Spider-Man: Homecoming's Tom Holland Shares Touching Video of Hospital Visit

As Marvel and Sony prepare for their joint Spider-Man movie venture Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, the new Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland, has been making the rounds - from doing appearance in late-night TV show sketches, to visiting children in the hospital.
Holland has shown some particularly altruistic charm while doing his benevolent duty. Like other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars before him (Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Chris Pratt), Holland truly seems to respect the mantle of the Spider-Man character, and its power to bring comfort and joy to those facing some of the toughest life circumstances.
See for yourself:
With all the impassioned debates and/or trolling that occurs online when it comes to superhero movies, we sometimes forget that these same films (however they adapt the characters, who plays the roles) have the power to actually affect lives in a meaningful and important way. Seeing Holland brighten up those kids' worlds is endearing, but also bittersweet, as it reminds us that there is much more important stuff happening around us - and that a little positive spirit can go a long way.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is directed by Jon Watts, from a screenplay by Jonathan M. Goldstein & John Francis Daley and Watts & Christopher Ford and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers, and stars Tom Holland (In the Heart of the Sea), Michael Keaton (Batman, Birdman), Zendaya (K.C. Undercover), Donald Glover (The Martian, Community), Jacob Batalon (North Woods), Laura Harrier (One Life to Live), Tony Revolori (The Grand Budapest Hotel), Tyne Daly (Cagney and Lacey), Bokeem Woodbine (Fargo), with Marisa Tomei (My Cousin Vinny, The Wrestler), and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man, The Avengers). It also includes Martin Starr (Silicon Valley), Kenneth Choi (The People vs. O.J. Simpson), Michael Mando (Better Call Saul), Selenis Leyva (Orange is the New Black), Isabella Amara (The Boss), Jorge Lendeborg, Jr. (Graceland), JJ Totah (Liv and Maddie), and Hannibal Buress (30 Rock).
