Tom Holland was a far cry from being a household name when he signed up to play Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but thanks to his role as Peter Parker, that's obviously changed in a significant way. As well as appearing in three Marvel Studios ensembles as the web-slinger, the actor has starred in an incredibly lucrative solo trilogy (two of those movies have grossed over $1 billion at the global box office).
Now, all eyes are on what Holland does next, especially after numerous interviews in which he's suggested that his time as this iconic Marvel Comics character will end with Spider-Man: No Way Home.
According to Variety, Holland doesn't currently benefit from the lucrative backend deals that are tied to these movies hitting certain box office benchmarks. That looks set to change moving forward, though, and sources familiar with similar negotiations believe he'll be earning an amount somewhere in the low eight-figures for his next Spider-Man movie (rumour has it he was paid $4 million for this one).
Elsewhere, he's probably going to be looking at $2 million - $5 million for independent movies and anywhere from $5 million - $10 million for standard blockbusters. Holland is currently most valuable as Spider-Man, and Uncharted will be a big test of how much of a box office draw he is without Marvel.
It's also mentioned in this report that "Holland was recently considered for an ensemble part in an A-list director’s latest film. And though the deal didn’t close, he could have secured $1 million for a small part in a tentpole film. At streamers, which have more money to burn, Holland’s paycheck could swing to $20 million or more."
The future certainly looks bright for Holland both as Spider-Man and beyond, and it promises to be an interesting, exciting few years for the actor. Fingers crossed for a Spider-Man 4 announcement soon.
