Spider-Man star Tom Holland and Hannibal Buress of Broad City feature in a trailer for video game Final Fantasy XIV, which has a new expansion out in July.

The third major update for PlayStation 4, Mac and PC MMO Final Fantasy XIV, Shadowbringers, is arriving July 2, and has Tom Holland and Hannibal Buress on the welcoming committee.

The pair feature in a promo for the game and its expansion, in which Holland puts himself through a training regime in order to become the Warrior of Darkness in Final Fantasy XIV.

"It's not about trying to be the ultimate Final Fantasy master," Buress eventually tells his roommate. "It's what's in here that matters," he says, poking Holland's chest jovially.

Buress and Holland previously worked with each other in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming, in which Buress played Spider-Man's high school gym class teacher.

He co-starred in 2018 comedy Tag with Holland's Avengers colleague Jeremy Renner.

Holland, having featured in April's Avengers: Endgame, has July's Spider-Man: Far From Home coming up.

Future projects also include the December 2020 adaptation of video game treasure-hunting adventure franchise Uncharted.

Buress previously cameoed in Grand Theft Auto V on one of its in-game radio stations and played a supporting character in the career mode of basketball sim NBA 2K17. – AFP Relaxnews
