Tom Holland is currently promoting the upcoming Spider-Man sequel, Spider-Man: Far From Home, which will close out the third phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The actor stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday when he was mobbed by excited fans as well as aggressive autograph hunters, aka graphers. When the autograph hunters rushed forward, one of Tom Holland’s fans, Cassidy Ariel, was pushed up against a barricade by the men, resulting in the Spider-Man star stepping in.
