While most trips to the grocery store involve nothing more dramatic than picking out the ripest avocado, Tom Holland’s recent visit turned into something straight out of a movie scene when a fight broke out nearby. Chaos ensued, until Tom Holland, the friendly MCU Spider-Man, stepped in to save the day. The English actor recently shared in an interview with Men’s Health how his superhero fame helped defuse a tense situation during a visit to the Los Angeles supermarket.
Holland said two customers were engaged in a heated argument when he decided to intervene. At first his efforts seemed futile, but the mood changed when one of the brawlers recognized him as Spider-Man. The realization seemed to put an end to the confrontation, as if the simple presence of a movie superhero calmed things down. Holland, however, remained modest about his role, attributing it to the power of his global reputation.
2025 promises to be a successful year for the 28-year-old actor. Holland is set to reprise his role as Spider-Man in the upcoming Spider-Man 4, which is expected to begin filming mid-year. The sequel, an extension of Peter Parker’s journey after No Way Home, is already marked for a summer 2026 release. Additionally, Holland has signed on for Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of The Odyssey, where he will co-star. screen with a lineup of stars, including Zendaya and Robert Pattinson.
From breaking up fights in a supermarket to preparing for back-to-back battles at the box office, Holland’s heroism seems to know no bounds. But here’s a question for you: if Spider-Man told you to calm down, would you be able to keep calm?
