Actor Tom Holland has sparked speculation about his future in the Spider-Man franchise after hinting at passing on the role to another actor. Speaking to Sky News, Holland expressed his desire to be a part of setting up the next chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
'I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter,' Holland said, sparking widespread speculation about his future in the role. The actor, who has played Spider-Man in three films, has been a key part of the franchise since his debut in 2016's 'Captain America: Civil War'.
Holland's comments come as the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to expand, with several new projects in the works. The actor's departure from the role would mark a significant shift for the franchise, which has been a major box office success thanks in large part to Holland's portrayal of the web-slinging superhero.
While Holland has not confirmed his departure from the role, his comments have sparked speculation among fans and industry insiders. The actor's contract with Marvel is set to expire in 2023, although it is unclear whether he will continue in the role beyond that point.
Holland's comments have also raised questions about who could potentially replace him in the role. Several actors have been linked to the part, including Timothée Chalamet and Ansel Elgort. However, at this stage, no official announcement has been made about a new Spider-Man actor.
