Actor Tom Holland and soccer player Lionel Messi surprised their followers with a promotional video for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the next installment of the Marvel superhero that will hit theaters on July 29.
An unexpected meeting
In the clip, which went viral on social networks, Peter Parker tries to go unnoticed in a store. The calm is broken when Messi appears looking for Spider-Man using an application called “Spidey Tracker.”
Upon meeting face to face, Parker recognizes the world champion and asks him in English:
“Are you Messi?”
The striker responds affirmatively and explains that he is looking for the spider hero. The conversation flows in both languages, and in a key moment, Holland’s character surprises by saying in Spanish:
“Wait here”
The promotion ends with a tour through the skies of New York, where Messi accompanies Spider-Man in a sequence that evokes the classic scenes of the superhero swinging between buildings.
Users on networks celebrated the meeting of two of the most popular figures in sports and entertainment. Some described the match as that of the “spider” and the “goat”, in reference to Messi’s nickname as the best footballer of all time.
