Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr may no longer share screen space as Spider-Man and Iron Man, but their friendship continues well beyond the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And when Downey decided to return to the MCU in a surprising new role, Holland was among the first people to hear about it.

The actor recently opened up about the moment Downey personally informed him about his highly anticipated MCU comeback. The Oscar-winning actor is set to return to the franchise as the iconic villain Doctor Doom, years after Tony Stark's emotional death in Avengers: Endgame.
