Unexpected meeting in a store
Tom Holland and Lionel Messi shared the screen in a promotional video for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the next installment of the Marvel superhero that will hit theaters on July 29. The recording, spread on social networks, quickly went viral.
In the clip, Peter Parker tries to go unnoticed in a store, but Messi looks for him using the “Spidey Tracker” app. Upon meeting, the actor recognizes the footballer and asks him in English: “Are you Messi?” The striker answers yes and explains that he is after Spider-Man. The conversation takes place with each one in their own language.
A detail that surprised fans
One of the most talked-about moments occurs when Holland tells Messi in Spanish: “Wait here,” before continuing the adventure. The promotion concludes with a tour through the skies of New York, where the soccer player accompanies the hero in a sequence that evokes the classic scenes of the character swinging between buildings.
In addition to showing a different facet of the Argentine, the commercial seeks to increase expectations for the premiere of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, one of the most anticipated productions in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Reaction in networks
The collaboration did not go unnoticed. Users celebrated the meeting of two popular sports and entertainment figures. Some described the moment as that of the “spider” and the “goat”, in reference to the superhero and Messi’s nickname as the best footballer of all time.
