Will Tom Holland Ever Return ForSpider-Man 4?

The development of the upcomingSpider-Man 4film has been delayed due to the writer’s strike last year, but Tom Holland confirmed in the latter part of 2023 that he has been actively engaging with Marvel executives about his possible return. He only has one condition in order for him to reprise the role (viaCollider):

“I feel very protective over Spider-Man. I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy. So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character.”

Still, he is not closing his doors if the opportunity knocks, admitting that he “would be a fool not to put the suit back on again.” Well, it seems like fans have to wait a little longer again as Holland will become much busier in the coming days as he prepares for his stage performance in West End’sRomeo & Juliet.

Meanwhile, theSpider-Mantrilogy is available to stream via Disney+.
