00:00This movie is all about the power of community and how even superheroes need someone to lean on.
00:05Who would you say you leaned on the most on set, from the cast or crew, to keep you grounded?
00:10You know, actually, this is going to sound a little corny, but I, my wife, was, like, I was always
00:15on the phone with her.
00:16Because sometimes there would be, like, stressful things happening and I didn't really have anyone to talk to.
00:20And so I would just call my wife up and she'd always be there.
00:23I love that. And I love the friendship that you and Tom and Zendaya have.
00:28How has your working relationship evolved since the first movie?
00:31I think we've gotten way, way, way too comfortable with each other.
00:35And we're not afraid to show it. And I think that's the best.
00:39Now, this is the first Spider-Man iteration to make it to four movies.
00:43What do you think it is about Tom that makes him such a great Spider-Man?
00:46I think, one, he carries it so well and he's just, like, a really amazing human being and that really
00:50helps a lot.
00:51And he's just a really amazing person who deserves the world.
00:54And with Destin, how would you say his directing style differed from working with John on the previous film?
00:59You know, Destin was very open and, like, collaborative and really wanting to make the set as comfortable as possible.
01:04And he was great just at, like, directing and being a leader and, like, really setting the tone for us
01:08to, like, really create and evolve and all that.
01:11And like I said, you, Tom, and Zendaya are at the center of these films.
01:14For you, what has it been like to be there with them since the beginning and just witness their partnership
01:19up close?
01:20It's beautiful, like, just getting to do life with everyone and, like, to really see the journey and have our
01:25journeys kind of coalesce.
01:26And it's just been, like, a really amazing family thing the whole ten years.
