# New Deepfake Transforms Tom Holland Into Emo Spider-Man

## Spidey Swap

We've already seen convincing deepfakes of [Joe Rogan as Dr. Evil](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/deepfake-dr-evil-joe-rogan>), [Will Smith as Neo](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/deepfake-will-smith-the-matrix>), and [Tom Cruise as Patrick Bateman](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/deepfaked-tom-cruise-american-psycho-sex>).

Now, YouTuber Aldo Jones has taken it upon himself to create a [deepfake](<https://www.cnet.com/news/emo-spider-man-deepfake-replaces-tobey-maguire-with-tom-holland/>) of Spider-Man actor Tom Holland as, well, Spider-Man — more specifically, the 2007 "[emo Spider-Man](<https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/emo-peter-parker>)" played by Tobey Maguire in "Spider-Man 3."

## MCU Throwback

Holland has played the role of Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter-ego in four recent Marvel Cinematic Universe films.

In the newly released deepfake, however, he fills in for Tobey Maguire's interpretation of the character after the symbiote turns him "emo" — complete with vintage swooping bangs and black wardrobe.

## Raimi Memes

The deepfake is well done, though the swap isn't entirely seamless — Holland's mouth fails to match up with Maguire's dialogue at some points, most notably during a phone call with Dr. Curtis Connors about three-and-a-half minutes into the clip.

Still, the clip is another remarkable example of the power of deepfake tech to make something not entirely "real" seem as genuine as emo Spider-Man's love for chocolate chip cookies.
