Tom Holland invited Bridger Walker, the six-year-old boy who saved his sister from a dog attack, to the set of "Spider-Man 3."
Bridger's aunt, Nicole Walker, shared the video of the young hero talking to Holland over FaceTime on Instagram.
"I've heard about your story, and I just want to say, you are so brave, mate, and we are all proud of you," Holland told the six-year-old.
"Your little sister is so lucky to have someone like you. I mean, you're just such a brave little kid. It's not easy what you did, mate, you should be proud of yourself."
Holland asked Bridger who his favourite Avenger was, but the starstruck fan was too shy to answer — his family confirmed it was indeed Spider-Man, whose outfit Bridger was wearing in the video.
"We're going to be shooting 'Spider-Man 3,' and if you ever want to come to the set and hang out and see the 'Spider-Man' suit up close and hang out with us, you're always welcome," Holland offered. "You'll always be my guest."
Bridger was too starstruck to answer, but his grateful family thanked Holland for his kind invitation.
Nicole Walker told the story of Bridger's heroic act on July 9th on her Instagram, writing: "My nephew is a hero who saved his little sister from an attacking dog. He, himself, took on the attack so that the dog wouldn't get his sister." Bridger needed 90 stitches.
Holland's fellow Avengers star Chris Evans sent a video message to Bridger on Thursday, promising him that he was going to send him an authentic Captain America shield.
Evans told Bridger: "Pal, you're a hero, what you did was so brave, so selfless — your sister is so lucky to have you as a big brother. Your parents must be so proud of you."
Other Avengers stars including Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye), and Brie Larson (Captain Marvel) all also reached out to Bridger. Ruffalo wrote: "Real courage is knowing what is right to do and doing it even when it might end up hurting you somehow. You are more of man than many, many I have seen or known. With Admiration... Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/Hulk/Professor)."
