Watch Tom Holland Get Grilled Over His Spider-Man Gadgets

Spider-Man has made use of some nifty gadgets over the course of 55 years of comic books.

While few are as iconic as his web shooters, some have stood out among the reset, such as his web wings and spider tracer — he’s even had a Spider Buggy.

The movies have yet to prominently feature any of his tools to the extent we’ve seen in Batman or Iron Man films, keeping the focus on Peter Parker’s heroic nature and his core abilities. But that looks to change in Spider-Man: Homecoming, when the character gets a massive upgrade in tech courtesy of mentor Tony Stark.

To test the actor’s knowledge of all the different gadgets, IGN spoke with star Tom Holland and quizzed him about the various Spidey gadgets he’s employed during his publishing history — apparently, there are a lot.

He missed one of the most obscure items from recent comics, the Cryo Cubes (which actually look more spherical that cubic, but whatever!), but Holland does manage to name pretty much all of the other ones.

When asked about the Spider Drone (or spider tracer, if you’re so inclined) Holland went so far as to call the piece of tech his character’s best friend. He hinted at the use of the tool without giving it away, revealing that it acts as a recon device in the film.


We’ll find out what other Spider Gadgets the ole’ Webhead employs throughout the film when Spider-Man: Homecoming debuts in theaters on July 7.

Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, young Peter Parker (Tom Holland) returns home to live with his Aunt May. Under the watchful eye of mentor Tony Stark, Parker starts to embrace his newfound identity as Spider-Man. He also tries to return to his normal daily routine — distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just a friendly neighborhood superhero. Peter must soon put his powers to the test when the evil Vulture emerges to threaten everything that he holds dear.

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, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.
