Tom Holland and Zendaya reveal Spider-Man suit upgrade on El Hormiguero, Zendaya teases him over golf obsession
Appearing on Antena 3's El Hormiguero, Tom Holland confirmed his long-requested zipper finally made it into the Spider-Man suit, while Zendaya poked fun at his reliance on golf as a mental escape.
Suit upgrades and safety fears
Tom Holland revealed that after years of asking, his Spider-Man suit now includes a zipper, fulfilling a practical need on set.
Zendaya had her own concern: the original mask was so hard to remove she feared he would choke. The new mask is easier to take off and safer, she said.I finally got my wish.
Golf confession and a quick retort
When host Pablo Motos asked how they handle global fame, Holland immediately answered, "Golf is my lifesaver."
He clarified that golf humbles him no matter what contracts he signs.Thank you, huh.
A mature Spider-Man for a new chapter
The couple described 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' as the most emotional installment yet. Set four years after 'No Way Home', Peter Parker lives alone and has voluntarily erased himself from the memories of those he loves. Zendaya said the story is seen through Peter's eyes with greater depth. Holland teased new characters including The Punisher, Scorpion, Boomerang, and secret villains, while calling the action sequences the best they have ever filmed.
Crochet and AI reassurances
Zendaya gave an impromptu live crochet lesson to Motos and Holland. When asked about AI threatening the film industry, she stated there are many things AI cannot do.
Creativity is safe from AI because it has to do with human experience, with emotions, with connecting with others. AI doesn't understand those emotions. … The way an artist paints is not the technique, it is what they express, and AI expresses nothing. I feel we are protected.
From co-stars to secret wedding
Holland first appeared on El Hormiguero in 2015 as a teenager; Zendaya joined him for this first joint interview in 2026. Their off-screen relationship, confirmed in 2021, has been notoriously private. Stylist Law Roach recently confirmed the couple had a secret wedding.
