Tom Holland says that if he's still playing Spider-Man after he turns 30, he's 'done something wrong'
- Tom Holland told GQ that if he's playing Spider-Man after he hits 30, he's "done something wrong."
- Holland has said that his upcoming movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is his last under contract.
Tom Holland said that he doesn't anticipate portraying Peter Parker/Spider-Man after he hits 30.
"Maybe it is time for me to move on. Maybe what's best for 'Spider-Man' is that they do a Miles Morales film. I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life," Holland, 25, said in a cover story for GQ's Men of the Year issue released on Wednesday. But also: "If I'm playing Spider-Man after I'm 30, I've done something wrong."
Holland made his Marvel debut as the iconic webslinger in 2016's "Captain America: Civil War."
He's since reprised the role for his standalone "Spider-Man" franchise as well as two "Avengers" films. "Spider-Man: No Way Home," set for release on December 17, will mark Holland's sixth appearance as the character.
In multiple interviews, Holland has said that the film is his last one under his current contract.
"No Way Home" director Jon Watts has alluded to just how high the stakes are when he described the movie to Empire magazine as "Spider-Man: Endgame."
Similarly, Holland told Entertainment Weekly that he got emotional on the set of "No Way Home" and said that the cast and crew have been acting as though the film was their swan song.
"We were all treating ['No Way Home'] as the end of a franchise, let's say," Holland said. "I think if we were lucky enough to dive into these characters again, you'd be seeing a very different version. It would no longer be the 'Homecoming' trilogy. We would give it some time and try to build something different and tonally change the films."
It's unclear if Holland will appear again in the MCU after "No Way Home." Outside of Marvel, he'll be starring in the upcoming Apple TV+ anthology series "The Crowded Room."
But the actor told GQ that's he'd be content to stop acting, too.
"I might start shooting 'The Crowded Room' and go, 'You know what, this is what I'm going to do for the rest of my life,'" he said. "Or I might do 'Spider-Man 4, 5, and 6,' finish when I'm 32, and never make another. I'm not sure what I want to do."
