Tom Holland may have played the superhero in Spider-Man: No Way Home, but it was Zendaya who helped her shorter co-star make a tricky landing.
“Spider-Man swings us on top of a bridge and he places me there. … So he’s supposed to gently rest MJ [Zendaya] on the bridge and walk away from her,” Zendaya said.
But according to the Euphoria actor, who is taller than Tom, the two were attached together for the stunt and she would land on the ground before he did.
Tom then joked that although he plays the superhero and is “supposed to look cool,” Zendaya would land on the ground first while his feet would swing from underneath him.
“And then she would catch me,” he continued, as the two stood up to demonstrate how the landing played out during filming.
Zendaya said Tom was “lovely” about the whole thing. (See the clip below.)
