Tom Holland Reveals His Drunk Call To Disney CEO Requesting To Keep Spider-Man In Marvel

Actor Tom Holland has revealed drunken and emotional call with Disney CEO Bob Iger that may have saved “Spider-Man”.

Spider-Man’s Marvel Cinematic Universe journey came under threat earlier this year when rights-owner Sony was seemingly unable to reach an agreement with Marvel to allow the superhero to continue appearing in Marvel films. The two companies eventually worked out their dispute, and it may have been due in part to franchise star Holland, reports variety.com.

On an episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live”, Holland opened up about a not-completely-sober call between him and Iger.

According to Holland, when he found out that Sony might not let Spider-Man remain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he asked if he could send Iger an email.

“I just wanted to say thank you, I wanted to say, ‘This has been an amazing five years of my life, thank you for changing my life in the best way, and I hope that we can work together in the future’,” he explained.

“I got his email, I sent him the email, and then he responded very quickly saying, ‘I’d love to jump on the phone at some point, when are you free?’ And you don’t give Bob Iger a schedule, you’re like, ‘Whenever, Bob’.
