In a recent interview with GQ for the publication’s Men of the Year rollout, Tom Holland spoke on his time in the Spider-Man franchise and how much longer he plans on playing the Marvel superhero. “Maybe it is time for me to move on,” he told the outlet. “Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film.
