Tom Holland is now 30 years old and is still playing Spider-Man. According to his own words, that means he\u2019s done something wrong.<\/p>\n
During a recent interview alongside Matt Damon and Robert Pattinson to promote their upcoming film The Odyssey, Tom Holland<\/a> \u2014 who has yet to truly forge a compelling acting career outside of the Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> and is likely hoping his performance in Christopher Nolan\u2019s epic changes that \u2014 attempted to reframe his infamous comment about playing Spidey in the third decade of his life.<\/p>\n Tom Holland attempted to reframe his viral 2021 comments in which he said if he was still playing Spider-Man at 30, he\u2019s \u201cdone something wrong\u201d<\/p>\n Back in 2021, Holland told GQ that \u201cIf I\u2019m playing Spider-Man after I\u2019m 30, I\u2019ve done something wrong.\u201d Speaking to the same outlet<\/a> five years later, Holland attempted to position those comments as a \u201cnegotiation tactic.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI could also have been trying to leverage Sony and scare them into thinking I wasn\u2019t going to do Spider-Man 4 now that I had a new deal on the horizon,\u201d Holland said.<\/p>\n \u201cSo I don\u2019t know what it could have been. It could\u2019ve been part of a strategy to create fear. I think the truth is that playing Spider-Man has been the joy of my life. I now kind of stand on the plinth of like, I\u2019ll do it for as long as they\u2019ll have me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Given his role as Spider-Man<\/a> \u2014 one of the most popular fictional characters in existence \u2014 and his relationship with Zendaya<\/a>, he\u2019s maintained a certain level of movie stardom. His filmography since joining the MCU in 2016\u2019s Captain America: Civil War, however, is unfortunately a far cry from an actor being on top of his game.<\/p>\n Other than comic book movies, Holland has starred in the following films since 2016: Edge of Winter, The Lost City of Z (a legitimately good movie, which also featured Pattinson), Pilgrimage, The Current War, Spies in Disguise (animated), Dolittle (voice role), Onward (animated), The Devil All the Time (again alongside Pattinson), Cherry, Chaos Walking, and Uncharted.<\/p>\n Of those ten films, only one of them \u2014 at least as far as the live-action titles go \u2014 is well-regarded, and that\u2019s James Gray\u2019s The Lost City of Z, which was released the same year he made his debut as Peter Parker\/Spider-Man (2016).<\/p>\n
