Tom Holland was so nervous for a "Spider-Man: No Way Home" rehearsal that he drank four cups of coffee beforehand.

Holland and the crew of the upcoming third "Spider-Man" movie spoke to Empire magazine for a feature written by Chris Hewitt that appears in the December 2021 issue.

The actor shared vague, spoiler-free anecdotes about filming "No Way Home" and teased a scene that was so noteworthy that costars Zendaya (MJ) and Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds) attended the rehearsal on their day off.

According to Hewitt, the rehearsal made Holland "so nervous he'd mainline four cups of coffee. And when he got there, he discovered Zendaya and Jacob Batalon (Ned) had come along on their day off."

"They were like, 'Bro, do you really think we're going to miss this rehearsal?'" Holland recalled.

"No Way Home" hits theaters on December 17 and has been described as "Spider-Man: Endgame" by director Jon Watts.

The first trailer was released in August, showing Alfred Molina back as Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 2" villain Doc Ock. The return of Green Goblin was also teased.

For months, rumors have circulated about other past Spidey villains showing up in the movie. Fans have also speculated that "No Way Home" will feature past Spidey portrayers Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Holland and Garfield have repeatedly denied reports.

Holland himself has teased major moments to come in "No Way Home," though he's careful to avoid revealing specifics.

Speaking to Empire, the actor said that he filmed "one of the coolest scenes I've ever shot" involving Peter Parker, Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), and a mystery character that he couldn't disclose.

"It's four people sitting at a table, having a conversation about what it's like to be a superhero, and it was amazing," Holland said. "The other day we watched the scene, my brother and I, and our jaws were on the floor."

Back in January, the "Cherry" star posted a photo of himself in the Spidey costume on set with his brother, Harry Holland, on his shoulders and wrote: "Today was easily one of the highlights of my career. For those of you that were there, you know what I'm talking about and for those of you that weren't, you better buckle up!!!"

After the first trailer's release, Holland shared a video on his Instagram story and said that the footage was "just the tip of the iceberg."

"You have no idea what else is to come," he teased.

The actor also told Entertainment Weekly that he cried after filming a scene with Zendaya and Batalon during one of his last days on the set of "No Way Home."
