Spider-Man Star Tom Holland to Take Acting Break After Busy Decade

As of August 2025, Tom Holland, the 27-year-old actor known for his role as Spider-Man, is gearing up for a busy couple of years in Hollywood. After taking a break from acting for the past two years, Holland is set to star in two of the most anticipated movies of 2026: Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and the new "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" film.

However, despite his upcoming projects, Holland is already planning to take another acting break in 2027. The actor, who has been in the industry since he was 16, has decided to prioritize his mental health and work-life balance after a decade of non-stop work. Holland has expressed his desire to "reset" and avoid burning out, a sentiment that many can appreciate.

In the meantime, fans can look forward to seeing Holland in his upcoming roles. The actor is set to play Odysseus' son Telemachus in Nolan's epic film, which boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, and Zendaya. Additionally, Holland will reprise his iconic role as Spider-Man in "Brand New Day," which will also feature the return of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner.
