Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be Tom Holland’s fourth Spider-Man movie, which will also be something of a soft reboot for the character (and the actor). Peter Parker erased himself from the world’s memory at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, and years later, superhero life has become his only life. But a new kind of threat attacks Peter’s mind as much as his body, and the young hero starts experiencing radical changes as a result.
Brand New Day is looking poised to do major business at the box office, and could secure Holland’s presence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe for years to come. However, the young actor isn’t afraid to talk about the future of his run in the MCU – or who takes the mantle after him.
Tom Holland Names His Potential Spider-Man Successor
Tom Holland has been the focus of a new Esquire profile that covers his time in the MCU and what lies beyond it. As part of the dicussion on what Holland could do with his career in the future, he was asked directly if he knew of any young actor that he could see replacing him as Spider-Man. And Holland definitely had an answer: “Owen Cooper would be awesome. Obviously, he’s super-talented and the talk of the town right now.”
Owen Cooper has indeed become the talk of Hollywood in the last few years. The young British actor recently won an Emmy for his performance in the hit Netflix mystery-drama, Adolescence. He followed that with a featured performance in Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of Wuthering Heights, playing the young version of Jacob Elordi’s Heathcliff.
More to come…
