Tom Holland, while continuing to actively portray Spider-Man, is already thinking about the future of the franchise. In a recent interview with Esquire UK, he shared that if the time ever comes to pass the torch, he would gladly help guide the next actor on the path related to this iconic Marvel role, and he already has a candidate in mind.
«Owen Cooper would be a great choice», - Holland said in the interview. «He's definitely very talented and is currently in the spotlight».
Considering that Holland has already established himself as someone who accidentally reveals Marvel secrets, his comment quickly caught the attention of fans and sparked speculation about whether he was hinting at the future of Spider-Man. Cooper’s star is rapidly rising following his breakout role in the Netflix series «Teens», - making him one of the most talked-about young actors in Hollywood.
Although plans for a new Spider-Man have not yet been announced, Holland expressed his thoughts on Cooper and what that could mean for the future of the Marvel franchise.
The actor also noted that he would like to remain involved in the project behind the scenes, although he acknowledged that getting a producer credit on future Spider-Man films might be challenging.
Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have yet to announce who will ultimately succeed Holland in the role of Spider-Man, and Holland himself is still attached to the role. However, while discussing the future of the franchise, the actor highlighted Cooper as a young performer who, in his opinion, could successfully take on the role of the web-slinger.
Holland’s comments came in the context of reflections on the next generation of actors and his desire to mentor the future Spider-Man. «Just as Robert Downey Jr. was a mentor to me in my first three films, I would like to be that person for whoever is next», - Holland said.
Cooper is a 16-year-old British actor who gained fame for his role as Jamie Miller in the Netflix series «Teens».
Since then, Cooper has earned an impressive list of awards, including an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA TV Award, and a Critics' Choice Award for his work in «Teens». His success has also led to participation in high-profile projects, including a role in the upcoming adaptation of «Wuthering Heights» by Emerald Fennell alongside Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi
