Tom Holland on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

The Hang, in Short

Jacob Batalon's dog Vulpix picks the absolute worst time to demand attention, launching herself at him the second he hops on Zoom with Amy. They bond over heating pads and creaky 30-year-old knees before getting into the good stuff about Tom Holland. Jacob and Tom met doing Spider-Man screen tests back in 2016 when they were barely old enough to drink, and director Jon Watts made sure their friendship became real. Now Jacob's out here advocating against Tom doing his own stunts (Amy agrees, it's genuinely too dangerous) and pitching a Spider-Man movie where Peter just does his taxes, eats ice cream with Ned, and ices his knees. Honestly? We'd watch it. The whole conversation radiates that easy warmth of two people who've genuinely grown up together on set.
