Regarding questions about the height difference making filming difficult, or that it affects the romance of a relationship, Tom Holland and Zendaya responded in a cute way. want to faint.

Tom Holland and Zendaya are back for Spider-Man: No Way Home , as Peter Parker – Spider-Man and MJ – Spider-Man’s girlfriend. This rumored couple (because although their dating photos were revealed, the two have not yet officially confirmed) recently shared opinions that their height difference made filming a bit difficult, or That affects the romance of the relationship.

It’s clear that Zendaya is a few inches better than Tom Holland. When she appeared on the red carpet wearing high heels, the height difference between the two became even more obvious. The two laughed about an “anecdote”, that the scene where Spider-Man and MJ landed on a bridge was a… somewhat complicated scene. According to that scene, Spider-Man had to let MJ land on the bridge and go somewhere else. But due to his height, MJ was the one to land first, even though it should have been Spider-Man taking MJ to safety.

“It’s because of the difference in height between the two of us, if we were both at the same point I would land before him. My feet touched the ground before he touched the ground,” Zendaya explained.

“Zendaya is landing, and I’m a superhero so I have to look cool. I landed with my feet swinging a little bit, and then she would hold me,” Tom Holland added.

Zendaya joked that while filming that scene, Tom kind of breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you.” Tom Holland jokingly followed his “girlfriend”: “It’s great to change roles.”

As for comments that a height difference can affect the romance of a relationship, Tom Holland and Zendaya both agree that such thoughts are “problematic” and “wrong.” Tom said it was a “stupid assumption,” while Zendaya proved it with a real-life example: “This is normal, my mother is taller than my father. My mother is taller than everyone.”

Tom recounted that during the casting session for Spider-Man , he realized that the actresses who auditioned for the role of MJ were all taller than him. “I wonder if that was intentional by director Jon Watts? No one who auditioned for the role of MJ was shorter than me. To be fair, I’m quite short, so maybe it was Jon’s decision, he wanted to break the stereotype. I think that’s great.”

In the previous movie – Spider-Man: Far From Home , Peter Parker and MJ had a kiss scene. The audience can see that no “effort” was made to hide the “fact” that Zendaya is taller than Tom in that scene, Zendaya bowed her head slightly.

Zendaya said that it was a wonderfully sweet moment between the two characters, “Why not just let it be?”. The expectation that men must always be superior to women in a relationship is a wrong way of looking at it.

Ignoring the exciting stunts or the adorable height difference between the main couple, Spider-Man: No Way Home, released in theaters on December 17, was a resounding success. The film just hit the $1.05 billion revenue mark last weekend, an “extraordinary” achievement during the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of the web-slinging superhero at the box office has helped theaters close out the difficult old year and welcome a somewhat brighter new year.
