Tom Holland has confirmed that he is definitely returning for a fourth instalment in his run of Spider-Man films.
The actor has portrayed the superhero in three lead entries in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date (2017’s Homecoming, 2019’s Far From Home and 2021’s No Way Home), as well as appearing in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
And now, during an appearance at the Sands International Film Festival in St. Andrews, Scotland, Holland has said that he will be returning in the next MCU Spider-Man movie.
“The simple answer is that I’ll always want to do Spider-Man films,” Holland said. “I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So the simple answer is yes. I’ll always want to do more.”
“We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be. But until we’ve cracked it, we have a legacy to protect. The third movie was so special in so many ways that we need to make sure we do the right thing.”
“This is the first time in this process that I’ve been part of the creative so early. It’s just a process where I’m watching and learning. It’s just a really fun stage for me. Like I said, everyone wants it to happen. But we want to make sure we’re not overdoing the same things,” he added.
Director Sam Raimi recently addressed rumours that he might be connected to the upcoming film, stating that he had not heard anything official from Marvel about the project.
In other Tom Holland news, tickets for his new stage adaptation of Romeo & Juliet recently went on sale and were quickly snatched up. The show was announced in February, and is presented by The Jamie Lloyd Company, running from May 11 to August 3 at the Duke Of York’s Theatre in London.
Tickets for the twelve-week run totally sold out in under two hours, and the production will reportedly be transferring to Broadway after its London run finishes.
This follows the announcement of the rest of the cast, which includes newcomer Francesca Amewudah-Rivers as Juliet, and Doctor Who’s Freema Agyeman as Nurse.
Following the announcement of the cast, The Jamie Lloyd Company made a statement condemning the “barrage of deplorable racial abuse online directed towards a member of our company.”
They continued: “This must stop. We are working with a remarkable group of artists. We insist that they are free to create work without facing online harassment.”
“Any abuse will not be tolerated and will be reported. Bullying and harassment have no place online, in our industry or in our wider communities,” the theatre company wrote.
