English actor Tom Holland is undoubtedly one of the most popular actors of his generation. He made his acting debut in 2012 with a role in the disaster film The Impossible, in which he played the role of a teenager trapped with his family during a tsunami. It was after this movie that he chose to pursue acting as a full-time career.

Over the years, Tom Holland established himself as an accomplished actor in Hollywood. He rose to worldwide recognition with his portrayal of Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He has played the title role in three MCU movies so far. However, the last Spider-Man movie was released in 2021, and so far, there has been no news regarding Spider-Man 4, and Holland is not even willing to do one unless he finds the story groundbreaking.

Tom Holland is Not Willing to Do Spider-Man 4 Unless He Finds the Story Worth Telling

Tom Holland considered several career choices before he finally chose to do acting. He was enrolled in a dancing class when he was a child; he even tried carpentry and then he even considered becoming a primary teacher because he loves being around kids. Thankfully, acting turned out to be his true calling and it has been quite the journey for him as he rose to stardom.

2021’s Spiderman: No Way Home earned more than $1 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing movie of the year. However, what comes as a shock is that a sequel to the movie has not been in the making or even slated for a release in the future.

While talking at a press conference with the Critics Choice Association (via Collider), Tom Holland said that he will make a sequel only if the story is worth telling. 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. [..] 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.”
