Tom Holland Names His Pick for His Spider-Man Successor in Future Marvel Movies
- In an Esquire profile published June 16, actor Tom Holland named 16-year-old Owen Cooper as a potential successor to the role of Peter Parker, expressing his desire to eventually pass the baton to the next generation.
- Cooper gained acclaim for his role in the Netflix miniseries 'Adolescence,' becoming the youngest Emmy winner in his category at age 15, while Holland has increasingly discussed his intent to mentor a younger actor like Robert Downey Jr. did for him.
- Holland praised Cooper, saying, "Owen Cooper would be awesome." He added, "Obviously, he's super-talented and the talk of the town right now," while joking about potentially holding the role until he turns 37.
- On 'The Tonight Show,' Cooper called playing Spider-Man a "dream of mine since I was a kid," though he noted he is not "expecting" the role to happen anytime soon.
- As Holland begins his promotional tour for 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' arriving July 31, 2026, the franchise remains a massive box office draw, with 'No Way Home' earning $1.9 billion and positioning the new film as a fresh beginning.
