As a movie reviewer with over two decades of experience in the industry, I must say that Tom Holland’s desire to pass on the Spider-Man mantle to Miles Morales is a truly inspiring move. Having seen countless actors come and go, it’s heartening to see one as talented as Holland willing to mentor a newcomer, just like Robert Downey Jr. did for him.
Fans of Spider-Man will have quite some time before they can catch the next installment in Jon Watt’s reboot series, as filming is tentatively set for 2025. However, Tom Holland, our beloved Spider-Man, has been thinking about what might come after, expressing a desire for Miles Morales to step into the role of the web-slinging superhero in future Marvel Cinematic Universe stories. In a recent interview, he shared some thoughts on how this transition could be effectively handled.
It remains uncertain what path “Spider-Man 4” will follow, as Tom Holland has openly expressed his enthusiasm for the script, but based on the information available, it seems unlikely that “Spider-Man 4” will be the movie to pass Holland’s Spider-Man role to a new character. However, Holland appears ready to relinquish the iconic Spider-Man suit sooner rather than later. In an interview with Rich Roll, Holland revealed that he hopes comics character and Spider-Verse star Miles Morales will take on the responsibilities of Spider-Man, and further expressed a desire to coach the actor playing Miles in the manner that Marvel Cinematic Universe icon Robert Downey Jr. supported him.
In an interview, Tom Holland shared that Robert Downey Jr., during the filming of Captain America: Civil War, stood up for him when some of Spider-Man’s lines were set to be removed from the movie. The Russo Brothers were reportedly persuaded by Downey Jr. to keep these scenes in the final cut. If Holland is fortunate enough to introduce Miles Morales into his Spider-Man universe and the MCU, he expressed a desire to pay it forward by supporting a newcomer as Downey Jr. had supported him. This sentiment is particularly touching considering the competitive nature of the entertainment industry towards aspiring actors.
Will Miles Morales Truly Become the Next Spider-Man?
As a passionate film enthusiast, I can’t help but reflect on Tom Holland’s desire to carry on the Spider-Man legacy. This doesn’t necessarily imply he’s bidding adieu to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but his resolve to relinquish the suit is palpable. In the past, he had set himself a “Spider-Man deadline,” expressing, “If I’m 30 and still playing Spider-Man without having passed on the mantle to a Miles Morales or a Spider-Woman or someone more diverse, then I will have fallen short in my responsibilities towards this iconic character.
Tom Holland has been playing Spider-Man for nearly a decade, which is quite some time to embody one character, but his decision to pass on the role isn’t just because he feels “out of steam.” Miles Morales, a young Afro-Latino character, offers an alternative to the traditional Spider-Man. His narrative emphasizes that anyone, regardless of age, race, or ethnicity, can don the Spider-Man suit – a theme that resonates strongly in today’s socially and politically charged environment.
In the Spider-Verse series, Miles Morales’ character has enjoyed remarkable triumphs. Introducing a Miles Morales figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) might invite criticisms of jumping on the bandwagon, but overall response is anticipated to be extremely favorable. Having Tom Holland continue as a mentor for a new Spider-Man could help soften the impact of his departure, given Holland’s eagerness to stay involved in the role.
