Nerds assemble! Because MCU star and everybody's favorite Spider-Man Tom Holland has announced that he will be hosting a Marvel-themed virtual pub quiz over Instagram next week.
The quiz has been organized by The Brothers Trust, an organization set up by Tom's parents, Nikki and Dom Holland, back in 2017 that aims to "shine a light on charities that are small and where your generous donations can be used to maximum effect."
Speaking with Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week, the Spider-Man star explained the importance behind The Brothers Trust. He said:
"The Brothers Trust is a fundraising vehicle that we use to raise money from the general public that we feed towards charities that we feel need the light and the support. But we felt a little bit uncomfortable asking people for money at this difficult time so we as a collective have been doing the donations.
"The reason why we're doing the pub quiz is to just galvanize people and to give people a sense of community and to kind of bring people and to just have a laugh, and have a good time. That's essentially what we're trying to do."

Holland then revealed that despite plans to stop drinking this weekend (something I'm sure we've all told ourselves), Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds sent him a case of his Aviation American Gin.
"I actually said this weekend that I was going to stop drinking for a week," Holland said, adding: "I was going to have a week off. And then literally Monday morning, Ryan Reynolds sent me a case of gin.
"I was literally like: 'I'm not drinking for the whole week, not drinking at all', and then the doorbell rang and there was a case of gin from the lovely Ryan.
"It says here on the box, it says: 'Some friendly neighborhood spider gin, love Ryan'."
Check out the heroic moment Holland actually saved a fan from an overexcited crowd:

With lockdown in effect, now is the perfect time to swot up and binge all the Marvel movies - from the MCU to X-Men to all three reincarnations of Spider-Man.
The quiz will kick-off on Wednesday at 15:00 EST / 20:00 BST.
