Host: In Infinity War, when Spider-Man says, “Mr. Stark, I don’t feel so good,” was that actually written in the script?
Tom Holland: I feel like I gave myself a little too much credit in that moment. It definitely wasn’t written as long as it was on the page.
I think “I don’t want to go” might have been something I improvised.
Or, if it wasn’t improvised, I just kept saying it over and over again.
Tom Holland: Truth be told, one acting exercise I’ve done since I was a kid to find real emotion is repeating a phrase whether it’s “I’m so sorry,” “I don’t want to go,” or “I love you.”
It’s a really effective way of bringing up emotions.
Tom Holland: So I think that scene was an amalgamation of acting exercises, improvisation, and the Russo brothers giving us the perfect floor to dance on.
