SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING Star Tom Holland Weighs In On Those BLACK CAT And VENOM Spinoffs
We've learned recently that Sony is developing movies featuring Venom and Black Cat and Silver Sable, but will Spider-Man: Homecoming's Tom Holland be involved? Here's what he had to say about that!
While an argument could be made that we don't really need a Venom movie or one revolving around Black Cat and Silver Sable, there's nothing to say either one of them will be bad. All of those characters have a ton of potential, but the vast majority of fans would much prefer to see them included in the Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel, a movie set firmly within the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Instead, it appears as if Sony is planning on moving forward with adventures featuring these heroes and villains in a world where Spider-Man may not even exist, a baffling and infuriating decision.
When Variety caught up with Tom Holland at CinemaCon to ask if he knows anything about these spinoffs, the actor pretty much gave the answer most of us probably expected to hear. "I have no idea. I haven’t read a script. I haven’t seen any sort of concept art, so that would be something I would decide on when I see material." Well, on the plus side, at least he's open to them!
It's entirely possible Sony will ask him to show up in those despite them having nothing to do with the MCU, but for the time being, Holland is busy with his commitments to that shared universe.
"They all feel like very different movies to me. “Civil War” was such a whirlwind, and I didn’t really know what was going on. I was thrown into the deep end. “Spider-Man” was the best time of my life. I was there with my best friend. We shot in Atlanta. We shot every day and just had an absolute blast. “Avengers” was crazy, because you’re on set every day with actors I never dreamed I would work with. I’m as much a fan as anyone else."
