    Hunter Doohan is worried about becoming "the Tom Holland of Wednesday"

    The 31-year-old actor - who played coffee shop barista Tyler Galpin in the first season of the Netflix show - referenced the Spider-Man star's habit of accidentally revealing Marvel spoilers during interviews, and admitted he can't wait for the second season of Wednesday to finally come out so he can stop panicking about letting something slip


    Speaking to Women's Wear Daily, he quipped: "I don't want to be the Tom Holland of Wednesday. "I feel like a jerk sometimes in these interviews, I'm like, 'I can't say that. I can't say anything.' "

    Hunter did promise the new season will be "bigger and better" then its predecessor, which hit the streamer in 2023.

    Two years later, the actor revealed he's excited to embrace the supernatural elements of the show, as he had to play his character in a grounded way before he was revealed to be the monstrous Hyde.

    Speaking about season two, he said: "It was really fun to be in the Tim Burton world a bit more because I'm not pretending to be the nice boyfriend barista.

    "So this time I really felt like from the start I was living in the heightened genre of the world the whole time."

    As well as Wednesday, Hunter has been seen in series like Your Honor and Daredevil: Born Again, while he also appeared in episodes of Westworld, What/If and Schooled.

    Next year, after a string of short film roles, he'll make his major big screen debut in Evil Dead Burns.

    Hunter admitted despite a love for acting on screen, growing up in Fort Smith, Arkansas meant chasing his dream didn't feel "realistic".

    He explained: "I never saw film and TV as an option growing up there, even though I loved it.

    "It just truly never even crossed my mind as something I could even try to pursue, whereas theater felt realistic.

    "We had our high school theater and our community theater."
