Tom Holland has named Adolescence breakout star Owen Cooper as his possible Spider-Man successor.
The British actor made his debut as Peter Parker\/Spider-Man in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War and is now gearing up to release his fourth solo outing in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.<\/p>\n
While he has yet to divulge if he’ll play Spider-Man again, Holland told Esquire UK in an interview published on Tuesday that he’d love to see a young actor like 16-year-old Cooper play the web-slinging superhero in the future.<\/p>\n
When asked to name a good successor, Holland replied, “Owen Cooper would be awesome. Obviously, he’s super-talented and the talk of the town right now.” He noted that the role also works well with a fresh face.<\/p>\n
Cooper achieved widespread acclaim last year for his breakout role in the miniseries Adolescence, for which he won an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA TV Award, and an Actor Award, making history as the youngest recipient in his categories.<\/p>\n
He recently made his film debut in Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights and is set to appear in Tom Ford’s next film, Cry to Heaven.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in his Esquire interview, Holland, 30, shared that he would like to stay involved with the Spider-Man franchise whenever his tenure ends, however, he admitted it’s “pretty tough to get a producing credit on future movies”.<\/p>\n
“In the way that Robert Downey was such a mentor for me in my first three movies, I would love to be that person for whoever is next,” he explained.<\/p>\n
The Impossible star noted that he completed his Marvel contract with 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, and was “on the fence” about making a fourth instalment.<\/p>\n
However, he was heavily involved in this pre- and post-production process and believes it is “the best Spider-Man movie that we’ve ever made”.<\/p>\n
“It’s a bit of a risk, but I think it really pays off,” he added.<\/p>\n
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released in cinemas on 31 July.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Holland has named Adolescence breakout star Owen Cooper as his possible Spider-Man successor.The British actor made his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[263],"tags":[1012,51044,18,117,231232,19,17,327,6136,40370,18237],"class_list":["post-538201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-adolescence","tag-captain-america-civil-war","tag-eire","tag-entertainment","tag-esquire-uk","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-movies","tag-owen-cooper","tag-tom-ford","tag-tom-holland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116760513511630233","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
