How 13 MCU Actors Reacted The First Time They Saw Their Costumes

That first-time costume experience is normally a very exciting time, as evidenced by most of the entries on this list. Just imagine being a Marvel superhero - acting gigs don't get much better than that.

However, for Tom Holland, "exciting" would be the wrong word to use.

The young actor was cast as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in the summer of 2015, and he didn't have much time to celebrate before the hard work began. He started shooting Captain America: Civil War pretty much straight away, and this rushed schedule meant that his first time wearing the Spidey suit fell a little bit flat.

In fact, the schedule was so rushed, that Holland's suit wasn't even tailor-made. Instead, he had to wear his stunt double's, and because this double was bigger and bulkier than Holland, the costume was loose, saggy, and far from a perfect fit.

Holland said he was "disappointed" with this experience, stating that he looked like "a really sad version of Spider-Man".

I imagine he looked something like this:
