The Spider-Man reboot is coming to theaters this July, and lead actor Tom Holland shared how his on-screen best friend helped him with his new Spidey suit. Meanwhile, there might be more to the film's villain than just being the bad guy.

Directed by Jon Watts, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" features Holland's Peter Parker trying to balance school life with his new found superhero career. He will be mentored by Iron Man, also known as Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), in trying to master his Spidey skills and in owning up to being a hero in the film.

Aside from that, Peter Parker will be getting a new and advanced Spidey suit from Tony Stark, but Holland shared that his best friend on the film — Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) — played a big role in maximizing the suit.

At the 2017 Consumer Electronics Show, Holland said, "My mentor is Tony Stark. ... He builds me a high-tech new suit which is just filled with awesome gadgets. Let me just stress that it didn't stretch my acting abilities to be confused by it. Luckily enough, my best friend in the movie, Ned Leeds, is a complete gamer. And using the Dell Inspiron 15 we were able to tap into the suit and find out some of its cool new exciting features."

Meanwhile, the big bad in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" will be Vulture (Michael Keaton), but it seems that there will be more to Keaton's character than him wanting to wreak havoc.

During an interview with Variety, Keaton shared that he finds the character Vulture really interesting to portray and that sometimes he's more than just a character.

"He's a really interesting — and more interesting than I thought — villain because there's parts of him that you go, 'You know what? I might see his point,'" Keaton added.

"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is slated to premiere on July 7.
