ATLANTA — Tom Holland is a man of his word.
He promised a little boy who saved his sister from a dog attack in 2020 that the young Spider-Man fan could visit the "Spider-Man: No Way Home" set and he did just that.
Bridger Walker was just 6 years old when he jumped into action to save his 4-year-old sister. The siblings were playing outside their Cheyenne, Wyoming, home when a German shepherd mix charged toward Walker's sister and he intervened. He subsequently underwent a two-hour surgery that required more than 90 stitches, according to his family in a statement to CNN at the time of the July 2020 incident.
