Tom Holland open to concept of gay Spider-Man“In an interview with Britain’s Sunday Times newspaper, Tom, who currently plays Peter in the live-action Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films, said that “of course” he could see the character being gay in the future.“The world isn’t as simple as a straight white guy. It doesn’t end there, and these films need to represent more than one type of person,” the 23-year-old continued.Tom has also helped the LGBTQ community, as he learned that his cross-dressing performance as Rihanna on U.S. TV show Lip Sync Battle had given a young transgender kid a confidence boost.“I met a lady in Texas who had a young boy in her school who likes to wear women’s clothes,” he explained. “He was bullied. Then I dressed as Rihanna, and she told me that boy felt so much more confident because he saw Spider-Man do it. That was really touching. Me just doing a dance routine helped someone.” -- source link
