Robert Downey Jr. recently admitted he doesn’t want to see Tom Holland play the Spider-Man role for too long.
Tom Holland hasn’t been shy about his desire to play Spider-Man for many years to come, and it’s expected that he will follow the path of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. However, Holland’s contract is up after Spider-Man: No Way Home and he is starting to add diversity to his resume with performances in The Devil All the Time and Cherry.
Ever since Tom Holland’s Spider-Man debut in Captain America: Civil War, Robert Downey Jr. has served as a mentor to the young actor both on the screen and off. In a recent GQ piece, Downey admitted he wants to see Holland eventually retire from the Spider-Man role like he was with Iron Man in the future:
“Look, Tom won’t be playing Spider-Man when he’s 37. At least I hope not. And when you’re in the MCU, there’s a feeling of all life beginning with it and ending it. But there’s life outside too. I can confirm this. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt…What I am saying is there was a Spider-Man before Tom Holland and there will be a Spider-Man after Tom Holland. That’s facts, Tommo. Sorry.”
