Tom Holland says he has been checking fan reactions online while production continues on Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and he has also been promoting a new Lego commercial.
Holland on listening to fans
In a recent interview, Tom Holland said he has been paying attention to what fans want from the next Spider-Man film. The interview was published by LadBible.
Holland is quoted directly: “I have been actively sifting through the internet and trying to best understand what it is that the fans want from a Spider-Man movie.”
He added: “I think the producers, at times were like, absolutely sick of me, but I think it’s really important, because we make these movies for [the fans].”
Lego campaign and ADHD
Separately, Holland is appearing in an extended Lego spot. The campaign shows him in several different costumes and scenes, and he discussed how the message connected with him personally.
Holland said the idea of play resonated because he has been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. Moreover, research cited by Lego partners highlights how play and creative building can affect adults’ thinking and flexibility; for more on that, see this Arizona news item.
Online fan culture and production rumors
Reports and posts about Spider-Man: Brand New Day have circulated on social platforms. For example, a Reddit thread collects and discusses rumored villains for the film; some contributors have later revised or walked back their earlier claims. See one such thread here.
In addition, advocacy and research groups have noted links between ADHD and increased internet use. For instance, CHADD reports that people with ADHD may experience time-blindness and greater risk of problematic internet behaviors, according to their summaries of relevant studies.
Career context and recent projects
Holland remains linked to major film projects while Spider-Man production continues. He starred in the MCU’s Spider-Man films, and after No Way Home he appeared in other projects including Uncharted and Cherry. He has also worked in television; for a review of one of his TV roles, see Collider’s coverage of The Crowded Room.
Media outlets also continue to cover aspects of his public life. For example, E! has published photo coverage related to Zendaya and Tom Holland: see that gallery.
