Spider-Man: No Way Home has unveiled a first look at a deleted scene involving Tom Holland's brother.

The Peter Parker actor previously revealed that he managed to enlist his sibling Harry for a cameo as a thief caught by Spider-Man in the new Marvel blockbuster, though the moment ended up on the cutting room floor.

However, in a new behind-the-scenes preview (below), we see the other Holland briefly as he runs down the street before being harnessed upwards.

Tom explained earlier this month on The Graham Norton Show how the cameo came about, recalling that he himself had a particularly tough day on set after spending much of his time hanging upside down.

"I'm driving home at the end of the day, and I'm complaining," he revealed. "I'm whinging about the day, I'm like, 'I'm so tired, he's working me so hard. I just want a break.' And my brother Harry's like, 'Mate, you're Spider-Man. Suck it up and get on with it. You'll be fine.'"

The next day, Tom chatted to director Jon Watts, who suggested Harry to the star while looking for a young person to play a burglar Spider-Man catches, Tom adding: "I was like bollocks to Harry, he's doing it!

"We've cast Harry, he's on set and I go up to the stunt coordinator and say, 'Please just whatever you do, make it so that he's upside down,'" the actor continued.

"So we're doing this scene, Harry's upside down swinging back and forward, and bless him he's doing a really good job. And as the day's going on he's got these lines and he's starting to forget his lines, and his eyes look like they're going to pop out of his head."

On the drive home, Harry then gave in and admitted to his brother: "Mate, you can complain as much as you want, that was brutal."

Tom added: "The icing on the cake, I don't think he actually knows this, but we saw the film the other day, and they've cut the scene! It's not in the film.

"[Harry] said to me, 'Mate that was really tough, but I was just really excited about being in a Spider-Man movie.'

"Sucks to be you bro!" Tom went on to joke.

No Way Home was released only a few weeks ago, though has already become a huge hit at the box office, making over $1 billion – the first to do so since the pandemic and the third-fastest ever to reach the milestone.
