Spider-Man: No Way Home producer Amy Pascal dropped quite a bombshell yesterday when she confirmed that a new trilogy is in the works with Tom Holland's Peter Parker. Since then, the trades have cast at least a little doubt on how far along those plans are, but it seems the actor has a few weeks of being asked about those movies ahead of him as he does the rounds to promote the threequel.
That started during an appearance on a French talk show yesterday; while Holland does appear to try and reign in fan expectations, it also feels a lot like he's aware of what comes next for the wall-crawler.
"Listen, all I'll say is we have some very, very exciting things to be talking about," the actor laughed. "I don't know what those things are or what they will transpire to mean. But it looks like it's an incredibly bright future ahead, and as I've said before, Spider-Man will forever live in me."
Pascal's timing was strange, though you have to believe a deal is done...well, unless she was attempting to counter Holland's apparent public negotiating tactics when he said he might be finished with Peter Parker. As noted, the actor is likely to get a lot of questions over the weeks to come about these trilogy plans, so we're sure he'll have more to say about his possible future as Spider-Man!
Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in U.S. on December 17 and in the UK on December 15.
