During
the
preparation
of
his
Spider-Man:
Homecoming
role,
Tom
Holland
had
merely
joked
in
front
of
the
Marvel
bosses
about
attending
a
real
American
school
to
understand
the
character
of
Peter
Parker
better.
Marvel
taking
that
joke
on
a
serious
note,
had
sent
Tom
Holland
to
attend
a
real
American
school
for
three
days
to
understand
and
prepare
for
his
role.
However,
Tom
said
he
enjoyed
his
part
being
an
undercover
student
for
three
days
under
the
name
of
Ben
Perkins.
"It
was
a
joke
I
made
to
Marvel
that
I
wanted
to
go
to
a
high
school
undercover
to
experience
what
New
York
high
school
is
really
like.
They
took
it
very
seriously.
I
went
to
school
for
three
days
and
went
undercover.
I
put
on
an
American
accent.
My
name
was
Ben
Perkins." Said
Tom.
"The
problem
is
that
Bronx
School
of
Science
is
for
geniuses.
You
can't
just
join
halfway
through.
You
have
to
go
through
an
extensive
exam
process.
A
lot
of
the
students
were
very
confused
about
why
I
was
there,
and
I
think
a
lot
of
the
teachers
were
too." Tom
added.
"So
the
teachers
kept
testing
me
and
asking
me
questions,
and
believe
me,
I
am
by
no
means
a
scientist.
It
was
fun
and
I
learned
a
lot
about
schools."
Said
the
actor.
