“Spider-Man” star Tom Holland has offered some thrilling news about his return as Peter Parker.
In an interview with The Rich Roll podcast, Holland said he is fired up after reading a draft of the script of the franchise's fourth chapter along with his co-star Zendaya, who plays his love interest MJ in the franchise.
“We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent. It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me," Holland said.
"Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”
In the new movie, Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man from earlier three films -- "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (2017), "Spider-Man: Far From Home" (2019) and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021).
He has also appeared in Marvel blockbusters like “Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame”.
Last month, it was reported in American media that "Shang-Chi" director Destin Daniel Cretton was in talks to helm the fourth part, taking over the reins from director Jon Watts.
Holland also discussed the complexities of working within the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) where solo films are just one part of a much larger, interconnected Marvel storyline.
“One of the things to bear in mind with Marvel is that your film is a small cog in a large machine. And that machine has got to keep running. And you need to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture.
"That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the fantastic people we have working on it now," he added.
