Executive Summary

In this playful, high-energy interview, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon reunite to promote Spider-Man: No Way Home, jokingly framing the session as an "alternate universe" redone amid their greater fame. The trio banter throughout, with Tom dubbing Zendaya his "arch enemy" and clarifying Spider-Man's genuine powers versus their silly ones. Jacob shares that he started acting with Spider-Man in 2016, explains the Tagalog phrase "Salamat po," and jokes the film's title is "really depressing foreshadowing." Zendaya celebrates becoming the youngest Fashion Icon of the Year, details her Dune stillsuit's water-recycling purpose, and confesses to pridefully finishing a tough Spider-Man game segment herself. They also touch on the freezing reality of swinging between skyscrapers, Jacob's intentional non-leading-man physique for a new show, and the long list of people Spider-Man loves.
