At FanX, Tom Holland talks about being Spider-Man, but steps around the Disney-Sony dispute

“The hardest thing about playing this is walking on the set knowing that, whatever you do, is going to be seen by millions of people,” the 23-year-old English actor told some 5,000 cheering, screaming fans Saturday at the FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention at the Salt Palace Convention Center.

For 35 minutes, Holland praised the Salt Lake City fans he has met — “everybody has been so cool” — and talked about playing the Marvel Comics superhero and dealing with fame.

But he skirted even the mildest controversy, like when moderator Kerry Jackson, co-host of X96’s “Radio from Hell” show, asked which Chris was his favorite — referring to co-stars Evans, Hemsworth and Pratt.
