Tom Holland has shared some big news for Marvel fans. The actor, who has played Spider-Man in the MCU for nearly a decade, has revealed that he is ready to help bring in the next generation of Spider-Man characters. He wants to play a supporting role in introducing whoever takes over the beloved role — just like Robert Downey Jr once did for him.
Holland Wants to Be the Next Mentor
In a recent interview with Variety, Holland spoke openly about the future of the Spider-Man franchise. He said he would love to help set up the next chapter, whether that involves Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman, or any other new character Marvel decides to introduce.
“For whoever’s next, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter,” Holland said. “If I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset.”
Holland was referring to how Robert Downey Jr’s Tony Stark introduced Peter Parker to the MCU in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War. That mentor-student bond lasted until Stark’s emotional death in Avengers: Endgame in 2019. Downey is now set to return to the MCU as the villain Dr Doom in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday.

Spider-Man’s Record-Breaking Journey
Since his debut, Tom Holland has become one of the biggest stars in the Marvel universe. His first solo film Spider-Man: Homecoming earned USD880 million worldwide in 2017. Spider-Man: Far From Home crossed USD1.1 billion globally in 2019. Then came Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, which became a massive hit earning USD1.9 billion worldwide — one of the highest-grossing films ever made.
