For the unversed, Holland made his first appearance as Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. In the following year, his solo MCU film ‘Homecoming’ came out. During the promotion of that film, the actor expressed his feelings for his co-star.
In 2017, in an interview with the British GQ, Tom Holland was asked if he could pick any love interest from the Marvel universe for Spider-Man, who would it be. After a momentary pause, Holland answered ‘Scarlet Witch’, which Elizabeth Olsen portrayed in the MCU.
Tom Holland said, “I think Scarlet Witch is pretty hot, you know? I think Elizabeth Olsen is super hot.” He further mentioned how Olsen was nice to him during the movie premiere. He added, “And really nice as well. She was really nice to me at the premiere. So yeah, probably Scarlet Witch.”
A few years after that confession, Tom Holland in an interview with Collider expressed how he was obsessed with Elizabeth Olsen’s WandaVision based on her character Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. He said, “I am obsessed with WandaVision. It’s so difficult because obviously, I’m on a Marvel set at the moment. So all of the producers are there, and I could just go up to Kevin Feige and be like, ‘So what happens? What’s going on?’ It’s really difficult for me to not ask the questions I want the answers to, but I’m loving it.”
Holland even went on to say that it’s his favourite ‘Marvel thing’. “And I think, honestly, it’s for me, my favourite Marvel thing I’ve seen… So I’m loving it. I’m absolutely loving it.”
