During the show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Robert Pattinson shared that he saw Tom Holland wearing a full Spider-Man outfit before he was even cast. The actor said that he was the only one who saw Tom and they were in the middle of nowhere. He said, "I think he hadn't even been cast as Spider-Man and he was wearing a Spider-Man outfit when I was shooting that movie. And I was like, 'He really manifested that part.' He was wearing a Spider-Man [outfit]. I swear to God that we were in Colombia and I'm 99% certain he wasn't cast yet." 

Host Jimmy Kimmel asked if Holland was wearing just a t-shirt with Spider-man printed on it or whether it was a full-blown costume. Pattinson said, "No, it looked like a proper costume and we were in the middle of nowhere in Colombia with no one around. No one witnessed this except for me." Holland was annocued as the new Spider-Man in 2015 and made his debut as the web-slinger in the 2016 movie Captain America: Civil War.
