what's going on there reject nation we're gonna watch today a fun
spider-man video again this one is tom hollands and dia and jacob babylon react
to their original cast auditions i've never personally seen their cast auditions this
will be the first for a lot of people involved anyhow if you could leave a
like flip that like button you know what we say when it's spider-man let's get to it
wow i've wanted to see these for so long
so we're obviously shooting spider-man 3 and we're all going to sit down and watch our audition tapes
that laughs
and walked back in the scene
have you ever played down earth
they are thrashing that limiter thank you the self-care that's the best that's the best
i was just wondering if you're nervous about the debate is this is supposed to follow
i think sex nicole has a pretty solid legging yours is just really good
audition even back then oh yeah right right he has mono tell me more
i feel like my whole audition i was like so nervous that i can say the right words well
i'd say they made a good decision hey look not me right now not us not us look at us look at us
good job guys wow good job everyone watching that's great let's do it we should go and
make a movie exactly how we played those scenes let's do it all right oh no goodness
i watched that movie i could barely watch a video i did six months ago i can't imagine
what it's like to watch this thing when you auditioned for it years ago especially
because you have that feeling of like i've grown so much not only physically but also like
as a performer i think at that time i'd imagine zendaya coming off of whatever
that disney thing that she was on probably had the most fame and was most accustomed to like
the filmmaking and whatnot is probably more used to seeing herself on camera because they even
joked about like yeah she's actually just doing like a really good one this is like today actually
this is good acting yeah but you know especially for people like tom hall and jacob battle on to
go back and realize like oh i've grown so much as an actor for so much as talented to see that you
can see like where all that converting the cringe into slamming on the table smacking things around
ah that was a that was a delight i really enjoyed the hell out of that video yeah absolutely and
it's fun to see the things that maintained from way back then that still made like that
laugh he does like some of those mannerisms that made it into even the later movies are
still part of the performances even though they are you know a little funny to look back on now
and yeah just to see yeah the way jacob battle and walks out of frame comes back in to restart
the scene like things that yeah obviously now you know you just go into it but it's so much
fun to see yeah like the very origins of that and the sort of shy beginnings that led to the
biggest movie of all time or one of the biggest movies of all time anyway can someone explain
to me in the comments i thought jacob battle on is bald and he's wearing a wig i thought he
was even in his audition he was but then here in this video when he's reacting he's wearing a wig
or is that his actual hair does he just prefer the shaved look is it like when christian bale would
do american accents in his interviews when he was playing an american character to not confuse the
audience i'm playing a guy with hair yeah did they put on a wig just to not confuse people because 99
time when he does promos he's he's bald so i was like whoa where'd all this had a hair come from
is that a wig or is that real i was a little bit lost there but anyway yeah i mean looking back at
this footage and seeing just how much they've all grown i would say that it's funny like tom
hall is obviously perhaps the biggest star of the mall like uncharted was a big hit he is
spider-man however i think zendaya is like the most talented one if you guys have watched i'm
telling you if you have not seen you before yet hey you should definitely be of a certain
age if you haven't seen before you it's quite mature content needless to say but there is
episodes in there where zendaya is just beyond phenomenal and and such a nuanced natural actress
i can't stress that enough so i would like oh yeah she's probably the better performer or charismatic
star and i don't really know jacob babylon's other work i don't really know what else he's been in
do you nope just the spider might feel bad saying that but just the spider-man movies although i
would love to see him in more things i mean i feel like he does kind of get the bottom rung
of the totem pole because of the flashy stuff that tom holland and zendaya are involved in but
he's really great and he's got great comedic timing so i hope that yeah this still blossoms
outward for him as much as it does for them you know i wonder if he still has to audition though
because every actor gets to a certain stage and there's like other actors that i know of or i'm
still surprised by oh they make you audition still like there's certain actors of certain levels that
i've met where you'd think they they only go off of being offered roles because auditioning is just
this whole other process in and of itself into like audition for a marvel film you got so much
competition you got a lot of people trying to get that role so to narrow it down to the right person
there's just a lot of pressure on both ends there's a lot of pressure on that one person
and who's going to play the role and there's a lot of pressure on the people picking the
role and so many other variables go into that as well i think the thing that i really like about
what marvel does is they seem to mainly go off of the best performer for the job
more than anything else like i i'm fortunate enough to know like enough you know producer
director people where i won't name drop anyone but i know enough to the point where i can
get these stories of you you sit in all these auditions and you hear like the craziest stuff
i've heard this before like that person's the best actor but that other one has a bigger social media
following maybe we should go with her these are like things they actually discuss in the casting
process in the audition room and it's so cool to see that the three of them relatively unknown
or moderately known easily three not not like super famous people to be able to get a chance
at this movie and to see just how popular they've got it it's really is a story of overcoming odds
there's so many odds factored against you we're so used to seeing people where they're already famous
we're already like hey overnight star something like that but when you see this it just reminds
you of the hard work labor the focus commitment all that factored in and on top of all that you
have to beat unsurmountable odds and they did it so this is really inspiring to for them to go back
and see that it's like they might be laughing and cringing but it's really inspiring really
yeah absolutely and too i mean i've heard a lot of actors talk different ways about the self tape
versus being in the room and just looking at these here it almost feels like yeah with that self tape
they're able to especially tom holland bring out that creativity that i imagine bridges the gap
that much more into the charm that will lead to a casting choice like that that whole thing with the
boots where he does the the web gag or he flips into frame he won't be able to do that in the
room with the producers and stuff like that and so yeah it also gets to show the creativity that can
sometimes be that extra ounce of lightning in the bottle that gets you a roll like this
you know so it's it's it's a fascinating look at the approach and and then you know i'm not like an
actor actor but you know thinking to me i'm like damn it seems like almost self tape would be the
way to go because then you can be creative and put your stamp on something without getting alienated
in the room because oftentimes in a person to person environment that's actually discouraged
so yeah it's a good sort of glimpse into you know what leads to these massive blockbusters as well
as any other indie movie true that all right guys well uh spiderman no way home did you pre-order it
leave your thoughts down below thanks for being here with us to have a good laugh
