Tom Holland has a bit of a reputation for being bad at preserving secrets, especially related to the MCU. He’s so notorious for spilling the beans that, to control the damage, he allegedly “doesn’t get a script” when working on MCU films. The idea is to limit the number of spoilers he has access to in the first place.
Holland’s alleged spoiler revelation didn’t stop at simply not getting a script. During a screening in Los Angeles, he was accused of unintentionally revealing a major plot point in Infinity War. The actor reportedly shouted, “I’m alive!” before the audience had witnessed his character’s fate in the film.
But guess who might be worse at keeping secrets than Tom Holland? It’s none other than Elizabeth Olsen. She might just out-spoil Holland when it comes to spilling the secrets out.
Elizabeth Olsen Out-Spoils Tom Holland in Keeping Secrets
In a chat with LADbible TV, Benedict Cumberbatch and Elizabeth Olsen went head-to-head on internet debates. Things got spicy when Olsen fired at Cumberbatch, “Would you trust Tom Holland with a spoiler?”
Cumberbatch asserted a “Strongly Disagree.” The actress made it clear that off-camera, she’s the go-to person for all your spoiler needs. She said:
“Yes I know that this is a thing that we continue this narrative. However, if anyone wanted to ask me anything not on camera, it takes not a half beat for me to share an entire plot of a film.”
Besides this, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star is firm that he’s Holland’s “babysitter.” Cumberbatch is the secret keeper, preventing the younger actor from accidentally leaking Marvel Cinematic Universe spoilers to the press.

He didn’t hold back when LADbible TV asked Benedict Cumberbatch whether he could trust Tom Holland, the Spider-Man actor, with a spoiler. Cumberbatch’s response? “We’re throwing the guy under the bus a bit.”
He then remarked on Holland’s tendency to come close to revealing spoilers, stating, “I’m beginning to think now he just does it so that I can be seen as a babysitter. Just making wild noises. Yeah, I put my hand over his mouth and all sorts.”
Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland have shared the screen in multiple Marvel Cinematic Universe films, the latest being Spider-Man: No Way Home.
