As the World Cup action heats up, football superstar Lionel Messi has made a surprising crossover appearance in a promotional ad for the upcoming movie “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” In the ad, Messi is carried and swung through the skyscrapers of New York by Spider-Man, played by Tom Holland. The football legend looks genuinely terrified, screaming mid-air, with his panicked expressions convincing fans everywhere and setting off a global buzz across social media.
On the night of June 30, Sony Pictures unexpectedly released the latest promotional clip for “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” thrilling movie lovers and football fans worldwide. In the scene, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker is seen leisurely chatting with friends at a New York café, when Messi suddenly makes an appearance. Peter is so shocked he almost falls over, nervously asking, “Are you Messi?” To which Messi calmly replies in his familiar Spanish, “Si (Yes).”

In fact, 30-year-old Tom Holland has publicly stated many times before that he’s a huge Messi fan. The two first met at the 2021 Ballon d’Or ceremony, with widely shared footage online showing Holland’s excitement as he shook Messi’s hand. This latest promo release comes just before Argentina faces Cape Verde, perfectly connecting football and movie fans. The spot also made Tom Holland’s dream come true – once again sharing the spotlight with his idol. #
