Spider-Man: No Way Home has recently passed the 1 billion dollar mark at the international box office. And Tom Holland addressed questions if he would return as the iconic superhero. During an appearance on The One Show, he was asked if Holland will return to play Spider-Man following the box office success.
The actor stated that he had an amazing run as Spider-Man and if it is his time to step down and the next lucky kid is going to step up, he will do so proudly. “I have had such an amazing run as Spider-Man, if it is my time to step down and the next lucky kid is going to step up, I will do so proudly.” The Uncharted actor went on saying, “I have achieved everything I wanted to achieve as the character, so if it is time then I will do it with my head held high, but if not, I will play this character forever because I love it.”
The actor also revealed that winning an Oscar for No Way Home would be the ‘icing on the cake’ as they are set to be announced next week. And with Oscars nominations announced next week, Ronan quizzed him if he was hoping to scoop an award for his portrayal of the comic book character. Tom said, “For us as creatives, I think I can speak on behalf of everyone at Sony and Marvel, the love and support we have had for the film from the fans has been so fantastic, that’s enough for us.”

Spider-Man: No Way Home star went on saying, “To see people in the audiences standing on their feet cheering, enjoying the process and the nostalgia of the celebration of three generations of cinema is pretty special to be a part of.” “So should the Oscars happen it would be the icing on the cake but if not we are all very proud of what we have achieved.”
Elsewhere on the show, Tom was stunned as he received a surprise video message from his old dance teacher, Lynne Page. She said, “I can’t think of anybody more deserving to play Fred Astaire than you. Everybody loved Fred, he made the dancing look so easy, but you and I know it’s because of all the hours of practice he put in.”
