Tom Holland has been acting as the popular MCU character, Spider-Man, for a while now so people are waiting to see if he will be in a potential fourth movie in this role. Tom’s latest Marvel film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, was released in 2021 as a successful hit, and he stated this year that he would still be happy to play Peter Parker. Furthermore, the actor has stated, “I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So the simple answer is yes. I’ll always want to do more.” Of course, there are more complications regarding what Marvel has planned for Peter Parker’s story, but many can be relieved now to hear that Tom Holland still loves his character as much as his fans do. 

However, the actors and Marvel producers/writers have to be careful when approaching another chapter for Peter Parker, ensuring that the third movie’s magic does not go to waste. Tom Holland speaks further about this while stating, “It’s a process where I’m watching and learning. It’s just an entertaining stage for me. Like I said, everyone wants it to happen, but we want to make sure we’re not overdoing the same things”. Although Marvel and Sony have yet to make an official announcement about the fourth film, that doesn’t mean Spider-Man fans are not waiting eagerly in anticipation for what is still to come. Knowing that Spider-Man’s story has not come to a close yet, it is safe to say that there will be more from this character to look forward to in the future so make sure to keep an eye out for it!
