Tom Holland made good on his promise to young Bridger Walker, a fan of his who saved his sister from a dog attack and sustained several injuries—including needing 90 sutures—because of it.
Several celebrities sent messages to Bridger but only Holland invited Bridger to do some real life superhero work.
Well, as real as superhero work gets in our reality.
Bridger, Tom Holland, and Zendaya were all able to hang out on the set of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and got to try some seriously cool stuff, including filling in for Zendaya in a stunt.
“When we first arrived on set, I was a little apprehensive that once the ‘curtain was pulled back’ that the magic of the movies would be lost for the kids,” wrote Bridger's dad, Robert Walker, on Instagram.
“The opposite was true! Tom, Zendaya…and the entire cast/crew made our kids feel like stars. They don’t just act the part of friendly neighborhood heroes – that’s what they truly are.”

Walker also said Holland and Zendaya were gracious to every single person in the family, including their teenage daughter and those simple acts of kindness will last with him for a long time.
“While there are so many reasons [‘No Way Home’] will go down as one of the best ever—I personally think it is because the cast and crew are good, kind, and passionate people."
“Individuals who heard about a little boy’s injury, who wanted to make it right. People who were willing to stop a very busy day of shooting to make my little boy smile, and give him a chance to ’web-swing’ with his hero.”
