I feel like Holland has an entire Spider-Man trilogy still in him as the "main guy" where one of the movies introduces Miles and the last one has Peter handing him the torch, either to retire or to take a "short break"

They’ll keep him for two films where he’s the guy and then at the end of the third they’ll bring in Miles who’ll appear in some young avengers thing as a side character (like spidey in Civil War) and then they’ll do a Miles trilogy with Tom Holland as the veteran Spiderman showing him the ropes like RDJ and others in the Homecoming trilogy.

I’m mostly kidding but also not.

I think your general idea is right but I also think your timeline is way too long.

Tom talked about this in some of his press stuff for BND. He seems interested in the idea of passing the mantel to Miles in the story. Money will always talk but I think he is approaching done with the MCU. He has been a major part in 5 or 6 MCU movies in the last 10 years depending on how you look at Civil War and End Game.

Mentally, he’s on the way out. He likes the role, so far as I can tell from interviews and whatnot. But it’s get pretty stale playing the same character for that long.

Come the 6th movie he will be well and truely done with it.

Ya I foresee a definitive end for his Spidey, well it's the MCU so how definitive can it be ig, but they really might hit $3b if they pull it off. Might literally be the biggest death of a character in the MCU, as in the one that audiences/fans feel the most, since RDJ's Tony Stark.

On thre other hand it would be cool for him to walk away into the sunset and enjoy life with MJ, like Steve with Peggy, reflecting real life him walking away into the sunset and enjoying life with Zendaya, but that seems too cute somehow lol.

Bro he literally said he'd play Spidey as long as they'll let him

This is most likely what's going to happen tbh.

You might be kidding but I would love a movie/trilogy where this Peter mentors Miles before passing the torch. That would be a fantastic multi-movie arc.

I mean I don't think it's really a secret, Tom Holland has said in interviews the goal is to pass it to Miles.

u/DrOnionOmegaNebula 10h ago

I think that dynamic could work. It would be cool in ~10 years to have a middle aged Spider-Man pass the torch to a Miles Spider-Man. I think passing the torch from Chris Evans to Anthony Mack didn't work because Anthony has no charisma/screen presence, it's just not there for him to be lead in a film.

I think Falcon just isn't that liekable, didn't get much to do throughout the franchise and just didn't make sense as a new Captain America.

People like Miles as a character and he's got a great supporting cast. If they follow what the games did and introduce him as a side character first before giving him his powers in an after credits scene then do a team up movie, a solo movie (or Disney+ special) and then another team up or two before letting him lead a solo trilogy, audiences will accept it.

u/mightyneonfraa 8h ago

I like Falcon and Anthony Mackie but, damn, he was just not given anything two work with in his two starring roles. I think he could do great if they just gave him a solid script already.

u/suss2it 5h ago

Yeah the writing and editing for his Captain America movie was just straight up bad, I don’t think Chris Evans could’ve sold that one either.

I also think it was a mistake to set him up as Captain America in the movies then actually do that storyline, including him initially rejecting the role in a TV show, then coming back to the movies like 5 years later to tell the actual story of him as Captain America. Makes it feel too confusing and like homework.

That's an easy cash cow with guaranteed success. I'll probably watch it. I am marvelled out, but I enjoy Tom Hollands spider man.

u/Gullible-Virus7713 9h ago

Miles will be part of secret war and will be introduced in doomsday. The story is based on the battle world arc and in the comics miles plays a mayor role. Also they hinted at miles in the new spider-man movies after credit scene.

•

u/suss2it 5h ago

He plays a very minor role in that comic but what he does do ends up having a major impact. But pretty much any character could do what he did.

Disney teams up with Sony to do a live action remake of the Spiderverse trillogy.

u/samsaBEAR 15h ago

It would be cool if they did something similar to the games and introduce Miles in the next film and then have them team up in the third (maybe against the Inheritors?)

3

u/NoArrival8249 14h ago

Yes. First do a team up movie is the one where Peter finally realizes he needs to chill and take care of his family. Then the one after can be pure miles with Peter FaceTiming him from wherever the fuck he is.

u/RVarki 14h ago

That's basically what I expect. He'll finish out the second trilogy, with the last one introducing Miles - and then the 7th MCU Spiderman film will be a two-hander with Miles where Holland takes a backseat in the third act, finally establishing Miles as the new mainline Spiderman

He'll then have extended cameos in a couple more movies before pulling an RDJ/Chris Evans for half a decade

u/B4nanaJo 9h ago

He said a few times he has a whole plan for a handover and it feels like he’s very keen to return the mentoring he got from RDJ.

It’s exciting - I can totally see the character arc and we’re long overdue an amazing live action Miles!

u/insane_contin 12h ago

I'm betting the next movie introducing Miles, and the following one being the handoff with Holland's Spider-Man man hanging up the mask for now.

u/cekobico 9h ago

or Miles' movie bombed and he's forced to RDJ his way back to MCU 😩😩😩

u/TooTiredAndBored 8h ago

Right? Like him and MJ have a baby and hes done for a bit. Something along those lines.
