Spider-Man: No Way Home has been a huge box office hit, not to mention the best-reviewed movie of 2021 (earning it some well-deserved Oscar buzz). While franchise producer Amy Pascal has confirmed that a new trilogy is in development, Tom Holland - who hinted during the threequel's press tour that he might be ready to walk away from Peter Parker - has now clarified where he stands.
"We've had conversations about the potential future of Spider-Man, but at the moment they are conversations," Holland tells Entertainment Weekly. "We don't know what the future looks like."
Acknowledging that Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige and Sony Pictures Chairman Tom Rothman are "thinking of something" with Pascal, Holland claims that "at this moment I don't know what that is" before adding he's "not really thinking about the future." The actor concluded by saying, "I'm still riding the wave of the success of the film and enjoying that."
Last December, Rothman confirmed that Benedict Cumberbatch's presence in Spider-Man: No Way Home means Sony is "committed" to "one more lend back" with the web-slinger. Many fans believe this means we'll see Tobey Maguire's web-slinger in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but with Holland continuing to play coy, it's becoming increasingly difficult to predict the future.
There have to be some big plans for Spider-Man after this latest movie's unprecedented success, so here's hoping Holland is either looking to maintain the surprise or simply hoping to negotiate a major new deal.
What do you hope the future holds in store for the MCU's webbed wonder?
