Tom Holland will return as Spider-Man, says Kevin Feige

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will return to the big screen, Marvel president Kevin Feige confirmed to Entertainment Weekly this week. When asked about a new Spidey story with Holland, Feige gave an affirmative answer, but with few details.

“All I will say is we have the story,” Feige told the magazine. “We have big ideas for it and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.”

Holland, 26, has played Peter Parker/Spider-Man in six films so far. He appeared in three solo Spidey films, starting with 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and then 2019’s Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. He also played the teenage superhero in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.

This is not entirely shocking. Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal told Fandango in 2021 that Sony Pictures, which owns the film rights to Spider-Man, will continue to work with Holland and Marvel, mentioning a new trilogy of films.

Feige didn’t explain if that’s what he was referring to, or if he was referring to Spidey’s appearance in an Avengers movie. And a year ago, Holland himself was unclear about his future with Spidey.

“We’ve had conversations about the potential future of Spider-Man, but right now, those are conversations,” Holland told EW in response to the new Pascal trilogy. “We don’t know what the future looks like.

CNET’s Jennifer Bissett praised Holland’s “effortless likability” as well as his dramatic acting talents in her review of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
