UNCHARTED Star Tom Holland Reiterates Plans To Take A Break Before Potentially Returning For SPIDER-MAN 4

Tom Holland still hasn't officially committed to Spider-Man 4 as far as we're aware, and the actor has now reiterated his plans to take a break from acting before any future roles. Read on for details...

During Spider-Man: No Way Home's press tour, Tom Holland made it clear he was unsure about returning for Spider-Man 4. Many wondered if the actor was publicly negotiating for a bigger deal with Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures, and after the success of the threequel, we'd bet on them being willing to pay the actor whatever he likes! 

For now, though, it appears Holland's biggest priority is taking a break after a very busy few years. Despite the pandemic, the actor quickly jumped from Cherry and his previous MCU appearances to shoot Spider-Man: No Way Home and Uncharted back-to-back. Now, with just one final commitment in 2022, he's looking forward to stepping back from acting for a while.

Asked if he plans to go back to the web-slinger's world in the near future, he responded: "I am going back to shoot a TV show for Apple which I'm really excited about. It's a very, very challenging role written by the amazing Akiva Goldsman, and I think the script is some of the best I've ever read."

"I'm really, really excited to do that," Holland continued. "But I can confidently say, after I finish that TV show, I will be taking a break."

While Sony has previously pushed to release a new Spider-Man movie every two years, it's clear we won't be seeing Spider-Man 4 in 2023 at this rate! For starters, Jon Watts is moving on to Fantastic Four, so a decision will be made to either wait (which could see Spidey's next movie pushed even further down the calendar) or to find a new filmmaker. Either way, we're going to have to be patient.

Marvel Studios has previously confirmed that Spider-Man 4 is in active development. An animated series, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, is also coming to Disney+, but it's unknown if Holland will star.

I'd be shocked if Holland comes back to voice Peter in that Freshman Year cartoon. They'll probably get the same guy who voiced Peter in What If?

I care less about the FF than I do Spiderman, so if they do to the FF what they did to Spiderman, completely change the side characters and alter formative events just because they've appeared in previous films, I probably won't care as much.

I mean in the MCU uncle Ben never told Peter "with great power", there are no Osbornes at all, Mary Jane Watson is a completely different person all together named Michelle Jones, and Spidermans entire film arc is reduced to him being Iron Mans protégé trainee until in the final film, where he's just an incompetent idiot for the sake of the plot, forgets every lesson he learned in previous films just to erase himself from the world.

So pretty much nothing like the character we know.

If they do that to the Fantastic Four... it better be good.

That's fine - I think a break from Spider-Man would be good

@tmp3 - I've never seen one thing he did that I liked.

Side note: I just watched In the Mood for Love last night, having never seen it. What a picture!

You know, now seems like the perfect opportunity to go with a new actor to portray a more mature Peter. Can still be mcu Peter, but it could work having a new face here.

Shame since I think he's the best take on the character in live action so far, but he deserves a break.

Hopefully, we'll see more great stories with him before long.

That's what Evans said and his handlers said

You are 26, dude.
You dont have the luxury of "taking a break" with Spiderman, unless they are going in a completely different direction with the next movies, but Sony has showed in the past they preffer to rush reboots instead of waiting.

Still, I think he is just playing "hard to get", and after Uncharted bombs, he will be begging to wear the underoos again...

Good on him. He’s been doing great these last few years, and he’s earned a break.

I’m cool w this. Give him a break, and then he can properly portray a more grown up Spidey in his second trilogy.
