'Ms. Marvel' star Iman Vellani says Tom Holland spoiled Tobey Maguire's return in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' for her
- "Ms. Marvel" star Iman Vellani said that Tom Holland spoiled "Spider-Man: No Way Home" for her.
- When Vellani met Holland in 2021, the returns of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were under wraps.
"Ms. Marvel" star Iman Vellani said that Tom Holland spoiled Tobey Maguire's big return in "Spider-Man: No Way Home" for her.
Vellani, who makes her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut as Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel, spoke about meeting Holland in a new interview with Elite Daily.
The 19-year-old actress said that she crossed paths with Holland in Atlanta in 2021. She was filming "Ms. Marvel" and Holland was working on "No Way Home." At the time, the involvement of former "Spider-Man" actors Maguire and Andrew Garfield wasn't confirmed, though there were rampant rumors.
Vellani said that Holland, wearing his Spider-Man costume, visited her while she was in the hair and makeup trailer and asked her about the premise of "Ms. Marvel."
The new Disney+ series "Ms. Marvel," released on Wednesday, stars Vellani as a Muslim American teen living in Jersey City. She idolizes superheroes, particularly Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson), and gets her own powers.
"He was like, 'What's your show even about?' I was like, 'What's 'Spider-Man' about?'" Vellani recalled. "He fully shows me a photo of him with Tobey Maguire!"
"I get we're both in Marvel, but I didn't need to know that before it happened," she added.
Holland spilling Maguire's return will come as no surprise to fans who have followed the actor's career. The star, who made his MCU debut in the 2016 film "Captain America: Civil War," has developed a reputation for spilling some top-secret details of Marvel projects.
Holland's "Avengers: Infinity War" costars named him the "least trustworthy" cast member and Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Strange, has said that doing interviews with Holland feels like "chaperoning."
Holland previously spoiled "Infinity War" for a theater of excited fans and told costar Zendaya about Tony Stark/Iron Man's death in "Endgame" years before the film was released.
More recently, he subtly spoiled a major moment from "No Way Home" in an interview prior to the movie's release.
