Tom Holland Auditioned For ‘Star Wars’ And Bombed

Before landing the coveted role of Spider-Man amid the Sony and Marvel deal to reboot the character, Tom Holland took a stab at another franchise: Star Wars. In a new interview, Tom revealed he audition for the role of Finn, which ultimately went to John Boyega.

Something was throwing him off during the audition and made him laugh!  Via Backstage:

I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her, and she was just a drone. So I was doing all of this, like, “We gotta get back to the ship!” And she was going, “Bleep, bloop bloop, bleep bloop.” I just couldn’t stop laughing. I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they’re called. Yeah, I obviously didn’t get the part. That wasn’t my best moment.

Obviously, things worked out well for Holland because he nailed his webslinger audition. He’s in the middle of shooting his sixth MCU movie, Spider-Man 3, which is described as a multiverse-spanning epic and the “most ambitious standalone superhero movie ever,” according to Tom.  Oh…and he also DID get a chance to work with Daisy Ridley aka Rey from Star Wars, in the new movie Chaos Walking.
