The Daily Star posted a video of Tom Holland following his acceptance speech at the BAFTA awards where he admits – again – that Spider-Man has been his dream role since childhood.
I’m just the lucky shit that got to do it.
Sony and Marvel has made a great casting choice because Holland had already proved to be an excellent Peter Parker.
He dropped a lot of jokes upon accepting his award and during the interviews, claiming that you’ll most likely find him sitting for the rest of the evening because of all the Spider-Man poses he had to hold.

Much to fans’ delight, he also ran into Andrew Garfield, the previous star of the Marvel franchise, on the red carpet.
