Tom Holland recently revealed that his movie, Spider-Man delivered a powerful message to youth.

The English actor spoke with Collider and reflected on the evolution of Peter Parker in the Spider-Man movie, where he is not only shown as a superhero but also discussed the importance of community and loneliness in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

“I think what I am most proud of when thinking about this movie is the message. I really hope young people everywhere will watch this film and appreciate the importance of community and that you don’t have to do this alone,” explained the 29-year-old.

The Odyssey actor went on saying that in the “digital age, it’s so easy to sit in a room and waste hours just scrolling, but nothing is better than getting out of the house and socialising with friends”.

“That is just one of the many lessons Peter learns in this movie,” he told the outlet.

Elsewhere in the interview, Tom talked about the evolution of the character in the superhero movie.

“It was allowing the character to mature so when we meet him, he feels like he has grown up and been through a lot post the events of No Way Home,” continued the Uncharted actor.

Tom also opened up that he wanted to “take a break from the character for that exact reason”.

“There are traits of Peter that will be forever present, but it does feel like an evolution of the character,” he added.

Meanwhile, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is going to release in theatres on July 31.
