NEW KID ON THE BLOCK

How did you find out you’d landed the role of Spider-Man? I was at home, scrolling through Instagram and Marvel had posted a photo of Spider-Man saying, “Go to our website and check out who the new Spider-Man is.” So, I freaked out, ran to my computer, went to the website and I was just lucky enough that it said my name. I went completely crazy — it was an amazing day.

Was Spider-Man your all-time favourite childhood superhero? Yeah, dude — he was the one for me, I loved him! I relate to him massively – he’s clever, he doesn’t take himself too seriously and he can shoot webs! It’s very hard to believe that a kid gets bitten by a spider and all of a sudden he can shoot webs, and if you try and make that too serious it just doesn’t make any sense.
