came from, is itChildren of Men?
Is that the film?
HOLLAND: There’s a very similar shot in that.
Basically what they had is they have this old car, they ripped the roof out.
So, I was pulling a handbrake and putting the handbrake back down again.
So it was a tough day.
What did you learn makingCherrythat you hope to apply to future stuff?
And it’s poisonous.
It’s so bad for you, especially as someone that does what we do for a living.
WithCherry, the whole idea of the film was to make myself as ugly as possible at times.
So I think that’s the biggest thing that I’ve walked away with.
I think that’s something that I commend Brad Pitt on.
One of the things I think is really hard for actors is to portray being high on screen.
And in this movie, you have to portray Oxycontin, heroin, ecstasy.
Are you looking at video of people that are high and trying to mimic that?
How are you trying to be authentic in the moment?
I mean, I don’t do drugs at all.
I watched videos of people tweaking and watched videos of people coming down.
I spoke to people about their experiences of them coming down.
I just did as much research as I could.
This is what it would feel like immediately.
I love to have things to do.
So it was things like that where he was so instrumental in bringing authenticity to telling the story.
You and Jack Reynor were great together.
I hope you spent a lot of time talking aboutSing Street.
(laughing) I love Jack, he’s a good guy.
What was your reaction when you read the newSpider-Manscript for the first time?
It’s easily the most ambitious standalone superhero film I’ve ever been a part of.
It’s incredibly exciting.
It’s funny, it’s emotional.
It’s everything that you’d want in a superhero film.
I’m loving it.
We’re having a great time.
And we’re really, really making something very special.
Do you know how many more films that you’re under contract with Sony and Spider-Man?
Have you re-upped your contract recently?
HOLLAND: No, this would be my last one.
I’ve loved every minute of being a part of this amazing world.
It’s changed my life for the better.
I’m so lucky to be here.
If they want me back, I’ll be there.
If they don’t, I will walk off into the sunset, a very, very happy person.
It’s been an amazing journey.
There’s no way they’re not asking you back.
You were instrumental in making that happen.
HOLLAND: The way I understand it is that agreement between the two studios has already happened.
I don’t remember when that happened.
I dont remember when.
HOLLAND:Far From Homehad come out.
Then the whole thing happened between Sony and Marvel.
That said, I’m just the actor.
I think they found a way in which it can be beneficial for both studios.
I’m just kind of like the kid in the middle of it between two parents having an argument.
Thanks so much for today.
HOLLAND: I really appreciate it.
Steve, I’ll See you soon.
