When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
- For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
- For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

Goddamn he still looks 17
Which is why he still gets a pass, because Spider-Man is supposed to be a kid
Peter Parker does grow up eventually in the comics.
Not if Joe Quesada has anything to say about it.
Remember that he got snapped for 5 years
He's a kid for a few years. He's in college by the time Marvel decides they need to have a more flexible timeline in the mid sixties.
Debateably you could call college students "kids", but only in the same way a grumpy old man calls anyone younger than him a kid.
Most of his existence he's been an adult.
Shouldn’t you be comparing 18yrs old to 26yrs old? Holland started playing Spider-Man when he was 18yrs old, people age, just as McGuire did.
When I saw Tom Holland my immediate thought was that he looked exactly like Toby, especially as the two costumes are now VERY similar.
I still think of Tom Holland as young, so I was surprised to learn he is older than Toby was when he donned the same outfit.
Ah, I think that’s 100% what they are going for. Both of these people will be around the same point in their age story wise, granted one has about 4 more years of story experience.
These 3 actually looked surreal for their ages. Spider-man fans always eating good.
TIL those are separate actors.
It's a brand new day, And the sun is high
All the birds are singin' that you're gonna die
How I hesitated, now I wonder why
Officially revealed? Or another Holland surprise reveal?
