Will There Be Another Spider-man Movie? Tom Holland Says Yes, Then Maybe Not

Tom Holland says Spider-Man will not stay with him forever, and he says the handoff to another actor is already being planned. The next film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, will be one more time in the suit for him, but he also says the long-term path has been mapped out well before that return.

That is why search interest around Will There Be Another Spider-man Movie is sharp now. Holland is not talking like someone ending the role tomorrow; he is talking like someone who already knows the exit route. He said the plan for passing Spider-Man to another actor has been in motion since Spider-Man: No Way Home was finished, which puts this conversation in the present, not some distant future.

He also framed the idea as more than a vague studio discussion. Holland said he has a really clear vision for passing the baton, and he sounded more excited than guarded about the process. He said he would love to help set up the next chapter for whoever comes after him, and he named Owen Cooper as a possible successor. In his telling, the goal is not just to leave the role, but to leave it in a way that helps the next Spider-Man get started.

There is still a catch, and Holland did not hide it. He said the plan is laid out, but it is going to change for sure. That leaves the biggest question unresolved: the broad shape of the transition may already exist, but the actual person and the exact timing do not. Holland said only that he knows he wants to do this part of the job most, and that if he could do for the next Spider-Man what Robert Downey Jr. did for him, he would be content swinging off into the sunset.

Holland put that future in the context of a role that has already stretched across several projects. His Spider-Man first appeared in 2016's Captain America: Civil War, then carried into Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017, Avengers: Infinity War in 2018, Avengers: Endgame in 2019, Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019, Venom: Let There Be Carnage in 2021 and Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. He said the character now exists across several Spider-Man mediums, pointing to Spider-Noir, his own version and Sony's animated Spider-Man movies, which he called the best Spider-Man movies ever made.

So the answer to whether there will be another Spider-Man movie is yes, and the answer to whether Holland will stay in the role forever is no. What remains open is whether the next handoff will go to Miles Morales, Spider-Gwen, Spider-Woman or someone else entirely. Holland says the roadmap exists. The identity of the person who walks through it is still the part the audience does not know yet.
