- Holland has revealed he has seen the script and his feelings on it
- The actor also talked about his thoughts on Miles Morales entering the MCU
- Star has previously said he would only make another movie if the script was good enough
After months of speculation, Tom Holland has revealed that he has seen a script for a potential Spider-Man 4 movie.
Lit a fire
What’s more, he believes the script is “excellent” before adding that it still needs work before it could make it to production.
In an interview with the Rich Roll podcast, Holland gave the first concrete update on the status of a fourth Spider-Man movie for some months. “We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent,” he said. “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me,” he said.
Holland said he sat down and read the script with girlfriend and Spider-Man co-star Zendaya. “We at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”
The British actor has previously spoke about how, while he was willing to don the Spidey suit again, he would only do it if he felt the script did the character, and what has gone before, justice.
But Holland didn’t elaborate on what was in the script, understandably. Although the fact he sat down with Zendaya, who has played MJ in all three Spider-Man films, to read the script will lead to speculation that she may also reprise her role in a new film.
Morales maybe
Elsewhere in the interview, Holland also touched on the possibility of there being an MCU version of Miles Morales at some point in the future. There have been two hugely successful animated films featuring Morales from Sony, but that is outside the MCU.
“If I would be lucky enough to somehow bring Miles Morales into my Spider-Man universe and into the MCU, I love to do for a young kid what [Robert] Downey [Jr] did for me,” Holland said. He was referring to how Downey took him under his wing when he first entered the MCU as a teenager.
