Here’s what Holland had to say about the plan to find a new Spidey:
“There’s a whole plan that we have been working on for, I would say, since we finished ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’ It’s laid out. It’s gonna change for sure, but I have a really clear vision to the passing on of the baton, and I think it’s really exciting.”
He’s said previously he’d be excited to see a live-action Miles Morales (currently to be found in animated form in the ‘Spider-Verse’ movies, but we’d still expect Holland to stick around for a while.

Animated adventure ‘Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse’ is due to hit screens on June 18 next year.
And beyond that? SPOILER ALERT for anyone who has yet to see ‘Brand New Day’ –– that movie’s post-credit “scene” featured the Spider-Tracker from the film showing Spider-Man off-world, potentially setting up Holland’s appearance in ‘Avengers: Secret Wars,’ assuming he hasn’t already filmed something for ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’
