Tom Holland Premiere Of 20th Century Fox's "Spies In Disguise" - Arrivals

Tom Hollandโ€™s Spider-Man got close to leaving the Marvel Cinematic Universe over the summer when word got out that Disney and Sony were failing to come to terms on a new agreement to share the character.

Holland proved to be an instrumental figure in bringing the two studios together to find common ground. During the actorโ€™s December 4 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

โ€œWe were at D23 and the news came out and I was obviously devastated,โ€ Holland remembered.

โ€œIt was awful. I asked if I could get Bob Igerโ€™s email because I just wanted to say, โ€˜Thank you, this has been an amazing five years of my life. Thank you for changing my life in the best way and I hope that we can work together in the future.โ€™ I got his email and I sent him the email and he responded very quickly saying heโ€™d want to jump on the phone and asked when I was free.โ€

Holland continued, โ€œSo, two, three days go by and then my family and I went to the pub quiz in our local town. Weโ€™re doing a quiz and Iโ€™m three pints in, havenโ€™t eaten much, and I get a phone call from an unknown number and I have a feeling. Iโ€™m like, โ€˜I think this is Bob Iger but Iโ€™m drunk.'โ€

A drunken Holland picked up the phone and โ€œweptโ€ to Iger over the possibility of his Spider-Man character being removed from the MCU because of the studiosโ€™ disagreement.

โ€œI was really emotional because I felt like it was all coming to an end,โ€ Holland said.
