SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Star Tom Holland Likely To Earn Eight Figures For His Next Marvel Trilogy

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.

That is some good money and I hate to sell myself short, but that is more than I'll make in my lifetime.

So congratulations to him.

@BlackIceJoe - You're not selling yourself short. You're just being realistic. None of us here will see anything close to that amount of money ever.

@BlackIceJoe - Those numbers look low to me, actually. Downey found a way to earn $75mil or something stupid from Endgame. If you're Tom's agent, and you have BOTH Sony and Marvel wanting you for three MORE films, why should your guy be treated like anything less than the new RDJ?

If he doesn't make 9 figures from the next trilogy, he should fire his agent.

@BackwardGalaxy - No one is making RDJ money, period. Not Evans, Hemsworth, ScarJo, no one. RDJ didn't need to be doing Marvel anymore. He has his own production company, he's an older actor and was ready to walk away from Marvel and be content producing smaller movies. Marvel broke the bank to get him back for Civil War through Endgame. RDJ is a business man as much as he's an actor at that point in his career.

Sony and Marvel don't NEED Holland, but they need Spider-Man. Cherry, Chaos Walking, and The Devil All the Time proved Holland isn't the draw outside of Marvel that demands a huge paycheck(yes, the 2 of those were on streaming services but were not hugely seen and in Cherry's case, not well regarded). Sure they'll pay him to lock him in for another trilogy/cameos, but not to the level that they needed Tony Stark for the last movies RDJ was paid for.

Love Tom holland and love mcu Spider-Man, but I still don’t think holland is much of a box office draw on his own, and I don’t see uncharted making a lot of money. Would be happy to be wrong though!

@DenimChicken - very true. And that goes for most MCU stars. Most of their non-MCU films don’t make huge money because they are in it.
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 7:26 AM
@DenimChicken - I guess it depends on how he will be utilized. So far Hollywood (outside of Marvel) seems intent to turn him into the next Tom Cruise. A gritty action hero, a bad boy with a puppy face who looks good looking sad and with bruises on a poster. Honestly I just find this weird. He is not a Tom Cruise. He is a Michael J Fox and that's okay!

@DenimChicken - I would say that’s not his fault. I think these days star plus concept makes money, like world war Z. But you make Brad Pitt into a hitman or something, not going to make it very much. Hercules, low box office. Jumanji, breaks records. No concept puts butts in seats like superheroes. Aquaman annihilated and previously mami’s was no box office draw but GoT made him a star, and aquaman is in the highest concept range. It’s not that the days of the movie star are over, it’s that they better star in some very entertaining movies. Lookin at you, Dolittle
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 7:51 AM
@TheWalkingCuban - I would argue that Stargate Atlantis made him a star, atleast enough to even be considered for GoT, but yeah. :)
TheWalkingCuban
TheWalkingCuban - 12/27/2021, 7:58 AM
@Drace24 - I won’t argue against it, it just took a while for that star to make a high box office movie. Needed the right concept.

Although I can see it be the case that contract talks take place each movie again, I kinda hope the different parties secure a deal for a trilogy.

Also, I wish streamers use that money they can spare to burn on getting more talent in writing in directing departments. It's been a while a streaming project really surprise me (aside from the Disney+ stuff).

Holland to Asa Butterfield:


lel.

Hopefully not. :P

@Doomsday8888 - I KNOW Asa Butterfield kicks himself every time he sees a commercial for No Way Home.

He had the role in his hands bruh, lol
suitekid
suitekid - 12/27/2021, 8:47 AM
@Doomsday8888 - Asa Butterfield was my top choice for Peter Parker and I still think he would have killed it. That said I’m glad he didn’t get the role because then he probably wouldn’t be in Sex Education which he’s fantastic in.

I'd like to see a standalone movie with Holland please. Still within the MCU of course, but no stark, avengers or anything related to other characters and no guest appearences. Just a good old spidey vs one of his own villians like hobgoblin, jackal, kraven and venom of course (green goblin, lizard and dock ock are out on this point i think).
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 12/27/2021, 7:06 AM
@IvanBadski - I do wanna see him take on Kingping next, but with the help of Daredevil. A solo flick afterwards with a Harry/Venom and Kraven would be cool though
Fogs
Fogs - 12/27/2021, 7:08 AM
@bkmeijer - I believe reversed would go better. A simple spidey story which in the end would connect to this more dense gritty story.
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 12/27/2021, 7:14 AM
@Fogs - yeah that could work too. I don't really mind the other, those are just the two stories I wanna see (three if you include Sinister Six)

I don't like Tom tbh. I don't think he's a good Peter and I find him pretty annoying.

