Tom Holland showed he's got the one quality absolutely required to play Spider-Man - no fear of heights.

The British actor, 20, was spotted fully-suited on top of a very tall building as he continued to film scenes for the new reincarnation of the superhero character in New York City on Friday.

Of course, the rising star was tethered with a safety harness but it still wasn't a feat for the faint of heart.

Tom could be seen on the top of a tall building located on Jamaica Avenue in Queens completely in character in the distinctive red and black suit and mask.

At one point, he struck Spider-Man's familiar crouching pose  as he neared the edge of the building as a sound guy stood a short distance away with a mic boom.

The actor was also spotted wearing his suit under a black coat but without his mask on as he waited between takes on the city street. 

He appeared to be entertaining some of the extras including a young child actor who seemed to be there with his mom.

The youngster beamed with delight as Tom entertained him during the down time.

The long day of filming also included scenes where Tom was also seen in Peter Parker mode.

He was dressed in a brown plaid button down with a blue sweater and dark grey hoodie and a pair of grey corduroy trousers with matching trainers.

He carried a backpack and had earbuds in as he walked looking serious and pensive.

Later, the actor was spotted with members of the crew as he watched the playback of a scene. 

Several secrets surround the movie, and last month multiple sources confirmed to The Wrap that Zendaya Coleman is playing Spider-Man's love interest Mary Jane Watson.

The 19-year-old's character is listed as 'Michelle' on IMDb, although this is believed to be a code name to keep her true role a secret.

Tom has already portrayed Spidey in this year's Captain America: Civil War, and he is rumoured to be reprising the role in 2018's Avengers: Infinity War.

Meanwhile Robert Downey Jr. is slated to appear in Spider-Man: Homecoming as his Marvel character Tony Stark, aka Iron Man.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is being directed by Jon Watts and currently has a release date of July 7, 2017.

Michael Keaton, Jon Favreau, Donald Glover and Logan Marshall-Green are also set to appear in the highly-anticipated movie. 

Details: He sported many layers including a brown plaid button down, a blue sweater and a dark grey jacket. Tom's wardrobe also included a pair of grey corduroy trousers and trainers
