Asa Butterfield Reflects on His Spider-Man Audition

I have all the respect in the world for actors who put it all on the line time and time again to score a role. When you put yourself out there that frequently, you’re bound to run into some disappointment, especially when there are highly sought-after roles in the mix. That was the case for Asa Butterfield when it came to auditioning for the role of Peter Parker in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We’ve got an extended interview with Butterfield coming your way next week to celebrate his phenomenal Netflix series Sex Education, but as we do with all installments of Collider Connected, we reflect on the journey that brought that filmmaker to their latest achievement and in Butterfield’s case, that meant discussing the bump in the road with Spider-Man.

You might remember that back in 2015, we got a shortlist of the young actors in contention to play Spider-Man in the MCU. At the time, Butterfield was considered the frontrunner but clearly things didn’t wind up panning out and Tom Holland snagged the role instead. While it must have been a major bummer at the time, losing the role came with a pretty significant upside for Butterfield. Check out what he said in this clip!
