Tom Holland has revealed that he has a group chat with his fellow Spiderman actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield (yes, you read that right).

Despite filming for Spider-Man: No Way Home wrapping over two years ago, Holland has revealed that he and the A-listers try to catch up ‘now and then’... so much so, there's a group chat to keep them all in the loop with one another.

Aptly named ‘The Spider-Boys’, the chat was initially created as the trio bonded on the set of No Way Home.

Given that they’ve all played the titular superhero, it’s understandable that the actors would become so close.

Andrew Garfield once even revealed that they formed a friendship over their rather, um, tight costumes as they recreated the iconic pointing Spidey meme.

Appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the 39-year-old actor made the not-safe-for-work admission, saying that he, Holland and Maguire were ‘comparing bulges’. (Yes, really!)

“We were all kind of like thrown onto a set and told to point at each other,” he confessed during the late-night talk show.

Continuing, he revealed that the group struggled to get the photo because of how funny they all found the moment.

“I think we got one good shot because the rest of the time, we were just laughing and trying not to stare at each other’s crotches and just comparing bulges,” Garfield admitted.

Whilst comparison is usually the thief of joy, it doesn’t seem to have harmed the trio’s blossoming friendship.

In fact, Holland has said that he and Garfield even had deep conversations about playing the radioactive superhero.

Holland replaced the actor in the titular role back in 2016 and told The Hollywood Reporter that he regretted no approaching the A-Lister before starring alongside him in No Way Home.

“I was 19 when I got cast. I was so caught up in getting the role that I never took any time to think about what it must have been like for him,” he recalled, adding that he was glad to clear the air on set.

“It was wonderful,” Holland told the magazine, adding that the group are still in close contact to this day.

“Myself, Andrew, Tobey — we have this amazing bond as three people who have been through something that is so unique that we really are like brothers,” he added.

“We have a great group chat and we catch up every now and then. It’s called the Spider-Boys.”

Whilst we might not know what’s been said, we think this is one group chat we wouldn’t mind being added to.
