After the 2021 smash hit Spider-Man: No Way Home, which weaved together two decades of Spider-Man films, many have wondered what would be next for the friendly neighborhood web-slinger. After SONY’s continued attempts at making their own shared universe with Spider-Man-adjacent films like Venom, Morbius, Madame Web, and Kraven the Hunter, some wonder if Holland would ever return.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Sony and Marvel were at odds regarding the creative direction of the Spider-Man films going forward due to their partnership with the character. Sony wanted another multiverse-level adventure, while Marvel wanted a more grounded film.
Now it seems that things are coming together as actor Tom Holland recently did an interview discussing the progress on Spider-Man.
He says that he was given an early script and that they hope to give fans something that they want. He said:
“We have a creative and a pitch and a draft which is excellent. It needs work but the writers are doing a great job and I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were like bouncing around the living room. Like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect, but there are a few things we need to figure out before we can get that really going. But it’s exciting and I’m really, really excited about it.“
“I think that’s really important and I think the creative integrity for something like that is really important. And the studio is on board and supportive and really collaborative, and I’ve been so blown away by how welcoming they’ve been into that creative room, but we’re working now with the pedal to the metal. We’re trying to get it going as soon as possible. Things are looking great but there’s still a lot of moving pieces that need to come together for us to hit the ground running.“
Hopefully, if/when we do see him wearing those blue and red tights again, fans will appreciate it. It might be after the whole Avengers: Secret Wars event, but only time will tell how things progress.
What do you think? Do you want to see Tom Holland return as Spider-Man in a more grounded way against a villain like Hobgoblin? Or should it be another giant multiverse battle? Let us know your thoughts.
