Tom Holland has played Spider-Man in multiple MCU films over the years and the actor has become synonymous with the character. From his scene-stealing debut inCaptain America: Civil Warto the epicSpider-Man: No Way Home,the character has evolved significantly through his appearances.
Spider-Man had a big role inAvengers: Infinity War, with his introduction being one of the highlights of the film. Holland’s arm hair stands up as his Spidey sense kicks in when Thanos’ minions arrive on Earth. While most believed the scene was achieved through CGI, Marvel surprisingly did it via practical means.
Peter Parker’s Iconic ‘Goosebumps’ Intro inInfinity WarWas Done Practically
After leading his own solo film withSpider-Man: Homecoming,Tom Holland‘s Spider-Man joined the big leagues inAvengers: Infinity War,officially becoming an Avenger. Before joining the fight against Cull Obsidian and Ebony Maw who arrive on Earth to hunt for the Time Stone, Peter senses their arrival as his arm hair stands up. He tells Ned to distract his classmates while he slips out and goes to help Iron Man.

This badass introduction where the character gets goosebumps was believed to be done entirely through CGI. However, The Russo Brothers revealed that it wasn’t the case. The directors revealed that they have been asked many times how they achieved that great shot. They employed an unorthodox practical trick to make the scene happen.
Anthony Russo stated that the scene was achieved by a crew member gently blowing into Holland’s ears off-camera. The brothers said (viaComicBook.com),
“We get asked this all the time. How did we get the hair on Tom Holland’s arm to stand up? In our New York Times ‘Anatomy of This Scene,’ we finally revealed…a lot of people think it’s a CG shot, but it was actually achieved by a very gentle blowing on Tom’s ear.”

The scene itself looked very real and thus the directors’ explanation makes sense (although they might have used a little bit of CGI to further enhance the scene). The unique approach might have made Holland a bit uncomfortable (as they most probably shot the scene a couple of times) but they nevertheless achieved what they wanted for the scene.
