Meanwhile, it seems that Hollywood star Tom Holland isn't packing up his Spider-Man suit any time soon as Sony producer Amy Pascal says not only will Holland be back as the superhero, but another movie trilogy is in the works. "This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel - (this is not) the last Spider-Man movie," Pascal said in an interview published on Monday, reports ew.com.
Pascal added: "We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel. We're thinking of this as three films, and now we're going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies."
Pascal has been involved with the current era of Spider-Man films, from 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' to the 'Venom' movies to the animated 'Into the Spider-Verse'. In a profile on Holland published by GQ this month, the producer said she already spoke with the 25-year-old English actor about "doing, like, 100 more" movies. "I'm never going to make Spider-Man movies without him," she said. "Are you kidding me?"
Coming back to No Way Home, directed by Jon Watts, who helmed previous entries Homecoming and Far From Home, sees what it's like for Peter Parker (Holland) when the world knows his true identity as Spider-Man.
