Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland didn’t just save the universe in Avengers: Infinity War, they clashed over it. While Earth’s mightiest heroes teamed up on screen, these two were throwing down their own bold claims behind the scenes. And yep, fans were left picking sides.
On set, things got… lively.
Both actors had serious thoughts about how Doctor Strange and Spider-Man should tackle their big moments. Cumberbatch later admitted they had different ideas about how things should go, while Holland fought hard to keep Peter Parker’s youthful heart front and center.
It wasn’t ugly. It wasn’t petty. It was pure, chaotic, Marvel-style passion.
Cumberbatch didn’t just wave a Sling Ring and hope for the best. He knew Infinity War had everything on the line. “There was a lot at stake, not just for the characters, but for how the audience would connect with them,” he said (via Screenrant). That weight hung over every argument. Every decision.

Holland’s playful instincts collided with Cumberbatch’s serious approach, giving fans two camps to battle over long after Thanos snapped his fingers.
Thing is, Infinity War wasn’t built to be tidy. Joe and Anthony Russo practically wanted the actors to bring their chaos. Different ideas. Clashing visions. Big emotions. All of it brewed into the messy, beautiful storm that made the movie what it was.
And let’s be real: this wasn’t Holland’s first Marvel mischief moment. The dude was practically a spoiler machine. During the Infinity War press tour, Cumberbatch half-joked that he had to play “babysitter” to Holland to stop him from spilling major secrets mid-interview.
The bickering? The babysitting? It only made their scenes feel even more real.
In the end, whatever backstage fireworks went off, they didn’t leave a scratch on the final product. Actually, the mini-clash made it stronger. Their fight to protect their characters is part of what gave Infinity War its heart.
Today, fans still argue: Should Peter have been more reckless? Should Strange have been tougher? Was Holland right? Was Cumberbatch? Honestly, who cares? The fact people are still debating proves just how much fire these two brought.
Because when actors care enough to clash, to challenge, to push, you don’t just get another superhero flick. You get Infinity War – the boldest, messiest, most ambitious Marvel movie ever dropped on us.
And yeah. It was totally worth it.
