'Spider-Man' Update: Tom Holland talks accident in 'Captain America: Civil War' set and his take on the role

Spider-Man joining the Avengers is something that fans have been waiting for. The franchise is set for a reboot with Tom Holland as Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Holland, who is set to make a debut in “Captain America: Civil War” has talked about his minor accident on the set of the third instalment of “Captain America” and how the previous “Spider-Man” films have influenced him.

In a recent interview with Hey U Guys, Holland was asked if the previous "Spider-Man" instalments have any influence in his portrayal as the new Spider-Man. Holland answered in the affirmative and says that, “I think it’s impossible not to.” After praising Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s performances, he added, “There’s factors that I love and will continue to recreate, but I think the most important thing is making a film which is with the same character, but making it different and a new and exciting movie.”

The extent of Spider-Man’s involvement in Civil War is still unclear and Holland cannot reveal any specifics yet. Instead, he dished about how he got involved in a little accident on set.

“It was my own mistake. I basically fell over and bashed my face in front of about two hundred crew members, so not my most heroic moment! It was luckily just before my last shot; they were like, ‘Roll cameras!’, I was getting into position, everything went wrong, and they still did the take anyway. It looks great and they’ll probably just CGI out all the blood, and yeah, I was very lucky.”

The previous Spider-Man films told an origin story about how teenager Peter Parker got his powers. In the new “Spider-Man,” Marvel will take the character to a different route. Marvel Studios’ president Kevin Feige told Crave, that the character will pick-up by the time Civil War begins, where Parker already embodies Spider-Man.

"Captain America: Civil War" opens on May 6, 2016. The new Spider-Man reboot featuring Holland is set to arrive on July 28, 2017.
