Tom Holland has admitted he felt a little left out after learning he was not part of Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday presentation at San Diego Comic-Con. The Spider-Man star shared that he only found out about the event after seeing photos and videos of his Marvel co-stars on stage.
Speaking about the moment, Holland said, “I gotta be honest… I was a little offended. I didn’t even know it was happening then I saw online all my pals were on stage.”

Tom Holland reacts to missing the Marvel presentation
Holland’s comments quickly caught fans’ attention because Spider-Man has long been one of the biggest faces of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Seeing many familiar MCU actors reunite at Comic-Con naturally led to questions about why he was absent.
His remarks appeared lighthearted, but they also reflected the surprise of discovering the presentation through social media instead of being part of the event.
What this could mean for Avengers: Doomsday
Marvel has not explained Holland’s absence from the Hall H presentation. However, Spider-Man was also missing from the first Avengers: Doomsday trailer, which has fueled speculation about Peter Parker’s role in the upcoming crossover film.
Earlier this year, Holland avoided confirming whether he appears in Avengers: Doomsday. He said Marvel keeps major story details away from him because he has a reputation for accidentally revealing spoilers during interviews.
Fans continue to speculate
Marvel fans have been debating Holland’s comments across social media. Many believe he was joking about being “offended,” while others think Marvel is simply keeping Spider-Man’s involvement secret until closer to the film’s release. Community discussions have largely centered on the possibility that Marvel wants to avoid revealing major surprises too early.
For now, Marvel has not announced any new casting updates involving Holland and Avengers: Doomsday. Until the studio shares more details, Spider-Man’s place in the next Avengers movie remains one of the biggest unanswered questions in the MCU.
