Tom Holland isn’t just our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man; he’s also Marvel’s lovable spoiler king. Keeping insider info in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is no easy feat, especially with millions of fans decoding every word.
But when you’ve got someone as honest and agitated as Holland, leaks are inevitable. The actor joined the MCU inCaptain America: Civil War(2016), and from day one, fans are fond of him. His charm, vibrant energy, and devotion to the role made him the ideal Spider-Man.
He brought Peter Parker to life in a way that felt authentic and relatable. But while Holland nails his stunts and emotional scenes, there’s one thing he’s not so great at: staying tight-lipped.
Over the years, the Marvel star has unconsciously let slip substantial spoilers—from movie titles to core story arcs. And while Marvel Studios probably cringes every time it happens, fans can’t get enough of his innocent blunders. Let’s dive into five iconic moments when Tom Holland spilled the Marvel tea and left us both giggling and loving him even more.
5RevealingSpider-Man: Homecomingas a trilogy
Tom Holland’s first major spoiler happened in 2017, during the press tour forSpider-Man: Homecoming. While speaking to the French entertainment outletAllo Ciné, the 28-year-old was asked about Spider-Man’s future in the MCU. Without thinking too much, he said:
There’s still a lot of room for Peter Parker to grow in the next two movies.
Wait, what—two more movies? At that point, Marvel hadn’t officially announced a trilogy, so this was groundbreaking update. The interviewers were visibly astonished, and Holland quickly realized he’d let something slip. You could almost see the panic in his eyes as he tried to brush past it.
Fans, however, were ecstatic. ASpider-Mantrilogy? Yes, please! This moment was the beginning of his reputation as the MCU’s spoiler king. It wasn’t intentional—he was just genuinely excited about the role and couldn’t help sharing. But this small goof had fans pumping with anticipation for years to come.
4Disclosing Spider-Man’s space adventure inAvengers: Infinity War
Fast forward to 2018, and Tom Holland again became the talk of the town for another accidental story leak. This time, it happened during an interview onJimmy Kimmel Live!Holland was joined by some of his Marvel co-stars, includingZoe Saldaña,Paul Bettany,Pom Klementieff, andRobert Downey Jr.
Jimmy Kimmel, ever the instigator, asked the group who was the least trustworthy with Marvel secrets. Everyone immediately pointed at Holland. Trying to defend himself, the actor shared a story about how he thought his script was fake. He blurted out,“Spider-Man’s in space!”
“There was a lot of arguing and butting heads”: Tom Holland Calls His Most Controversial Project To Date “Not a very harmonious place”
Wait, what? That one sentence confirmed a huge plot detail fromAvengers: Infinity War. Up until then, fans had no idea Spider-Man would leave Earth in the movie.
The reveal was completely unplanned—Holland thought he was talking about a fake script. But the damage was done, and fans went into full speculation mode. Despite this, it’s hard to stay mad at Holland. His genuine excitement and honesty make these moments endearing rather than frustrating.
3Unveiling the title ofSpider-Man: Far From Home
In June 2018, Tom Holland took to Instagram to update fans on the next Spider-Man movie. In a short video, he apologized for not having much information to share. Then, without realizing it, he showed the iPad he was holding—which had the titleSpider-Man: Far From Homeclearly expressed on the screen.

At that time, Marvel hadn’t announced the title yet, so this was a huge reveal. Fans couldn’t decide if this was another one of Holland’s innocent mistakes or a carefully planned marketing stunt by Marvel. Either way, it worked—everyone was talking about the movie.
This wasn’t the first time Holland had caused a stir on social media, though. During the production ofAvengers: Infinity War, he live-streamed himself opening a“confidential”package fromMark Ruffalo. That package turned out to contain a poster for the movie, and Holland’s reaction was priceless.
2Hinting at Spider-Man’s fate afterAvengers: Infinity War
Tom Holland’s next spoiler moment happened during the premiere week ofAvengers: Infinity War. He, along withBenedict Cumberbatchand theRusso Brothers, surprised fans at a theater screening the movie.
Overjoyed to see the audience, Holland grabbed the microphone and said,“I’m alive!”Uh-oh. For those who hadn’t seen the movie yet, this was a premature revelation. At the end ofInfinity War, Spider-Man disintegrates in one of the most heartbreaking scenes.
His comment accidentally revealed that his character would somehow return, which fans weren’t supposed to know yet. While some might have been annoyed by the spoiler, most fans found it hilarious.
1Discussing Doctor Strange’s complex dialogue
During theInfinity Warpress tour, Tom Holland teamed up with Benedict Cumberbatch for several interviews. One question that kept popping up was who was more likely to mess up their lines.
In an interview withAccess Hollywood, Holland admitted that Cumberbatch had the tougher lines, saying:“He has to talk about so much Quantum Realm stuff,”before Cumberbatch cut him off with,“Stuff, only stuff.”
“You will not see me in movies anymore”: Tom Holland Has 1 Condition To Quit Hollywood And It May Involve Zendaya
Pause for a second and focus on“Quantum Realm.”Did you catch that? If not, here’s the thing—it’s a term primarily tied toAnt-Man, not Doctor Strange. The Sorcerer Supreme has never actually referred to the“Quantum Realm”in any of his films, and it’s never been mentioned in any of his other appearances either.
The whole“Quantum Realm”thing has pretty much been tied to Ant-Man and his flicks. It even gets a lot of play inAvengers: Endgame, where the Avengers use it for the whole Time Heist to grab the Infinity Stones. But, of course, Strange wasn’t in on that because, well, he got blipped.
It wasn’t a major spoiler, but fans totally flipped out. Could this be another Marvel spoiler in the making? You bet they were hyped!
