Washington DC [US], July 31 (ANI): Hollywood star Tom Holland has revealed that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures already have a long-term plan for the future of Spider-Man, including how the iconic superhero will eventually be passed on to another actor, Deadline reported.

Holland, who will reprise the role in the upcoming 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day', said discussions about his eventual departure from the character began after the release of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' in 2021.

Speaking on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast, Holland said, 'There's a whole plan that we have been working on for, I would say, since we finished Spider-Man: No Way Home. It's laid out. It's gonna change for sure, but I have a really clear vision to the passing on of the baton, and I think it's really exciting.'

He added that helping shape Spider-Man's future is one of the things he is most passionate about.

'I know I get really excited when we have these meetings and chat about it. But that is the thing I want to do most in this character, for sure,' he said, as per the outlet.

Holland made his debut as Peter Parker in 2016's 'Captain America: Civil War', officially joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He went on to headline 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' alongside Robert Downey Jr., before reprising the role in 'Avengers: Infinity War', 'Avengers: Endgame', 'Spider-Man: Far From Home', a cameo in 'Venom: Let There Be Carnage', and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Earlier this year, Holland expressed his desire to mentor the next actor to take on the Spider-Man mantle, much like Downey supported him when he entered the MCU.

Holland said in an interview, 'For whoever's next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter,' Deadline reported.

He added, 'Whatever that looks like, I don't know. But if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset.'

In another interview, Holland also suggested Adolescence star Owen Cooper as a potential future Spider-Man.
