It's clear the role of Peter Parker means a lot to Spider-Man: No Way Home star Tom Holland, but he's talked a lot recently about potentially wrapping up his time as the iconic wall-crawler. The actor is interested in seeing a live-action Miles Morales on the big screen, but it appears Holland has an idea for how he could transition into a new role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
That would involve his Spider-Man serving as a mentor to a new web-slinger, and it sounds like Holland is keen on taking on an Iron Man-like mentor role for characters like Miles Morales or Spider-Woman.
"I love this character more than anything. It's changed my life. I have a relationship with my fans that's so wonderful, I couldn't ask for it to be any better. But I wanna do what's best for the character. If it's time for me to step down and the next person to step up, I'll do so proudly."
"I'd love to see a more diverse Spider-Man universe which would be really exciting. If I could be a part of that, I could be the Iron Man to the next young Spider-Man or Spider-Woman, that would be great. But at the moment, all I have to think about is the character and what's best for Peter Parker."
Olivia Wilde is working on a Spider-Woman movie for Sony Pictures, so it might make the most sense for Peter to serve as a mentor to Miles Morales. While the comic books (and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) saw the teenager suit up as Spidey following Peter's death, Insomniac's video game franchise has made them partners, and that's something fans have really embraced.
Spider-Man: No Way Home arrives in U.S. on December 17 and in the UK on December 15.
