[CHEERING, MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh, that's fantastic, tWitch.
And the only way we know it's you
is the dancing, because you could be anybody.
It is awesome to have you here.
Thank you so much.
I love this show.
I love you.
So thank you, thank you for having me.
Oh, thank you.
And this is-- it is your first American talk show.
So I am honored that I am your first American talk show.
And this is the best one to start off with.
So thank you.
[CHUCKLES]
Let's talk about Spider-Man.
So were you a fan growing up?
Huge fan.
Yep.
A huge, huge fan, yeah.
And how did you find out you got this role?
That's a huge thing, to get this role.
[CHUCKLES] I basically had been auditioning
for about five months.
And after my final audition, they said,
you'll find out tomorrow.
Fast forward six weeks, I was still waiting, still waiting.
And one day, Marvel just posted on their Instagram,
"Go to our website to find out who the new Spider-Man is."
And that's it.
I just found out online.
They didn't call me up or anything.
So I ran downstairs.
I was going ballistic.
My poor dog, Tessa, was terrified.
And my brother, Harry, who's pretty savvy
with technology and stuff was like,
dude, they've probably been hacked, bro.
Like, they would call you, right?
They would let you know.
And so I called my agents.
They were like, oh, this is amazing.
And then Kevin Feige finally rang me and said,
I've got some great news.
You're going to be Spider-Man.
I was like, I know, Kevin.
You put it on Instagram.
You had to lie to so many people.
How long did it take to make the movie?
[LAUGHS]
It was, like, a couple years, right?
How many years did you lie to people?
[LAUGHING] That is an unfair framing.
It was-- yeah, I lied to people for a good two years.
And I lied to the internet for two years.
And it felt great.
Who knew?
Besides your agent, who knew that you were doing this?
I mean, how hard is that to keep it to--
I mean, your family knew?
Yeah, my dad, my brother.
OK.
And my mother at the time.
And yeah, just kind of us.
It was fun to keep it secret because you
know when you're planning a surprise birthday
party for someone?
Yes, yeah.
And they're like, I hate surprises.
Tell me is the party happening?
No, seriously, Ellen, don't mess around
because you know I actually hate surprises.
And I can see on your face, you're
just like, I'm not going to tell you.
You're not gonna-- so it felt like I was part of organizing
a surprise birthday party for a bunch of people,
who I knew would appreciate it.
Everyone appreciated it.
We loved seeing you in it.
We love seeing you.
So your first day on the set, you're, what?
I mean, you've done a lot of big movies.
But what's your first day on this set like?
I'm going to be honest with you.
In Hollywood, we'll fake our moments
and say we had a moment.
And we do it all for the cameras.
But it was really a moment when I walked on set.
And he was in the suit.
And I'm in my makeup.
And I was just like, wow, this is really dope to be, like,
childhood--
you always dreamed about playing the superhero or the villain.
And then here we are.
We get a chance to do our thing.
And so it was really a moment.
So we wanted to make sure that this one,
that the villain and the superhero were really defined.
Because you root for your superhero according to what
his adversary is.
So I really wanted to make sure--
I wanted to let him know I was going to burn the city down
and him along with it.
[LAUGHTER]
Good for you.
Yeah.
I hear there is a lot of comedy in this one, too, right?
There actually is.
There's more.
Yeah, because in the first movie,
Peter was going through some just really intense stuff.
He's going through very intense stuff in this movie, as well.
But I think all the filmmakers wanted
to get back to that original Spider-Man thing, which
is he's saving the city and being a teenage kid
and enjoying himself and entertaining himself
and entertaining everyone else around him while he's doing it.
And I think that's what kind of separates him
from other superheroes.
When the movie comes out, I would
predict it's going to be a very, very successful movie.
And you're not going to be able to go
anywhere, which is very hard.
[LAUGHS]
That's going to be-- you're going to get recognized.
It's true.
You're not going to be able to leave your home.
So I want to help you be able to live your life freely
and go around.
So what I made you is--
[LAUGHTER, CHEERING]
This is all--
Wow, wow.
See, it's all one thing.
That's unreal.
[LAUGHS]
So you just put that on.
It's easy access as well as stylish.
Yes, so you don't have to-- because two things to put on
is too busy.
No, forget that.
So you just put the whole thing on.
Right.
And then there's a mustache here, also--
OK.
--that-- here, you want to put that on just to see?
You want to try that first?
Yeah.
All right.
This goes there, right?
It goes there on the mustache area.
Already I don't recognize you.
[LAUGHTER]
OK.
Let me see this.
[CHEERING]
Where did Andrew go?
I don't--
[LAUGHS]
That is a good look.
I feel like I should do a German accent.
Yeah.
I feel like I should be a German man of some description.
[LAUGHS] And you should dance like Dita.
You should dance around with your hands like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know if you know this, but you have a beard now.
What?
Yes, there's something on your face.
It happened finally after 29 years.
Now, were you worried that you couldn't grow a beard?
Yes.
I guess that's a big deal, that men
want to know that they can grow a beard.
That's the only reason to be a man, is to be--
Oh, really?
Yeah.
That's the only reason.
As far as I'm aware.
Yeah, so-- [LAUGHS]
And it's a nice, thick beard, too.
You did very well.
Congratulations.
Really?
Yeah, well, because, you know, they can be spotty.
It means a lot.
Really?
[CHEERING]
Now--
It actually does mean a lot because I
didn't think I was ever going to-- it was ever
going to happen.
You look good.
And we gave you a--
Thanks.
--disguise last time you were here.
Maybe that's what inspired it.
Subconsciously, I think--
Yes.
--that's what--
Because I think we gave you something that you looked--
That's the one.
That's right, yeah.
Because we knew that that movie would be very successful.
And people were going to be clamoring to get at you.
And then you grew your own disguise.
[LAUGHS] Yes.
Yeah.
Now, did you enjoy the--
you're making the second movie now again.
Yeah, we're making the second movie again.
Again, yeah.
We made it before, and it was terrible.
Right.
So we're starting a whole new--
My mind is not working.
Forgive me.
I understand.
So you're making-- you've already started on the next?
February, we start the next one.
Yes.
And we started pre-production.
We have a script.
And it's very, very good.
Oh, good.
Well, that's important.
Which is kind of-- yeah, you need that.
Otherwise--
Yeah, you don't want to just do it because it was successful.
Precisely, yeah.
All right, so Spider-Man, this is the last Spider-Man.
Is that what I'm hearing?
Maybe?
It probably won't be the last Spider-Man movie.
For me, I'm not sure whether it'll
be the last Spider-Man movie.
I haven't really thought about whether I would do more.
But--
It seems like a lot of work.
I mean, it's not just doing a movie.
That's hard work to be in that suit the whole time.
Yeah, it's a lot of work.
Yeah.
It's a lot of work.
It's fun.
But it's a lot of work.
Yeah.
And now, there's-- in this one, you can turn black,
what happens to the Spider-Man.
Here's Spider-man.
And then, all of a sudden, something attaches to you.
Nice.
Yeah, well, it's Cinco de Mayo.
So they're wearing sombreros.
Yeah, exactly.
The sombrero's a key.
Yeah.
Maybe in Spider-Man 4 I'll wear a sombrero.
That would be great.
Yeah.
Why not?
I agree.
Yeah.
I'm in.
All right, and one of those skirts like the dancers had.
Those were nice.
Yeah.
One of the things you were saying I
want, I'll take the skirt.
Is a skirt?
Yeah.
Jen might like it.
On me?
I don't know.
[LAUGHTER]
