The character's had a rather shaky cinematic history, with both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield eventually walking away from the roles without any great sense of satisfaction.
Yet, the gamble appears to have paid off (so far); Holland's younger, wise-cracking iteration of the character was a hit with audiences, prompting some major hype around his first solo outing in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
And, unsurprisingly, Marvel has already started looking further into the future; with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige telling Collider of their post-Homecoming plans, "Should we be able to make more after that? Sure. This is sophomore year, is the next one junior year? Is the next one senior year? Is there a summer break between each of those?"
"I don’t know what, but it was sort of how do we do a journey for Peter not dissimilar for what the students of Hogwarts would go through each of their years, which was one of the early ideas we had for the movies."
The primary focus for now, however, is ensuring Homecoming is a hit with audiences and fans. "The first step was reintroduce a new Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Civil War and have people leave the theater saying, ‘I love that Spider-Man. I wanna see more of him.’ I think that’s happened."
"The next step is making a great Spider-Man: Homecoming and a great film that showcases Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and makes everybody fall in love with him all over again."
Spider-Man: Homecoming hits UK cinemas 7 July 2017.
