Tom Holland, known for his frequent slip-ups regarding Marvel Cinematic Universe plot points, has shared his most regrettable spoiler moment. The actor recounted an incident during the Los Angeles premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day where he accidentally revealed the ending of Avengers: Infinity War to a theater full of people who had just sat down to watch the film.
Holland described walking into a room expecting the movie to have concluded, only to discover the audience was just beginning to watch. Believing the film was over, he made a public announcement, stating, "Don't worry everybody, I'm still alive!" This revelation was met with a collective sigh from the audience, prompting a mortified reaction from Holland and a subtle attempt by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige to silence him.
At the time of the incident, Spider-Man, along with numerous other Marvel characters, met their demise at the hands of Thanos after he acquired the Infinity Stones. This pivotal and somber moment saw the high school student character pleading for his life to Iron Man. While this fate was ultimately reversed in Avengers: Endgame a year later, Holland's impromptu spoiler spoiled the emotional impact for those in attendance.
Despite his notorious reputation for divulging spoilers, Holland has managed to keep other plot details under wraps. He successfully kept Sadie Sink's secret role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day confidential, a spoiler that was eventually shared by R&B singer Steve Lacy.
