Tom Holland’s growing partnership with Sony
Penthouse marks Tom Holland’s next collaboration with Sony following the overwhelming success of its Spider-Man film series.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest installment in the franchise, has broken multiple major box office records following its theatrical debut in July. The movie has become the third-highest-grossing film of all time, with Avengers: Endgame at the top and Avatar trailing behind at No. 2.
Beyond Penthouse, Holland’s packed slate with Sony includes playing the lead in an upcoming Fred Astaire biopic alongside Margaret Qualley, Sabrina Carpenter, and Talia Ryder.
Meanwhile, there has also been speculation that Holland may reprise his role as Peter Parker in Avengers: Doomsday. However, his return in the movie remains unconfirmed.
Most recently, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige addressed the future of Spider-Man movies in the MCU. Speaking with Variety in August, he stated that Holland and Zendaya would take a much-deserved break before plans for Spider-Man 5 are discussed.
