“Spider-Man: Homecoming” starts a trilogy, Tom Holland reveals
Audiences going to see “Spider-Man: Homecoming” this summer are all aware of the fact that this isn't just a one-off Spider-Man movie. Tom Holland's Peter Parker has already popped up in “Captain America: Civil War” and has a role to play in “Avengers: Infinity War” and possibly “Avengers 4”, and there's already a “Spider-Man: Homecoming” sequel slated for release in 2019. Marvel Studios doesn't just make standalones, they make franchises, so the news that a Spider-Man trilogy is being planned isn't too shocking—although there are still a number of major issues up in the air.
Speaking with Allo Ciné (via SHH), Holland revealed that a Spider-Man trilogy is being planned: “Yes, there is what we call the arc of the character. There is still a lot of room for Peter Parker and Spider-Man, especially, to grow in the next two movies. He's definitely not the finished article by the end of Spider-Man: Homecoming and I really look forward to exploring the different ways he can grow up and… go through puberty I guess. It's going to be an exciting couple of movies.”
When asked to clarify what he meant by “couple of movies”, Holland let the cat out of the bag: “There will be a Spider-Man 2 and 3… Yeah, well now you know, sorry Marvel. Whoops!”
“Spider-Man: Homecoming” marks a unique partnership between Sony Pictures—the studio that owns the rights to the Spider-Man character—and Marvel Studios. Looking to reboot the character after “The Amazing Spider-Man”, Sony teamed up with Marvel to have Marvel Studios take the creative lead on a new Spider-Man movie and allow Spider-Man to pop up in MCU movies, while Sony still gets to distribute these standalone Spidey films.
