SPIDER-MAN: HOMECOMING (2017): Tom Holland Hopes To Play Hero For “Very Long Time”

Tom Holland Discusses Plans And Hopes For Playing Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Homecoming star Tom Holland says that he wants to keep playing the wallcrawler after his first full movie as the character debuts in theaters.

As the lead of the latest Spider-Man reboot, Holland is the third actor to portray the Marvel Comics legend on the big screen, taking over the role from Andrew Garfield. Garfield, in turn, inherited the role from Tobey Maguire after Sony Pictures first decided to revamp the franchise. When Marvel approached the company about forming a partnership that would see Peter Parker cross paths with the Avengers, however, Sony hit the reset button once again and brought in Holland to take over Garfield’s web-slinging duties. Maguire may have the longest record as the character with three movies under his belt, but if Holland’s ambitious plans are anything to go by, he will have little trouble usurping the Great Gatsby star as the most prolific portrayer of Spidey.

CBR.com, the source of this story, quotes Holland as saying the following about his plans for playing Spider-Man:

“Peter Parker is a character we see [in the comic books] as a 15-year-old boy and then as a 35-year-old man,” the 20 year-old Brit explained in the most recent issue of Empire magazine. “So I have an idea of what I’d like to do, and I’ve pitched it and it’s already been taken into the boardroom. It would be really cool if it pans out, because it means I would be Spider-Man for a very long time.”

**** We hired Reggie, fulfilled our obligations to him, and he quit in the middle of covering two TV series w/ no notice and no explanation. He then ignored our emails asking him to complete his coverage (we had no one else to cover those TV shows). He didn't care. We regret hiring him and we regret putting our trust in him. **** An aspiring writer, longtime film junkie, and former UCLARadio.com disc jockey (where I graduated with a BA in Political Science), I've made the jump from penning book reviews and current events editorials for HonorSociety.org to writing movie and TV news and reviews. When I'm not working towards my certificate in Radio and Television/Video Production at Fullerton College, I enjoy reading (horror, science fiction, and historical/political nonfiction are particular favorites), participating in my school's TV and theatre clubs, attending movie screenings, plays, concerts, and other events, and trying to come up with pithy things to say on social media. Believe it or not, there are occasions where I find time to write for my own leisure.
