During a recent interview with the Associated Press at the red carpet premiere of Across the Spider-Verse, Tom Holland, the talented actor behind Marvel Studios' Spider-Man, left fans buzzing with his candid revelation.

Holland confidently stated, "I think the first Spider-Verse" as his favorite. His enthusiasm for the film was palpable as he expressed his pride in everyone involved and eagerly anticipated its forthcoming sequel:

"I think the first 'Spider-Verse' movie is the best 'Spider-Man' movie that's ever been made. I am so proud of everyone involved. Amy Pascal is like my mum. I was supposed to go with her as her date. I couldn't go, because I'm here, working. But, I'm incredibly proud of them. I'm excited for the second one. I'm sure it will live up to every expectation and I can't wait to see it."

While this marked the first time Tom Holland publicly disclosed his favorite Spider-Man movie, he had previously shared his appreciation for notable moments within the franchise.

One standout scene for him was the epic final battle between Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man and the formidable Green Goblin. Holland praised the inclusion of the tattered suit, which added a touch of realism to the character's injuries, and admired the attention to detail.

"Tobey Maguire's movies, I love the final battle between him and the Goblin. I think something that I really wish we had done with our movies in kind of the tattered suit stuff. You know how he always has the rips in his costumes and the rips on the mask? I really like that because it brought a kind of realism to the injuries that Spider-Man can get."

Another aspect that caught Tom Holland's attention was the skateboarding sequence in Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man films. Although it deviated from the traditional portrayal of Peter Parker, Holland found it refreshing, fun, and intriguing. He commended the filmmakers for exploring this unique aspect of Peter Parker's life and bringing a fresh perspective to the beloved character.

"In Andrew's movies, I love the skateboarding sequence actually. I know that's kind of far from what Peter Parker is, and it was kind of a bit of a step away, but I really enjoyed that sequence. I thought it was really fun. I thought the way they brought that aspect of Peter Parker's life was really interesting and really fun."

The fact that Into the Spider-Verse holds a special place in Tom Holland's heart is no surprise. The animated masterpiece has garnered widespread acclaim and captured the imagination of audiences worldwide.

The burning question now arises: Can Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse live up to the high standards set by its predecessor in Holland's eyes?

While Holland artfully avoided picking favorites among his co-stars in No Way Home, it is evident that he recognizes the greatness of each portrayal by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. His respect for their contributions showcases the camaraderie and appreciation shared among the actors who have brought Spider-Man to life.

Regarding the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Tom Holland has previously expressed his admiration for WandaVision, calling it one of his favorite projects from Marvel Studios. His fascination with the series reflects his genuine enthusiasm for the expansive Marvel universe and its diverse storytelling.

As for the future of the MCU's Spider-Man, Tom Holland revealed that discussions about upcoming projects had taken place, but were temporarily put on hold due to a writer's strike. This news leaves fans eagerly anticipating Holland's next appearance as the beloved web-slinger, curious to see how his journey will unfold.

In the meantime, Across the Spider-Verse continues to captivate audiences around the globe, providing a thrilling continuation of the Spider-Man saga in an animated format. With its visually stunning animation and compelling storyline, the film promises to be a must-see for Spider-Man enthusiasts and fans of exceptional filmmaking.
