The famous man spoke about how he envisions the future of the Marvel and Sony franchise ahead of the premiere of his fourth film giving life to the arachnid superhero
Looking ahead to the upcoming premiere of the film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day”, actor Tom Holland has opened up about his future within the successful Sony and Marvel franchise, ensuring that he knows the perfect candidate to be his successor.
In an interview given to the Esquire UK portal, the Briton explained that at 30 years old he has already prepared himself to pass the torch to a new actor who will bring the iconic spider superhero to life.
Your perfect candidate? Youth actor Owen Cooper, who this year won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his role in the acclaimed series “Adolescence.”
When asked about the qualities that make him the perfect candidate, Tom Holland indicated: “Owen Cooper would be incredible (…) He is obviously super talented and the topic of everyone's conversation right now,” he said.
Although the fate of “Spider-Man” is not yet written and the adventures he will experience in the film “Brand New Day” still remain to be known, the expectation about who will be the next famous person to bring this superhero to the screen remains at its highest point.
For his part, Tom Holland has already expressed his desire to be part of the next chapter, now as part of the creative team.
“For whoever is next, whether it's a Miles Morales, a Spider-Gwen, a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be part of the creation of the next chapter,” he declared a few months ago to Empire magazine.
Meanwhile, fans are preparing for potential Marvel projects that will see Holland don the iconic “Spider-Man” suit. So far it has not been confirmed whether he will participate in “Avengers: Doomsday” or “Avengers: Secret Wars”, but the expectation remains.
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will premiere on July 29 in Mexico, while in the United States and other countries it will arrive on July 31, 2026.
