Superhero costumes may look awesome, but apparently are not always the most comfortable thing in the world to wear. Shortlist (via ComicBook) asked Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland to grade the web-slinging suit in terms of comfort on a scale from 1 to 10.
“A solid three,” replied Holland. “It’s not comfy but it’s the Spider-Man outfit – it’s the coolest thing ever. You look like a badass and feel like a gangster. The best thing is wearing it meeting kids – they genuinely think you have superpowers.”

Holland will be donning the Spidey suit once again this July for Spider-Man: Homecoming, while he’s also reprising the role for Avengers: Infinity War, which started production today.
A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
