Tom Holland Shares ‘Spider-Man 4’ Update After Reading Script With Zendaya: “It Really Lit A Fire In Me”

Tom Holland is famous for being unable to keep a secret and recently gave an update on the development of Spider-Man 4.

The actor teased that he and Zendaya had read a draft of the script and are excited about the direction the superhero film is headed.

“We have a creative and a pitch and a draft which is excellent,” Holland said on The Rich Roll podcast. “It needs work but the writers are doing a great job and I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me.”

He continued, “Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were like bouncing around the living room. Like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect, but there [are] a few things we need to figure out before we can get that really going. But it’s exciting and I’m really, really excited about it.”

Holland noted that he owes it to Marvel fans to “deliver the best version of what the next chapter for Spider-Man looks like.”

“I think that’s really important and I think the creative integrity for something like that is really important,” he said. “And the studio is on board and supportive and really collaborative, and I’ve been so blown away by how welcoming they’ve been into that creative room, but we’re working now with the pedal to the metal. We’re trying to get it going as soon as possible. Things are looking great but there’s still a lot of moving pieces that need to come together for us to hit the ground running.”
