It&#8217;s a world filled with elves and unicorns, trolls and dragons, and the story of two brothers who are given a magical quest to find the rest of a spell that will bring their dead father back for a day.<\/p>\n<p>Those two brothers are voiced by Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, and last night, at the <em>Onward<\/em> world premiere, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/chris-pratt-and-tom-holland-want-to-start-an-avengers-cast-dungeons-and-dragons-party\">IGN<\/a> asked Holland if he&#8217;d ever personally played D&amp;D. Holland confessed he hasn&#8217;t, but then revealed that he and Pratt had come up with an excellent idea: Get their Marvel castmates together to play: &#8220;I haven&#8217;t, no, but Chris and I have been talking about setting up an Avengers D&amp;D session,&#8221; he said, &#8220;which would be amazing. We actually want to like film it, because it would be really fun. Not livestream it, because I don&#8217;t do\u2013&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It was at that moment that someone informed Holland that D&amp;D is\u00a0indeed played live and he got anxious thinking about the pressure to get it right: &#8220;It <em>is<\/em> live! Oh ok, I&#8217;m really stressed now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course he is, our sweet cinnamon roll of a human puppy. It&#8217;s alright, Tom, D&amp;D is <em>meant<\/em> to be imperfect; you make the story up as you go along! But the <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/eIp7PYuAu0k?t=343\" data-rel=\"lightbox-video-0\">famously anxious and easily-stressed actor<\/a> also revealed last night that Pratt once talked him off the ledge and comforted him during an upsetting low point of his career: The weekend that he had to appear onstage at D23 right after news broke that <a href=\"https:\/\/atomtickets.com\/movie-news\/spider-man-officially-out-of-the-mcu-sony-disney-fail-to-reach-new-deal\/\">Spider-Man was out of the MCU<\/a>. He and Pratt were both there to promote <em>Onward<\/em> and Pratt calmed him down and got his head back in the game, Holland revealed to Variety:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Tom Holland reveals how Chris Pratt supported him during the Sony and Marvel Spider-Man battle <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/899vcKXOnw\">https:\/\/t.co\/899vcKXOnw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X2rfK7cGjp\">pic.twitter.com\/X2rfK7cGjp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Variety (@Variety) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Variety\/status\/1229960213865697280?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While he credited everyone as being &#8220;really supportive,&#8221; he singled out Pratt for being the one friend to help him right when he needed it most:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Chris and I were standing backstage [at D23] together before we were called out on stage. I was telling him the news and he hadn&#8217;t heard it yet and he was like, &#8216;No, that&#8217;s not gonna happen. That&#8217;s not gonna happen. They&#8217;re going to figure it out and if not, you&#8217;ll be great. You&#8217;ll be fine,&#8217; so it was just really nice to have him in my corner because he&#8217;s something I really look up to and someone I really appreciate and I&#8217;m glad that we&#8217;re good buddies.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But, as we now know, that was the weekend that <a href=\"https:\/\/atomtickets.com\/movie-news\/tom-holland-is-reason-for-spider-man-in-mcu\/\">Holland started working to get Disney and Sony back to the negotiating table<\/a>\u00a0pointing to the outpouring of love and support for Spider-Man from fans and their upset that he would no longer be in the MCU. Do we secretly have Pratt to thank for getting our real-life Peter Parker back on track and determined to work things out?
