For many Marvel fans, Tom Holland is one of the best Spider-Man ever to grace the silver screen. The actor has, so far, appeared in a total of six movies as the friendly neighborhood Spidey but the actor never thought of reaching this far as he apparently assumed that he will be fired from Captain America: Civil War and would never be featured in a Marvel movie. Scroll down to know why Tom Holland said it.

In a different interview, the Uncharted star earlier revealed that he went ballistic after he finding out that he was playing the role of the new Spider-Man as it took Marvel weeks to make the news official.
