1.Who is Dave, the Frog and why does Dave, the Frog have something to do with Tom Holland?

A fan of mine tweeted a picture of me to me saying: “Tom Holland looks 1. up he has a frog in his mouth when he’s 2. making paparazzi pictures.” I thought it was 3. terrible so I reposted the picture which then went 4. wide and everyone 5. founded it hilarious. But then weeks go 6. down and I look at himself in the 7. car and be like: “maybe I do look 8. alike I have a frog in my 9. cheeks.” I think it’s ‘cause I’m 10. intending to go for a chiselled 11. nose kind of look. It’s just not 12. cool.

2.How many Marvel superheroes come together in the Avengers, the Infinity War film?

13.14

3.Are you ever all in one 14. spot?

I don’t know. I did a lot of 15. sequences with Benedict Cumberbatch with someone else with just 16. dolls on their face who, I guess later on in the 17. progress, will become Benedict Cumberbatch. So, I don’t actually know the answer for that.

4.Can you tell us anything about this film?

You may as well ask me about 18. space physics.

5.Are you one of those people who they deliberately don’t say 19. story details to you?

I am, I definitely am.

6.But did you let something 20. say in the past? Why do they think that you’re going to tell anyone?

I just tell everyone! I just wasn’t 21. forbidden to read the 22. lines. You know, I’d be on set, and I’d be working with actors and actresses that were just tennis balls for that day. So, I’d be 23. mailing people like: “Are you in this 24. spot with Spiderman?” And they would be like: “No”. “Okay, I just 25. cut that one off the list of 40 people.” I just basically had to do a lot of background research to 26. fight out.

7.Is it like a superhero WhatsApp group?

No, if there were one, I would not be in it because I spoil every secret. I just did fight scenes by myself 27. reading what would happen.

8.Have you seen this film yet?

No, I haven’t even read it. I have no 28. area what it’s about.
