Bernthal, Holland Boosted Each Other’s Marvel Auditions

Jon Bernthal and Tom Holland, who became the Punisher and Spider-Man in the MCU, supported each other's Marvel auditions while filming the 2017 movie Pilgrimage in Ireland. Bernthal encouraged Holland to perform a backflip for his Spider-Man audition tape, which Holland did, possibly helping him secure the role. The actors filmed each other's audition tapes and spoke highly of one another's dedication and belief in their roles. Both were ultimately cast in the MCU, and their behind-the-scenes camaraderie has become a notable part of their stories. Fans are now hoping for an on-screen MCU crossover between the two. Bernthal is set to return as the Punisher in a Marvel Special Presentation, while Holland will reprise Spider-Man in 'Brand New Day.'
