On Thursday, Spider-Man star Tom Holland addressed rumors that former Spider-Men Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield might return for the next Spider-Man installment.

‘Beats me, I don’t know. If they are, they never told me yet,’ the 24-year-old Englishman told Variety’s awards editor Clayton Davis.

‘I’ve never met Kirsten Dunst [who played Mary Jane Watson]. I met Andrew [who played Spidey in 2012 and 2014] once, I met him at the BAFTAs. He was lovely. He was a really nice bloke and we had a nice chat. It was quite soon after Spider-Man: Homecoming had come out.

The 24-year-old Englishman (R) told Variety’s awards editor Clayton Davis (L): ‘Beats me, I don’t know. If they are, they never told me yet’

‘He was really positive and nice. I’ve bumped into Tobey [who played Spidey from 2002–2007] a few times at different parties in LA. He was really nice. They seem to be lovely, really nice people. I hope they enjoy our movies. I hope they enjoy our Spider-Mans.’

Tom is currently hard at work as the acrobatic Peter Parker on the Atlanta set of Jon Watts’ untitled Spider-Man three-quel, which hits US theaters December 17.

‘I can say that it’s the most ambitious standalone superhero movie ever made. You sit down, read the script, and see what they’re trying to do, and they’re succeeding,’ Holland marveled.

‘It’s really impressive. I’ve never seen a standalone superhero movie quite like it. And I’m just, you know, again, that lucky little s*** who happens to be Spider-Man in it. We got a lot more shooting to do. 

Tom continued: ‘I’ve never met Kirsten Dunst [L, who played Mary Jane Watson]…I’ve bumped into Tobey [R, who played Spidey from 2002–2007] a few times at different parties in LA. He was really nice. They seem to be lovely, really nice people’

Holland explained: ‘The subject matter is really important. I think we’re doing a service to society by shining the light on a problem that is happening on everybody’s doorstep, which is substance abuse, overmedicating people, and not treating PTSD in the correct way’

‘It’s the gift that keeps on giving. And I got to work with the Russos [Anthony and Joe] again – people that I really respect and I look up to and admire their work,’ Holland gushed.

‘The subject matter is really important. I think we’re doing a service to society by shining the light on a problem that is happening on everybody’s doorstep, which is substance abuse, overmedicating people, and not treating PTSD in the correct way.

‘And also, it was a challenge. I love a challenge. I love pushing myself. Hard work is good work. So it was a bit of a no-brainer, this film, and I can’t imagine there was any way in which I would have turned it down and walked away.’
