Famed as one of the greatest dancers of all
time, Astaire had a seven-decade career in film and on stage in
Broadway and the West End.
"I am playing Fred Astaire. The script came in a week ago. I
haven't read it yet. They haven't given it to me," Holland said.
"Amy Pascal has the script," he said, referring to Spider-Man
producer Pascal. "She FaceTimed me earlier. I was in the bath
and we had a lovely FaceTime."
Holland was speaking at a photocall for "Spider-Man: No Way
Home" which he attended with his co-star Zendaya in London on
Sunday. The two are dating.
The pair talked of their love for what they called the
Spider-Man family. Zendaya, who plays Mary Jane in the film,
said she was happy to have met Holland while working on the
movie.
The pair are dating in real life as well as in the latest story
on the big screen, which revolves around Spider-Man's true
identity being revealed for the first time.
"One of the most special parts of all this is the fact I got to
meet Tom Holland. So I am incredibly forever grateful to
'Spider-Man' for that. And he's obviously very talented and a
lovely person," Zendaya said.
Holland, 25, is on his third Spider-Man film and spoke of the
last six years, saying Spider-Man was such a huge part of his
life he couldn't remember a time before playing the role.
The film is already doing well in British box office pre-sales,
but Holland said the pandemic meant the pressure for the film to
succeed was different this year.
"People might not feel comfortable going to the theatre and
that's ok, if that's your prerogative I will support that," he
said.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" hits cinema screens in Britain on Dec.
15.
