Tom Holland: Spider-Man script is “excellent” but “needs work”

Tom Holland Wants “Spider-Man 4” To Be “Worthy of the Fans’ Respect” – But On His Own Terms

Tom Holland, the actor behind the latest iteration of Spider-Man, is passionate about continuing his journey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). But there’s a catch: he wants the next film, potentially titled “Spider-Man 4”, to be truly great, not just another movie churned out for the sake of it.

In a recent interview on “The Rich Roll Podcast”, Holland revealed that a script for the new Spider-Man film exists and is “excellent”, but still needs work. He even shared the script with his co-star and partner, Zendaya, and their excitement about its potential suggests that it could be a special entry in the franchise. Holland’s main concern seems to be ensuring that the film fits well within the larger MCU timeline and contributes positively to the overall narrative.

Interestingly, Holland’s newfound commitment to quality comes from a place of greater control over his career. He alluded to having completed his initial contract with Marvel and Sony, which means he has more leverage to negotiate and potentially decline projects that don’t align with his vision. This indicates a shift in the power dynamics between actors and studios, particularly for actors who play iconic roles like Spider-Man.

Despite the challenges of finding the right story and navigating his increased influence, Holland expressed a strong desire to continue making Marvel movies, even hinting at “many more” in the future. He has even been discussing the potential for Robert Downey Jr.’s return to the MCU as Doctor Doom with Downey himself, showcasing the collaborative spirit within the franchise.

It appears that fans can expect more of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man in the years to come, but only if the projects meet his standards of quality and respect for the character and the fanbase. This commitment to excellence could set a new precedent for other actors in blockbuster franchises and may lead to more thoughtful and engaging superhero films in the future.
