LOS ANGELES - Californer -- FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION: Young hero invited to join iPOP Alum Jacob Batalon and Tom Holland in Spider-Man 3
iPOP Alumni Jacob Batalon may soon be welcoming an unexpected new star to the Spider-Man cast. After six-year-old Bridger Walker saved his younger sisters life, the real-life hero received some incredible surprises from the MCU world.
When a dog charged towards Bridger and his sister, he made the ultimate sacrifice of stepping in front of her and receiving the brunt of the attack. When asked byhis aunt why he made that choice, Bridger said this, "If someone had to die I thought it should be me." It was those selfless words and actions that led to an outpour of support from the Avengers and MCU cast. Word eventually made way to Bridger's favorite superhero Spider-man. Actor Tom Holland, who plays the web-slinging star, invited Bridger to join him and cast members Jacob Batalon and Zendaya in the next film once production begins.
