In a recent press conference with the Critics Choice Association, Holland told Collider’s interviewer that he would only return as Spider-Man if it’s ‘worth the while of the character.
Holland said, “All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character. Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing.”
