Tom Holland On His Spider-Man Successor
Tom Holland has played the superhero, Spider-Man, across four films with the upcoming release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. In a recent interview with Esquire UK, he spoke about the future of the character and his ambitions to mentor the next Spider-Man.
Holland suggested that Owen Cooper could fit the bill for Marvel’s next Spider-Man. Cooper is best known for his breakout role in Netflix’s miniseries Adolescence, which saw him win the Emmy, BAFTA and Golden Globe awards, making him the youngest winner across all three award bodies.
“Owen Cooper would be awesome. Obviously, he’s super-talented and the talk of the town right now.”
In the same interview, Holland also spoke of his interests in character development after he passes the mantle, reflecting on the mentoring role Robert Downey Jr. played for him.
“In the way that Robert Downey was such a mentor for me in my first three movies, I would love to be that person for whoever is next.”
Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker, Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned. Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Liza Colón-Zayas and Mark Ruffalo also feature in the film.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers,
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens in cinemas on July 31st.
