Tom Holland's first scene in the MCU was initially substantially cut down – but his co-star and scene partner Robert Downey Jr. fought to save it.
"When I got to set after I got the gig, my scene had been cut down significantly from what I did in the audition. It was now maybe two pages," Holland told the Rich Roll podcast, explaining that he'd read eight pages of dialogue in his audition. "Downey piped up: 'Where did all of the kid’s lines go?'"
