British actor Tom Holland has been the reigning live-action Spider-Man since 2017 and is one of Marvel’s biggest stars ever. But don’t expect to see him as a middle-aged actor in the era after the friendly neighborhood spider, because the now 28-year-old already has Plans for a quiet Hollywood exit.
Don’t worry, the whole thing is still a little in the future. Before that, at least Spider-Man 4 is on the Marvel schedule for Phase 6 in 2026.
Marvel star Tom Holland wants to become a family man after Spider-Man
Fans of Marvel twunk Holland were treated to a star portrait in Men’s Health earlier this year. In addition to several healthy, male muscle pictures, you can find out in the accompanying interview what the likeable-looking actor is like his future after Spider-Man introduces: “When I have children, you won’t see me in films anymore.” Holland puts this condition under the heading “Golf and Dad”. He continues mischievously: “And I’ll just disappear off the face of the earth.”
That shouldn’t be a problem for the actor. He was already able to practice disappearing from the face of the earth as Peter Parker in Avengers: Infinity War when the so-called snap dramatically blew him away. Except that he then has to snipe himself away as dad – at least from the public eye.
Future film projects for which Tom Holland has already been booked outside of his Spider-Man gig include the racing drama American Speed with co-star Austin Butler and the Homer adaptation The Odyssey from Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan.
