For the third time in under 15 years, a newSpider-Manwas introduced to big-screen audiences, withTom Hollandfollowing inTobey MaguireandAndrew Garfield’s footsteps inCaptain America: Civil War. Marvel Studios presidentKevin Feigehas previously teased that he has “big plans” forSpider-Manin the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which certainly seems to be true, now thatTom Hollandhas revealed he has signed on for six Marvel movies. Here’s what the young actor had to say in a new interview below.
“They give you options, and those could be exercised whenever. Like a cameo in Avengers. I’m unclear as to which movies, though. I do know I have threeSpider-Man moviesand three solo movies contracted. But if you have another movie, Marvel is so good at working around it. They’re very respectful of your life, really. They understand that you have to work on other movies, and they try and fix it up so you’re able to work around each other.”
Just a few weeks ago,Tom Hollandteased that he may or may not appear inAvengers: Infinity War, which starts shooting in January. The young actor says he thinks a deal is “in the mix,” but he’s not sure what will be a part of said deal. During this new interview withThe Hollywood Reporter,Tom Hollandalso spoke about how he learned about winning the Peter Parker role through social media.
“I was in my bed scrolling through Instagram. It had been about a month since my audition. And Marvel just posted a photo saying go to our website and find out who the next Spider-Man is. I went on the Marvel website on my computer and there it was: The new Spider-Man isTom Holland. I went ballistic, like absolutely nuts.”
There had been rumors thatSpider-Man: Homecomingkicks off anew trilogy, which would represent the “solo movies,” but we’re not sure what the “Spider-Manmovies,” which are likely just moviesSpider-Manappears in, will be. It was rumored thatSpider-Man: Homecomingand each of its sequels will represent one year of high school apiece, following his entire high school career. Stay tuned for more onSpider-Man: Homecomingas we get closer to the August 16, 2025 release date.
