Tom Holland On Kirsten Dunsts Comments On ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’

Before the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, original Spider-Man trilogy star Kirsten Dunst stated that she believes the reboots of the franchise did not match the quality of Sam Raimi’s films and were produced solely for profits. In an interview with Movie’n’co UK, actor Tom Holland responded to Dunst’s comments on the latest Spider-Man reboot.

Tom Holland explained that he did not accept the role solely for financial gain:

“You know, she’s entitled to her own opinion and I’m not one to judge at all. I definitely am not doing this movie for the money. I mean, it’s a job that I think anyone would do regardless of what you were getting paid, you know? All I know is I had the greatest time on this movie and I absolutely loved it and, you know, if she doesn’t want to go and see it, I don’t really care. I don’t dislike her in any way for what she said and she’s entitled to her own opinion, so it’s all cool.”

While many still consider Sam Raimi’s first two films to be the gold standard, it appears audiences are on board with the latest version of the wall crawler as Spider-Man: Homecoming recently crossed the $600 million mark.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.

Directed by Jon Watts, the film stars Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Michael Chernus, Kenneth Choi, Hannibal Buress, Martin Starr, Michael Barbieri, Angourie Rice, Abraham Attah, Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is now playing in theaters!
