For a long time actors have been talking about the difficulty of superhero costumes, whether it’s the fact that the costume designer often doesn’t think about their need to use the bathroom, or the dicussion that goes on for men about how large their bulge is allowed to be. Now we can add the joys of the thongs to the mix, at least for new Spider-man, Tom Holland.
The young actor is known for not having much of a filter – something that’s led him to leak so many Marvel secrets that they won’t let him know the full plot of Avengers: Infinity War, because they don’t trust him not to blab about it. Now he’s decided to let the world know what he’s got going on under his Spidey-suit.
Talking to Shortlist he says, “All I have on under that costume is a thong. They brought them in on my first day, like, ‘Here are your thongs. I had serious misgivings. ‘Would my arsehole ever be the same again?’. But I had to get used to it, even though I was thinking, ‘No way, no way!’
He continues, “You have to completely disrobe and then put a dressing gown on, but they’re very comfy ones, you can’t walk around in just a thong, can you imagine? And then you race across the lot to the toilet, then come back, get back into it. It’s such a mission.”
Sadly there aren’t any pictures of him in his thong, although someone did catch him in just his undies on the Spider-man: Homecoming set, which you can take a peek at here.
It’s probably no surprise that if you’re gonna play Spider-man, you’re gonna have to work out a lot. And Tom Holland doesn’t seem shy about showing off the results of that exercise with a 
Synopsis: ‘A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.’
The whole idea of Spider-man joining Marvel’s superhero universe has certainly been intriguing. It was a success with Captain America: Civil War, but now Sony is returning with its own Spidey movie starring Tom Holland, Homecoming. However, they deal between Disney and Marvel means they’re still bridging studios with the film, as it will feature Robert Downey Jr.’s Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Sony is hoping that love for Tom Holland’s take on Spider-man will extend past Captain America: Civil War, and that plenty of people will turn up for Spider-man: Homecoming. To help get people excited, a couple of new posters have now shown up.
It’s here – the first trailer for Spider-man: Homecoming. It has to be said it’s pretty cool, with some great action, a menacing Michael Keaton as the Vulture, and Robert Downey Jr. showing up as Tony Stark to give the young Peter Parker a bit of advice.
While many were dubious about yet another reboot of Spider-man, Tom Holland certainly made in impression in Captain America: Civil War, which ensures that there’s plenty of anticipation for Spider-man: Homecoming. We should be getting the first full trailer shortly, but as a warm-up, a brief teaser and a new pic from the movie has arrived.
As I’m sure all of you are aware, getting into your superhero costume when someone needs saving can be a bit difficult. Well, it turns out it’s not just awkward for us, it’s the same for Spider-man.
A couple of weeks ago Marvel Studios head honcho Kevin Feige suggested that the deal between Marvel and Sony didn’t just mean Spidey would appear in Captain America: Civil War, but that some of the Marvel characters could make a trip to a standalone Spider-man movie. Now we know at least one person who’ll do that – Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark.
