Los Angeles: Hollywood star Tom Holland said he wants to help set up the next chapter of the 'Spider-Man' franchise and he hopes that he can do for a future successor what Robert Downey Jr did for him.
The 29-year-old British actor first played Peter Parker in 2016's 'Captain America: Civil War', before reprising the role in three standalone films as well as several 'Marvel Cinematic Universe' (MCU) titles such as 'Avengers: Infinity War' and 'Avengers: Endgame'.
Holland said he has often thought about eventually handing over the mantle to another character from the 'Spider-Man' universe, such as Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman or someone else from the web-slinging family.
"For whoever's next... I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter. Whatever that looks like, I don't know," he told 'Empire' magazine.
"But, if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset," he added, referring to Downey Jr's role of Tony Stark aka Iron Man, who served as a mentor figure to Holland's Peter Parker in 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' in 2017.
Holland is the third actor to play Peter Parker on the big screen after Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, both of whom appeared alongside him in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' in 2021. He is now gearing up for his fourth solo outing, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day'. The movie, which picks up after 'No Way Home' with Peter Parker navigating a world where no one remembers his identity, is set for release on July 31.
