Before the ‘Ms. Marvel ‘, Matthew Lintz would have been Spiderman but the role was won by Tom Holland

Now that the series’Ms. Marvel’is finally available in the Disney + catalog, Marvel fans have been able to meet Matteo Lintzwhich gives life to the beloved and super genius Bruno Carrelli, Kamala Khan’s best friend, but who years ago was about to become Marvel’s new Spiderman, even if in the end the role was left to Tom Holland.

The British actor, starring in ‘Uncharted’, ‘Cherry’ and other hits, stole audiences ‘hearts as the youngest web-slinger in cinema, behind Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, with whom he shares the screen in’ Spiderman: There is no way to go home. ‘ But surprisingly, his fate could have been very different years ago when Matthew Lintz nearly landed the role in “Captain America: Civil War”.

In 2015 it was revealed that Marvel Studios would do a reboot for Spiderman, this time with a much younger actor, who would make his debut in the third Captain America movie, where Tom Holland was first presented in an arachnid costume, but had to compete with other actors, such as Matthew Lintz, whom the world now knows as Bruno from ‘Ms. Wonder’.

Charlie Plummer and Matthew Lintz were the two actors who came to the end of the Spiderman auditions, along with the English actor: “It was on top of Spider-Man, which ultimately went to this guy, Tom Holland. I don’t know if you know who he is“, joked the interpreter of Bruno, in an interview with Insiderwhere he confessed to auditioning for Marvel Studios years ago.

Of course today it is impossible to imagine Matthew Lintz in the arachnid suit because his role as Bruno in ‘Ms. Marvel ‘fits like a glove, as in the case of Tom Holland with Spidermanwho took on the character and this role will follow him throughout his life in the same way as Iron Man for Robert Downey Jr.

Matthew Lintz met Tom Holland on set

Contrary to what some might think, actor Matthew Lintz holds no grudge against his partner Tom Holland, whom he had the opportunity to meet while filming ‘Ms. Wonder’: “It was great because he came to one of our sets one day and I got to talk to him, and I admire him in so many ways. He is an incredible person and actor and it seems that life has come full circle“, he expressed.

The future of Marvel Studios is uncertain, but it is a fact that a new ten-year saga could be hidden in the stories of young people, so the path of Tom Holland as Spiderman and Matthew Lintz as Bruno, the best friend of Ms Marvel, it is far from over and these actors will continue to work with the house of ideas for a long time.
