28 Jul
Summary
- Tom Holland wishes to continue playing Spider-Man indefinitely.
- He feels a strong sense of family with Marvel and Sony collaborators.
- Holland aims to pass the iconic superhero role to another actor someday.
Tom Holland, currently promoting "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," has indicated he has no immediate plans to leave the superhero role. He stated his intention to continue as Spider-Man as long as Marvel, Sony, and fans desire his presence.
Holland described his working relationships with Marvel and Sony as familial, highlighting a decade of collaboration and shared passion for the character. He finds the ongoing experience magical and profoundly grateful.
However, Holland also revealed his long-term ambition to eventually pass the Spider-Man mantle to someone else. He admitted to having previously made statements about retiring from the role after age 30, but has since reconsidered, now suggesting a potential retirement around age 37.
He noted that discussions about the future of the character and the potential for him to "pass the baton" are frequent topics with the studio. Holland humorously suggested that his recent contract negotiations might have been a strategic move to create anticipation regarding his future involvement.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day," featuring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Mark Ruffalo, Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, and Tramell Tillman, is set to release in UK cinemas on Wednesday and U.S. cinemas on Friday.
