Another said: “We’ve been here for about 20 minutes, but we came the other day and it was really exciting, it’s great for the city.”

In the most recent movie, released in 2021, Holland and his fellow alternate Spider-Men, played by Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire in other movies, came into contact due to a multiverse event.

The movie smashed box-office records in its opening weekend and nearly surpassed Marvel’s Avengers movies.
