A couple weeks ago, another one of those deepfakes went viral and this time it featured Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr replacing the faces of Marty McFly and Doc Brown in Back to The Future. It's pretty incredible creepy too. The video instantly went viral, racking up over 5.5 million views. But it also got fans talking about whether the deepfake should inspire an actual remake featuring the actors.
But in the spirit of the viral deepfake, Tom Holland does have an idea that might make everyone happy. In his words: `If Downey and I could just shoot that one scene that they remade for fun, he could pay for it because he's got loads of money, I would do it for my fee and we could remake that scene. I think we owe it to deepfake because they did such a good job... yeah, I think I'm going to speak to Robert and see if we can try to recreate something for deepfake.`
Tom Holland is totally into recreating a scene from Back to the Future since he enjoyed the video so much. He and Robert Downey Jr are pretty tight. They've worked together a lot since Spider-Man's introduction in Captain America: Civil War in 2016 and most recently in Dolittle. As Holland told BBC Radio 1, he's going to talk to RDJ about it and see what they can come up with.
