In a move that we\u2019re just going to have to go ahead and take on faith won\u2019t end in a version of Spider-Man who fights K-Pop demons and doomer political takes while thinking constantly about Taylor Swift getting married, Tom Holland has said he\u2019s been searching the internet to find out what people want from his next Spider-Man\u00a0movie. Holland was talking to\u00a0<\/a>LADBible<\/a>\u00a0about next year\u2019s\u00a0Spider-Man: Brand New Day, in which he\u2019ll return to the role of Peter Parker after a few years away, and mentioned that he\u2019s basically been crowdsourcing ideas from the online hordes for his fourth leading role as the character.<\/p>\n

Specifically: \u201cI have been actively sifting through the internet and trying to best understand what it is that the fans want from a Spider-Man movie,\u201d Holland said, noting that the fruits of that research have then made their way into pitch meetings for the film. \u201cThat\u2019s been my driving force in these pitch meetings. I think the producers, at times were like, absolutely sick of me, but I think it\u2019s really important, because we make these movies for [the fans].\u201d<\/p>\n

Sadly, Holland doesn\u2019t go into details about what he\u2019s trawled up from the internet\u2019s subconscious Spider-Man desires, although apparently \u201changs out with both Punisher<\/a> and the Hulk<\/a>\u201d are somewhere in the mix. (We\u2019d kill to know where he\u2019s been looking; is this the first Spider-Man based entirely on what people are screaming about on Threads?!) It\u2019s hard to blame the guy, either: Brand New Day\u00a0is a weird moment for the character, who managed to get through a whole trilogy of MCU movies with his box office draw largely intact, even as the films around him (i.e., Sony\u2019s endless bizarre \u201cSpider-Man without Spider-Man\u201d\u00a0Venomverse) have steadily fallen away. Shorn of his supporting cast, and much of the standing cinematic universe framework that bulked him up, what does Peter Parker look like now? What are his favorite memes?<\/p>\n

In any case, Holland is apparently thinking about this stuff\u2014even if he\u2019s gotten better at keeping some of the resulting thoughts on the inside of his head. When asked, for instance, how much longer he anticipates playing Spidey, the 29-year-old Holland\u2014once infamous for spilling secrets at the drop of a hat\u2014gave a hyper diplomatic \u201cIn terms of my future in the character beyond this film, I don\u2019t know the answer to that.\u201d Ah, how much they\u2019ve grown.<\/p>\n
