Tom Hollandcontinues to spread joy to the world as Marvel’s new Spider-Man. The actor suited up in his web-slinger movie costume and joined hisSpider-Man: Homecomingcast matesZendayaandJacobBatalonduring a visit to New York Presbyterian Hospital. But it looks like at least one patient was hoping for Batman.
Zendaya caught some of the visit on tape, showing Holland putting on his mask before visiting with a sick kid named Nicholas as Spider-Man. Seeing the boy’s Batman t-shirt, he asked if he liked the Dark Knight better than Spider-Man, and Spidey fell short. His reasoning? “Poo poo.” Well, who could argue with that?
Watch a clip from their visit below.
Holland previouslyvisited patients at the Egleston Children’s Hospital in Atlanta, while he was filming a chunk ofHomecomingat the city’s Pinewood Studios. He evenstopped in for an interviewout of the facility’s Seacrest Studios Atlanta, which is a broadcast media center fromRyan Seacrestto help connect sick children with the outside world during their stay. It’s unclear when this particular visit to the New York hospital took place, but since principal photography is already over, perhaps it was back when the cast shot scenes in the Big Apple.
