Back in the swing of things

Echoing the director's words, Holland says: "Tony Stark is a billionaire, Thor is a god and Captain America is a biologically-altered super soldier. Peter Parker, though, is just a kid."

He explains that, as most of us have high school experiences, such as talking to their crushes for the first time and being late doing homework, the Spider-Man films are "basically about grounding this fantastic character in the fantastic MCU and making him as real as possible".

Recently turning 23 years old, Holland also reveals that the best part of growing up with his character is that he has been able to travel around the world, especially mentioning his visit to the Great Wall during his 2017 tour to China.
