Tom Holland continued, “When Black Panther was coming out, Robert Downey Jr was making Dr. Dolittle in London and he was staying down the road from where I live. And he brought us to a screening of Black Panther at his house, and Paddy comes running into the room and he’s holding the original Iron Man helmet and Downey had given it to him as a gift.”
He continued, “That’s a really special one for me because I was lucky enough to join the MCU but I joined it very late, and that souvenir, you know, that’s from the original film, that’s the birthplace of this incredible world that Kevin Feige and Marvel created and Downey and Favreau kickstarted, so to have something from that film, it’s a huge honor.”
