The Russo Brothers Recall Sony Being Hesitant To Casting Tom Holland As Spider-Man
It is quite easy to take Spider-Man being in the MCU for granted, given just how seamlessly the character fits into the larger franchise, and how good Tom Holland is in the web-slinging titular role, but it wasn’t always like that. Less than a decade ago it was unthinkable that Sony and Marvel would set aside billion-dollar deals just to appease comicbook fans (and make even more billions), and yet Holland managed to swing audiences’ hearts away when he first appeared in “Captain America: Civil War.” In a new interview, however, the Russo Brothers recall how hesitant Sony was to casting the new Peter Parker.
