Naomi Watts has revealed she secretly voices Peter Parker's AI assistant, E.V., in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," reuniting her with Tom Holland 12 years after they co-starred in "The Impossible." The reveal, shared via Instagram alongside a photo with director Destin Daniel Cretton, highlights an unusual on-screen arc for the pair: Watts previously played Holland's screen mother in the 2012 tsunami drama, which also marked his live-action acting debut and earned her an Oscar nomination.

The role also reunites Watts with Sadie Sink, having previously worked with both Sink and Brie Larson on Cretton's 2017 film "The Glass Castle." Holland has separately credited Watts with teaching him set etiquette during "The Impossible," calling her performance "masterful." "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has broken box office records, debuting with $360 million domestically and reaching $1 billion globally within six days, making it the second-fastest film ever to hit that milestone.
