Tom Holland Wants A Body Swap Movie With Wolverine And Spider-Man
Description
He does whatever a Spider can - but what about body-swapping?
In an interview with Comics Explained, Spider-Man actor Tom Holland revealed that he would love for Peter Parker and Wolverine to team up for a body swap movie.
Comics Explained asked Holland which Marvel movie world outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe he would like to appear in, and Holland had his answer at the ready, citing a 15-year-old Ultimate Spider-Man storyline.
Holland's Spider-Man: Far From Home co-star Zendaya, who plays Michelle "MJ" Jones in the current Spider-Man film series, was keen on the idea.
For those unfamiliar with Ultimate Spider-Man, the issues Holland is referring to are Ultimate Spider-Man #66 and #67 from 2004. The story was also loosely adapted into an episode of Disney XD's Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon series in 2012.
Issue #66 sees Peter Parker and the powerful mutant Wolverine coming together after a "bizarre occurrence" ties them to each other. The two heroes try to decode the mystery, and all the while their personal lives begin to unravel. Together, #66 and #67 tell a classic Freaky Friday-type body swap tale; or, as Marvel's official description of #67 puts it,
"Wolverine and Spider-Man have always been in each other's faces. Today they're in each other's bodies!"
As Holland explained, Ultimate Spider-Man #66 sees Peter waking up and not recognizing anything in his house. In his hotel room, Wolverine is experiencing the same confusion: he doesn't know who he is and is startled by his appearance. While telling Mary Jane Watson that he really doesn't want to go to school, Peter gets a phone call from Wolverine. Their conversation leads to the big revelation: they've swapped bodies. Peter and Wolverine meet at school, where Wolverine (in Peter's body) is skipping class. When Peter and Wolverine are about to leave, Peter (in Wolverine's body) heads toward a car chase, which leads to an unfortunate event involving an enormous truck.
