Ever since his first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Spider-Man, in 'Captain America: Civil War', actor Tom Holland has been one to watch. Now, just ahead of the release of 'Avengers: Infinity War', we're more impatient than ever to see the talent in action once again. One question remains however: is Peter Parker up to the challenge of being an official Avenger? "He does a lot of learning on the job, but if put to it, Peter Parker's a pretty capable superhero", says Holland.

We managed to sit down with the actor recently and he told us all about his favourite Marvel films and what it was like being a fan before taking up his current role: "As a young actor growing up in this industry, you always hope that one day you'll end up in these movies, and I'm just lucky that I ended up as Spider-Man", he revealed. Check out the video to find out which UCM films Holland particularly rates!

Thanos demands your silence

Given that he was once a fan much like us, it's no surprise that Holland finds it difficult keeping certain storylines a secret. One of the latest spoilers to see the light of day with thanks to the young actor has been the appearance of a young Peter Parker in 'Iron Man 2'. Since that incident, Holland himself has revealed he's terrible at keeping secrets and so now, the Russo brothers (Joe and Anthony) have taken further precautions.

Early April, the Russos released a letter asking fans to respect other viewers when watching 'Infinity War' by not revealing any spoilers. The since deleted tweet once read:

"To the greatest fans in the world,

We're about to embark on the Avengers: Infinity War press tour. We will be visiting fans all over the world screening only a limited amount of selected footage from the film in order to avoid spoiling the story for future viewers.

We will not screen the film in its entirety until the Los Angeles premiere shortly before the film's global release. Everyone involved with the film has worked incredibly hard for the past two years maintaining the highest level of secrecy. Only a handful of people know the film's true plot.

We're asking that when you see Infinity War, in the coming months, that you maintain that same level of secrecy so that all fans can have an equal experience when they watch it for the first time. Don't spoil it for others, the same way you wouldn't want it spoiled for you.

Good luck and happy viewing"

and was accompanied by the hashtag reading #ThanosDemandsYourSilence. Though instructed to remain tightlipped about the plot, Tom Holland still managed to reveal the tweet was meant for him.

So well-known is Holland's reputation as a blabbermouth that he's had to film scenes without knowing who he'd be working with and appeared in interviews alongside a nanny of sorts. Check out this clip of Benedict Cumberbatch having to interfere before things took a turn for the worse!
