Get your spandex suits ready, because Tom Holland is crawling back into the Marvel Cinematic Universe for a brand-new Spider-Man adventure! The 28-year-old web-slinger isn’t just returning—he’s teasing many more movies. Yes, you heard that right. It looks like we’re going to be catching Peter Parker dodging villains and high school reunions well into his 40s at this rate.
So what’s the scoop? Well, Tom recently gave us a bite of juicy info on Rich Roll’s podcast. He just got his hands on the script for the new movie, and spoiler alert: He loved it so much that he and Zendaya ended up bouncing around the living room like caffeinated toddlers. Yep, this man is that excited. Apparently, Zendaya’s MJ now doubles as an expert script critic—who knew?
Suiting Up or Shutting Down?
Tom isn’t just doing movies for the heck of it. Nah, Spider-Man ain’t gonna be out here webbing things up without a purpose. “I don’t want to make a movie just for the sake of making it,” Tom said with the seriousness of a guy picking between two pizza toppings. “I want to make many more. But I want them to actually matter.” You know, meaningful superhero content—like swinging between buildings while delivering heartfelt monologues.
Big Gratitude, Bigger Pressure
Tom got sentimental for a sec, saying he feels a huge sense of responsibility to the fans. (Aww, our boy’s grown up.) “I owe it to them to make the best version of what’s next,” he gushed, probably while heroically sipping a cup of tea. And here’s the kicker: Marvel is fully on board with his creative vision. Yup, the studio is basically handing Tom the keys to the Spider-mobile and saying, “Go nuts.”
When’s This Bad Boy Dropping?
Tom’s itching to get those web-shooters back on ASAP, but there are still some “moving pieces.” Translation: Someone at Marvel probably lost the Wi-Fi password again. “We have a pitch, a draft, and an idea,” Tom said. “It’s good. Really good. It just needs some work.” Fun fact: that’s exactly what every college student says the night before a deadline.
Spidey Script Sparks Joy
Tom practically lit up when he talked about reading the script. “It really lit a fire in me,” he said—though hopefully not literally, because we need this movie without pyrotechnics mishaps. And get this: he and Zendaya not only read the thing together, but they also jumped around like excited kangaroos in their living room. “It feels like a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect,” Tom added. Respect. Spidey demands it.
What’s the Hold-Up?
So, what’s next? A little tinkering, a lot of brainstorming, and probably some intense Spider-squats to get back into superhero shape. “There’s a few things we still need to figure out,” Tom admitted. Sounds like someone’s making sure the web-fluid formula is just right this time.
Tom Holland’s back, and he’s coming in hot with some serious plans for Spidey’s future. If you thought Peter Parker’s only challenges were supervillains, think again—because nothing’s scarier than negotiating a Marvel contract.
