\nTom Holland\u00a0knew Robert Downey Jr. was returning to Marvel as Doctor Doom long before the studio announced it to the public. Holland is infamous among Marvel fans for letting spoilers slip early (the\u00a0YouTube compilation\u00a0titled \u201cTom Holland Spoiling Marvel Movies for 13 Minutes Straight\u201d has 21 million views), but he managed to keep Downey\u2019s news a secret save for telling one person immediately. Zendaya, Holland\u2019s wife and longtime \u201cSpider-Man\u201d wife, told Cinemania that she found out \u201cright away\u201d once Downey told Holland.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI think I hung up the phone and said [to Zendaya], \u2018Downey is coming back,’\u201d Holland admitted. \u201c[Robert and I] just have casual catch-ups every now and then. He called and told me. It\u2019s really exciting. I don\u2019t know a lot about those movies by design. I have a reputation for spoiling certain things and I think the studio is keeping me from the juicy details\u2026 when I do get to grace that set, I am so curious what does that mean for Peter [Parker] and how does that work. It\u2019s really cool. I am really excited about whatever it is they are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHolland\u00a0revealed on the\u00a0\u201cRich Roll\u201d podcast\u00a0in 2024 that he was one of the select few people Downey told about coming back to Marvel, adding: \u201cI\u2019ve been speaking to [Robert] a lot, especially about him making his [Marvel] return, which is super exciting. That was a tough secret to sit on because I have a reputation for ruining things and I strategically have done no press.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tZendaya and Holland have been making the international press rounds in support of \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day,\u201d which opens in theaters July 31. The couple is also appearing in Christoper Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey,\u201d opening July 17. Holland confirmed earlier this month the two got married this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOur business can present very stressful situations and it\u2019s really nice to have a bedrock of a relationship that will stand the test of time,\u201d Holland told \u00a0Esquire about their relationship. \u201cWe can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it\u2019s like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just don\u2019t understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else. So, for me, I found my person. She\u2019s my best friend, and I\u2019m the happiest I ever have been when I\u2019m with her, but I also have never felt so supported and safe, ever. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n
