‘I was upside down all day for 11 hours – honestly, I really have nothing to complain abut, being Spider-Man has changed my life – but I am absolutely gonna complain about this day – it was brutal,’ Holland said.
Holland said that on the way home from the shoot, he was complaining about the physical rigors of filming upside down, when Harry told him, ‘You’re Spider-man, suck it up and go on with it, you’ll be fine.’
Holland said director Jon Watts told him about the need for an actor for the role of a burglar, and he suggested Harry for the part.
‘We cast Harry and he’s on set,’ Holland said. ‘I go up to the stunt coordinator and I’m like, “Please just whatever you do with the stunt, make it so he’s upside down.”
