Tom Hollandis down for anotherSpider-Manmovie if the story is satisfactory.
According toCollider, during a recent press conference with the Critics Choice Association, the actor, 27, spoke to the ongoing development of a sequel to 2021’s blockbusterSpider-Man: No Way Home.
“All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character,” Holland said, per Collider. “Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing.”
“I feel very protective over Spider-Man,” he added. “I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy.”
“So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character,” saidThe Crowded Roomstar.

No Way Homesaw Holland’s Peter Parker team up withTobey MaguireandAndrew Garfield’s past iterations of the character for a multiverse-infused storyline that ended with Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) erasing Holland’s character from everyone’s memory. That includedZendaya’s MJ, just after she and Peter began dating at the end of 2019’sFar From Home.
“But that said, if we can figure that out, I would be a fool not to put the suit back on again because I owe everything to Spider-Man,” Holland added.
He debuted as Peter Parker in 2016’sCaptain America: Civil War. “I love the character and the people I get to work with. So I would love to tell another story, but I’ll only tell it if we can find the right one.”

Producer Pascal, 65, said in May that the writers' strike — which kept all writing on major Hollywood productions paused for 148 days this year — caused development on the next entry in Holland’s series to stall. The strike ended Sept. 27, allowing screenwriters to resume work.
“Are we going to make another movie? Of course, we are,” shetoldVarietyat the time. “We’re in the process, but the writers strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”
