Opening up about working with his Spidey predecessors, Tom Holland told Marvel.com that seeing Tobey and Andrew suited up once more was like being part of "a brotherhood".

Revealing that Tobey was "really excited" to be back, Tom said: "Man, he was so funny... You could tell it really meant a lot to him. Him putting the suit on again. Us getting back together. It was awesome."

As for "the legend himself" Andrew Garfield, Tom said that the Amazing Spider-Man's return was a way of Garfield "making peace" with the webslinger. "I know that it meant a lot to him," he added.

And it was pretty emotional for Zendaya, too.

"It was so beautiful," she said of No Way Home's surprise Spider-Man reunion. "[Tobey, Andrew and Tom] care so deeply about the characters, and what their characters – what their journey had been as Spider-Man.

"It was so beautiful to see all of [them] connect on that and be able to talk to each other about such a special experience that very few people have been able to don the suit."

She added: "It was great to see how much [they] all really cared and had each other's back. It was really sweet."

Spider-Man: Far From Home is available now on DVD, Blu-ray and digital download. Spider-Man: No Way Home is out now in cinemas.
