Tom Holland‘s audition footage for the Spider-Man franchise has surfaced in a behind-the-scenes featurette clip exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.

The actor, who was only a teenager at the time, can be seen using his signature charm and energy while trying out for the role that eventually made him a global movie star.

In one clip Tom, now 25, was shown rapidly extending his hands, acting as if Spider-Man’s webs were flying from his fingers.

Trying out: Tom Holland’s audition footage for the Spider-Man franchise has surfaced in a behind-the-scenes featurette clip exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com

Ready for his close-up: Tom first appeared as Spider-Man in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War before getting his first stand-alone film Spider-Man: Homecoming (pictured) in 2017

Somebody off-camera then tossed Tom a large boot as a stand-in for whatever object Spider-Man was supposed to be retrieving with the webs.

Another clip with the audio off showed Tom chatting casually with the camera while wearing a backpack slung from just one shoulder.

That piece of footage clearly showed him as Spider-Man’s alter ego Peter Parker, an unassuming high school student. 

Tom could be seen in another clip playing a scene for the audition that involved him looking down somewhat abashedly and walking off.
