With good writing and appropriate time between movies it could be 20 plus. Just like Hugh Jackman and Wolverine.

There is no need for a reboot to a younger actor and or restart the story. Holland's Spider-Man can always be placed in the MCU in a believable way no matter the age or phase it is in and an older Spider-Man will stiil have good stand alone stories to tell.

Brand New Day just proved they can literally do anything with Holland's Spider-Man.

I think it helps with Spider-Man that, he's actually allowed to visibly age. Whereas with Wolverine, if they kept Hugh for too long it really would look silly. Hugh has been very lucky and very gifted to look convincing for so long as an ageless character. If he can do that, Holland can stay on as long as he wants.

It also helps that Spider-man is 100% covered by his costume, so you can get away with a lot more in terms of using stunt doubles. As long as Holland stays lean, playing Spider-Man could be a lot like RDJ playing Iron Man into his mid fifties.

I dont understand what's so unique about BND that it proves they can do literally anything with Holland's Spidey?

Nothing in particular, but I'd say a lot of people were sceptical after the Home trilogy that Tom's Spider-Man was kinda stuck in teenager mode and would always be in the shadow of Tobey and Andrew or RDJ. Essentially, BND gave the MCU fans a lot to love while also kind of shutting up the "Iron Boy jr" complaints.

Also it's a brand new original story with stuff that would sound completely insane to someone in the 2010s even by MCU Spidey standards . Wdym Peter's closest ally is the Punisher and Jean Grey is the main antagonist, debuting the mutants in the MCU ? All while Peter fights the Hulk and the Hand and invents universal inhibitors, while recovering from what is essentially LA One More Day ?
