Tom Holland will be returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe via his iconic portrayal of Spider-Man. Kevin Feige, the president of Marvel Studios, says that the company is already working on how it will facilitate Holland’s comeback. Marvel Studios is keeping the specifics of the story under wraps. However, Feige gave some small details in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. He said, “All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.” He did not hint further as to what the future holds for Holland’s Spider-Man.
Because Feige stopped short before he could say what the future of Spider-Man will hold in the MCU, we are unsure if this will include a new solo film. It could also mean a new appearance in one of the highly-anticipated upcoming Avengers solo films. Holland’s last performance as Peter Parker took place in the 2021 film Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film was a box office hit. It grossed $1.9 billion on the global scale. Fans raved over and discussed the film, particularly the inclusion of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield‘s own versions of the character.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man
Film producer, Amy Pascal (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, Spiderman: No Way Home) teased in late 2021 that the film company was in the process of creating another Spider-Man film trilogy staring Tom Holland as Peter Parker. Pascal told Fandango, “This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel – [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie. We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”
Marvel Studios is currently working on Avengers: Secret Wars. The release date is set for May 1, 2026. The 12-issue comic book saga that the film is based on ran through the mid-1980s. The lineup of superheroes included Spider-Man, Captain America, Hawkeye, Captain Marvel, Hulk, Iron Man, and more. The top cast for the film, as currently listed on IMDB, includes Kathryn Newton, Jonathan Majors, Dominique Thorne, Iman Vellani, and more. They’ll star alongside Marvel Cinematic Universe veterans, Chris Hemsworth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Ruffalo, Simu Liu, and Anthony Mackie. The film is still in the early stages of pre-production so there is a potential for the cast list to grow.
