Tom Holland might’ve swung through battles, multiverse mayhem, and alien showdowns, but nothing hit him harder than one quiet, emotional goodbye. While Spider-Man: No Way Home was packed with villains and twists galore, it was a bittersweet moment of the action track that Holland remembered most.
“This one scene, [we didn’t know] if this would be the last time [we were all working together]. [It] was heartbreaking but also really exciting because we’re all moving into the next chapter of our careers,” Holland said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

That one scene? It involved Zendaya and Jacob Batalon — the iconic trio of the MCU’s Spidey story. They’d stuck together through three solo films, press tours, and Marvel madness. But No Way Home felt different. Not just bigger. Not just bolder. It felt like the end of an era.
Even with the multiverse cracking open and three Spider-Men sharing the screen, Tom Holland couldn’t shake the weight of that final goodbye. It was more than just a scene. It was a wrap on a chapter that changed his life. He admitted to EW, “We’ve been making these films for five years now. We’ve had such an amazing relationship, the three of us. We’ve been with each other every step of the way.”

The trio’s on-screen chemistry wasn’t just movie magic. Off-screen, they’d become real friends. And that made the farewell hit harder. “I don’t think I’ve cried like that ever,” Holland confessed in the same interview. “Sharing that moment with them was maybe the best day I’ve ever had on set.”

It wasn’t all tears, though. Holland still brought his signature optimism to the moment. The heartbreak, he said, came hand-in-hand with excitement — because it marked the beginning of something new for each of them. Before No Way Home, Holland had already grown into his Spidey suit. From Captain America: Civil War to Far From Home, he leveled up with every appearance. And by the time No Way Home rolled around, he and director Jon Watts weren’t just more confident — they were having the most fun they’d ever had.
Still, that didn’t soften the emotional blow of filming that particular scene. It wasn’t the action, the cameos, or fan service that stuck with him. It was a personal moment. The real connection. Looking back, Spider-Man: No Way Home was more than a superhero spectacle. It was a goodbye letter that ended in tears, hugs, and maybe a few what-ifs.

And with rumors of future MCU tie-ins and a possible team-up with Tom Hardy’s Venom, it might not be the final swing for Tom Holland’s Spider-Man. But that scene? It closed a powerful chapter. One thing’s for sure — even web-slingers get emotional.
