Chris Hemsworth seems to have helped his Avengers co-star Tom Holland snag the role of Spider-Man! Well, here's something not many people know about Chris and Tom. The two guys have a history as co-stars before Marvel happened to them!

Tom Holland and Chris Hemsworth worked together on In the Heart of the Sea.

He further continued, “[I] said he’s one of the most talented people I’ve worked with and has such a big heart and appreciation. I don’t know, we have a great friendship, it’s a good mutual respect.” Well, that is mighty sweet of the God of Thunder as now Holland has quite a lot of films in his kitty. While opening up about how he bagged the role of Spider-Man, Holland told IGN, “It was like four days or something like that. I did the first screen test with [Robert Downey Jr.] and the second screen test with Chris [Evans] and then waited about a month, and then found out and flew straight out.” Chris Hemsworth Reacts To Being Demoted From 'Sexiest Man Alive' To 'Just A Sexy Chris' On The Ellen DeGeneres Show