@TheManWithoutFear - Annoying Peter/Spider-Man, now That's a perfect cast
TheHumanSpider2

Dont push it, kid, we saw with Tobey how Sony tends to proceed when actors start to ask for too much.
That saying, he should be making $25M per movie at this point, this year proved he is carrying the entire MCU by himself.
On the other hand, if he wants to persue a "serious" career, it might be time to move on...
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 7:49 AM
@TheHumanSpider2 - I mean, I love the movie, too. And him in it. But Tom Holland is absolutely not carrying the MCU by himself. Right now it's still clearly the other way around. A massive reason for why No Way Hiome is such a success is because it's not just Tom Holland in it. Even his previous Marvel movies were alwys about him sharing a stage with other characters played by much bigger actors.

I think he absolutely has potential, but so far, for this level of success, he is still using training wheels.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/27/2021, 7:55 AM
@Drace24 - Who is doing it, then? Angelina Jolie? Brie Larson? the dude from Shang Chi?
NWH is not even a Marvel Studios movie, but Spiderman is carrying the MCU, just look at the BO numbers.
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 8:07 AM
@TheHumanSpider2 - ...Well, not a single person, obviously. The MCU is all of these sub-franchises and their respective creatives both in front and behind the camera. The full scope of the MCU is what sells its individual parts. That's what makes it such a genuis and successfull business model. If there is one irreplacable person who carries it all and without whom it might fall apart, it would be Kevin Feige. Even though I'm sure he would deny that.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/27/2021, 11:24 AM
@Drace24 - RDJ did it for 10 years, then the plan was for Brie Larson...didnt work, then Chadwick...they last him.
Studios need a "poster boy", Wonder Woman was for DC un WW84 shit the bed, I think Aquaman is going to be the new one.

@TheHumanSpider2 - what do you mean? He got his money when he asked for it. If you mean with no Spiderman 4, that's because raimi was taking longer than they wanted.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/27/2021, 1:38 PM
@Origame - Tobey wanted $50M for Spiderman 4.
He actually wanted $50M for Spiderman 3, since Sony refused, he also refused to do basic stuff like getting in shape for the movie, because "my back still hurts" (reason why he got a masive raise for Spiderman 2, when he *almost* got fired if it wasnt for Raimi telling Sony he was leaving the proyect if Tobey was leaving the proyect).
Just recently, Kirsten mentioned she was making a fraction of what Tobey was making.

The main reason why Sony rebooted the franchise was because the movies had become too expensive (rumor is that the budget for Spiderman 3 was close to $500M).

While I think Holland is legit considering not coming back, it stands to reason he is playing hard because he wants a raise, and he deserves it, but knowing Sony, they might just say "[frick] it", and reboot the franchise again...I mean, the story was left in a perfect place to reboot.
Origame
Origame - 12/27/2021, 1:55 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - but again we already know the reason. Raimi even said so themselves. They wanted the movie to be released earlier than it was gonna be able to be released. Money might have been a factor but it wasn't the main factor.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/27/2021, 1:58 PM
@Origame - Sony already hired a writer to start working on the reboot on 2008...
Raimi wanted to make a bigger movie than 3, which would have mean more expensive, Sony never had any intention of making that movie, which makes you wonder why they keep wasting time and money on pre-production for Spiderman 4 when they never had any intentions of making that movie.
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 2:53 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - What the [frick] are you talking about? Noone set up Brie Larson or Chadwick Boseman as a poster boy. Some fans may have wanted a new RDJ, but that was never a necessity or how Marvel thought about it. That's not an actual rule.
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 3:20 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - Let me guess. You read the headline and didn't bother to read the actual article. Feige described that he envisioned Captain Marvel to be "at the forefront of the entire Cinematic Universe." You know... like an Avenger.
That doesn't mean she, or anyone, was ever supposed to carry the entire MCU on their own. Which is what you originally said. That's a made up metric. The whole point of the MCU and the reason why it's so successfull is specifally that it's NOT just one superhero.
TheHumanSpider2
TheHumanSpider2 - 12/27/2021, 3:24 PM
@Drace24 - "at the forefront of the entire Cinematic Universe."

That is literally saying "she is the face of the franchise".
That was the plan, but Brie Larson turned out to be a PR nightmare, and her movie wasnt very good, and now she is a supporting character in her own sequel.
Drace24
Drace24 - 12/27/2021, 3:48 PM
@TheHumanSpider2 - @TheHumanSpider2 - Literally? No. "At the forefront of the entire Cinematic Universe" literally means that and nothing else. That's what the word "literally" means. Not that you can just use to infer a different meaning into a sentence.

Also, if that had been literally the plan, which it literally wasn't, because that is literally against the literal concept of shared universes, then it would literally be way to early to tell if it was a failure, because Captain Marvel literally had only one movie that literally made a billion, which is literally almost twice of what RDJ made in his first MCU movie. And noone... literally NOONE... outside of the usual suspects has a problem with Brie Larson.

"and now she is a supporting character in her own sequel."

Which is totally different from Tom Holland sharing his movie with Andrew Garfield, Tobey Maguire and Benedict Cumberbatch. Or Sam Jackson in the movie before that. Or RDJ in the first one...
