The English actor (as a hologram) tells the new cinematic chapter: «Spider-Man? A humble superhero “
To be there or not to be there is the problem. Interview a hologram. It happened with Tom Holland, the actor who plays Spider-Man. Power of super heroes. Tom is in Los Angeles, on the other side of the world. But he interacts and talks with us about the new chapter, «Spider-Man: No Way Home» by Jon Watts (in theaters from 15 for Warner, Sony produced it). It is as if he was standing next to us in flesh and blood: “I’m shorter than I look, I’m trying to understand this technology too,” says the English actor.
The real thrill would be to try to touch it, crossing the air, and realizing “with your hand” that you have nothing in front of your eyes. But when the connection ends and it disappears, you are stunned. The theme of the film (actually revealed in the final credits of the previous chapter) is Super-Man’s violated identity: it turns out he’s Peter Parker: «I’m sure the fans will react well. The real challenge is to do something new. I was often able to act without a mask on. There is also the distorted use of social media. I felt like him, my life was turned upside down when I was chosen, there are pros and cons, but I’m happy ».
Tom’s hologram, next to Alessandro Cattelan as a moderator, he is inside a circle of fire, edged with gold: it is the most extraordinary disguise. Where was it to happen if not in the realm of dreams, in the promised land of cinema, at Cinecittà, Teatro 10, a few meters after Fellini’s? At 25, even if he is no longer of pimple age, he still works when he takes off his mask and returns to a “normal” boy, slender body, face soap and water, he felt the difficulty of finishing his homework or asking to go out to a lass .
It is his third adventure as a masked man, which began in 2015, while in total there are 8 films in 21 years. «It is not a popcorn film, there is a dramatic screenplay and I feel the responsibility, as a hero that could be anyone, to set an example to many young people who do not have to shut themselves up but get out of their shells. The aspect I like most is his humility ». The loser who gets cool is “a symbol for all my peers.” The “guy like many” is the spokesperson for a cast of all stars including Zendaya and Benedict Cumberbatch. The villain Mysterio had already revealed the identity of Spider-Man. The world is unaware that Mysterio is a villain and our hero who killed him is pilloried, even by those who support him. So he turns to Doctor Strange, the supreme sorcerer who manipulates time and space, to make things go back to the way they used to be. “He’s not a mentor but a friend Spider-Man turns to. Only that the spell goes wrong », Pandora’s box opens that will bring back in a sort of revival all the old villains of the saga, Goblin (Willem Dafoe), Doctor Octopus (Alfred Molina), Electro (Jamie Foxx).
Nimble and fast, but slow as a boomerang boy who needed the pennies of his aunt, Peter Parker puts his super powers at the service of humanity, and since “it is” a comic, he can afford, unlike 007, the miracle of remaining in a green age in the turn over of actors. Tom has replaced Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield: the three have a group chat on WhatsApp. Spider-Man, who came out of the comic book imagination in 1962, has turned 59 and on skyscrapers, harnessed and suspended in the void, jumps higher than the Gianmarco Tamberi medalist, while keeping his feet on the ground in his routine as a good boy.
Holland danced hip hop as a child and disguised himself as Spider-Man: “He was my favorite hero.” Tom crossed success at age 12 in the musical «Billy Elliot» (Elton John, author of the music called his performance surprising): after all, like Spider-Man, even that character, the little dancer, has a hidden talent.
