The debate over which Spider-Man was the best in MCU is never going to reach a final answer. Nonetheless, Tom Holland has certainly made history in the world of comic book adaptations. He was the first Spider-Man to dive into the larger universe of the MCU, making him the only one who got to hang out with the Avengers. He was also the only live-action Spider-Man whose origin story was not retold when he first hit the big screen. And it looks like his role is about to get even more interesting. 

A Hollywood insider recently confirmed that Tom Holland’s character in the MCU is about to become even more pivotal- with several exciting projects coming up.

Tom Holland has already played Spider-Man in two Avengers movies. Now, he is about to take on “a huge role” in the upcoming Avengers flicks, too. Hollywood insider MyTimeToShineHello has revealed a new Marvel-Sony deal that includes three fresh solo Spider-Man films and three additional MCU entries. The report also confirmed Spider-Man’s role in the forthcoming Avengers: Doomsday, which means Holland could cross paths with Robert Downey Jr.

Fans have been daydreaming about what it would be like to see a showdown between Spider-Man and the former face of Iron Man, who has now transformed into Dr. Doom. The endless possibilities for jokes and clever references that this clash could bring are truly exciting. However, they are also starting to have their doubts about Holland’s chops as an actor.

Tom Holland has won plenty of affection for his role as Spider-Man. However, outside of the MCU, he has not really left an impression. After some disappointing performances in Cherry, The Devil All the Time, and The Crowded Room, fans are beginning to wonder if Holland can find his footing beyond his superhero role. In contrast, Zendaya has enjoyed several successes outside the MCU.

When news surfaced about a rumored movie featuring Tom Holland and Austin Butler titled American Speed, fans jumped on social media to joke that if it does not succeed, he might end up as “Zendaya’s stay at home dad.” However, many reminded everyone that Holland is Spider-Man and could keep playing the role for the next 30 years. And given his growing importance in the comic book franchise, it is indeed easy to picture him in the suit for decades to come.
