Tom Holland hilariously revealed in a new Esquire interview that “it definitely does” get musty in his Spider-Man suit during production, so “I probably get a new suit every two weeks, I reckon.” The 29-year-old actor is currently in production on “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” his fourth standalone movie as the iconic web-slinger and his seventh overall Marvel movie.

“I have such a good understanding of who Peter Parker is, and I have been so lucky that the fan base has been so vocal about what they love from the franchise,” Holland told the publication. “We’ve been able to really lean into those things and capitalize on those things. So, I love standing up for the character, being in the room, and making sure that the decisions we make are what’s best for Peter Parker because he really does feel like one of my best friends. It’s a really weird experience diving into the character again. It just feels like you’re hanging out with an old pal.”

Holland told LADbible earlier this month that he is quite active on the internet when it comes to investigating what Spider-Man fans want to see out of him on the big screen. Holland takes fan wishes to producers of his “Spider-Man” movies during pitch meetings to ensure his comic book movies appeal directly to fans.

“For me, I want to do justice to Peter Parker’s character. I want to bring the fans something that’s really worthy of their time, and I’m very grateful for their investment in our franchise,” Holland told Esquire. “I don’t mean financially, I mean the time to go to the cinema three times. That’s a big ask.”

“I really just kind of put together a vibe of what people were looking for and went to Marvel and said, ‘This is what I think we should be doing,’” he continued. “And I think that’s exactly what we are doing. So, it’s been a really fun process developing the movie. It’s the first time I’ve ever been allowed in that part of the process, and it’s definitely a stressful experience. But I think where we’ve got to, now that we’re shooting, we are shooting absolute gold.”

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is being directed by “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings” helmer Destin Daniel Cretton. Holland is being joined by Marvel vets Jon Bernthal as Punisher and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk (although the actor recently said he’s still waiting on a script), plus returning franchise players Zendaya and Jacob Batalon. New cast members include Sadie Sink, Liza Colón-Zayas and Tramell Tillman.

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is set to open in theaters July 31 from Sony.
