And Tom also admits he has only recently started to really enjoying reading a variety of comic books.
He added to Total Film magazine: "I loved TV shows, I loved the films ... and I read a fair few, but I'd never go to the comic-book store and buy comics.

Meanwhile, Tom previously admitted he was "terrified" of his Captain America: Civil War co-star Robert Downey Jr when they first met.
He told BANG Showbiz: "He is so cool. Robert Downey Jr is awesome. I first met him at my first screen test and obviously I thought Robert was terrifying but once I met him, he was down to earth, really cool and easy going.
