According to actor Tom Holland, Spider-Man: No Way Home is not fun, it’s brutal. Holland recently chatted with Total Film for their latest issue and their Games Radar site also covered the conversation.

“What people will be really surprised about is that it’s not fun, this film,” Tom Hollands tells Total Film in the new issue of the magazine, featuring Scream on the cover. “It’s dark and it’s sad, and it’s going to be really affecting. You’re going to see characters that you love go through things that you would never wish for them to go through. And I was just really excited to kind of lean into that side of Peter Parker.”

“Peter Parker is always someone who’s looking up. He’s always really positive. He’s always like, ‘I can fix this. I can do this.’ Whereas in this film, he feels like he’s met his match. He’s like, ‘I don’t know what to do.’ That was an aspect of the character that I’d never seen before, and I was really, really excited to try to tackle. I haven’t seen the film yet but I’ve seen pieces of the film, and it’s the best work we’ve ever done. It’s the best Spider-Man film that we’ve ever made. I really don’t think fans are at all ready for what they’ve put together. I know that I’m not ready, and I know that it’s going to be brutal.”

I’ve certainly heard some fans who feel Holland’s Spidey has not suffered enough heartache thus far. Could all that be about to change in No Way Home? Could Holland’s Parker lose someone close to him this time out? What do you think about Tom Holland’s comments that Spider-Man: No Way Home is not fun, it’s brutal?
