As filming begins on MCU’s third instalment of the Spider-Man franchise, cast and crew recently arrived in Atlanta, including Jacob Batalon who plays Peter Parker’s best friend Ned Leeds.
After a recent photo posted by Batalon to his Instagram account, he revealed his impressive weight loss, causing a stir among fans over whether we would see a slimmer Ned in the upcoming Spider-Man 3.
For those unaware, Batalon’s head is either bald or shaven and he wears a wig for his role as Ned Leeds. It should therefore come as no surprise that trend will continue in the next movie. This was confirmed when Batalon dropped a new post this week with the caption “Ned just wanted to stop in to say hi“.
Ned Leeds as stated is Parker’s best friend but also his self-appointed “guy in the chair” who feed information to our web-slinging, friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 3 still has no confirmed title but is planned for release on December 17th 2021.
