Tom Holland said he "would be a fool" not to play Spider-Man again but admitted he would only do it if the storyline does "justice to the character."

The 27-year-old actor last played Peter Parker and his web-slinging alter ego in 2021's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and while he confirmed he had been "actively engaging in conversations" about making another movie, he feels "protective" over the character and will only reprise the role if the story is right.

Speaking during a Critics Choice Association press conference, he said: "All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character."

"Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing. I feel very protective over Spider-Man."

"I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy."

"So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character."

Marvel shocked fans when Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire reprised their iterations of the character in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film ended up becoming the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie ever, amassing more than $1.91 billion at the global box office.

Though Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has previously confirmed that they are working to develop another Spider-Man sequel, little has been released about what and who that would entail. The project also hasn’t been officially placed on the upcoming release schedule.
