For years, Tom Holland has been known as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but a recent interview reveals he is also the voice of the fans.

Tom Holland also took on a new level of creative involvement for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, focusing on the suit's design. Holland revealed in the LADbible interview that a fun part of making the new movie was helping to design the suit, focusing on the specifics, which arguably caused the most positive uproar that Marvel had seen in recent times.
