Tom Holland Swings Into Children's Hospital as Spider-Man
Tom Holland only briefly donned his Spider-Man costume as Marvel’s favorite web-slinger in Captain America: Civil War. But ahead of his proper big-screen debut as the iconic crime-fighter in next summer’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, the 20-year-old actor is already using his superhero clout for a good cause.
As seen in a series of new photos posted to Instagram, Holland spent yesterday at Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta (where Homecoming is now shooting) dressed as the wall-crawler, much to the joy of the facility’s young residents. Taking a cue from his fellow Marvel superstars Chris Pratt and Chris Evans who previously dropped by hospitals dressed as Star-Lord and Captain America, respectively, Holland spent the day cheering up the hospital’s patients, and in one of his photo posts, he wrote:
“Meeting you all today was such a wonderful experience and you’re all such little inspirations. We’re proud of you and we love and we hope to be back soon ? and thank you for having us Egleston Children’s hospital.”

As Holland wrote in a subsequent post, “Thank you to our wonderful marvel team for making today possible. I’m glad we could share it together. I loved every minute ?”
