Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland has opened up on why Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) is resistant to the web-slinger becoming an official member of The Avengers in the new film.

After being recruited by Iron Man to help him in his fight against Team Cap in Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming follows Peter Parker now under the guidance and leadership of Stark in hopes he will eventually become an Avenger.

But in a recent chat with Collider, Holland was asked about the Father-Son dynamic between Peter and Tony when Holland explained that Tony is feeling responsible for Peter and wants to make sure Peter stays away from real danger while the young hero is still discovering the responsibility of his powers and what it means to be a hero:

“It’s interesting more so from the point of Tony Stark because he sort of has the responsibility of someone else other than himself. He really has to think about keeping Peter Parker safe, and he does that by telling him to be the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man rather than this world-saving Spider-Man. He says help the old lady across the street, help get the cat out of the tree, but Spider-Man wants more.”


Holland went further to assure that “Spider-Man wants to be an Avenger,” but that “the reason Tony doesn’t want him to be an Avenger is because he doesn’t want anything bad to happen to him.”
