Mistaking the cricketer for Tom Holland the actor, many Twitter users started calling for a boycott of Spider Man. The upcoming Spider-Man movie by Tom Holland the actor got massive hate for spreading ‘international propaganda.’

Before we knew it, Spider-man became 'anti-national', part of the ‘toolkit’ controversy and what not.

This incident had many laughing because the actor had nothing to do with this issue.

Netizens who knew the difference between the two were in splits, leading to a bunch of jokes.

Even comedian Vir Das commented on this issue by sarcastically asking if Spider-man is also from JNU.
