According to Holland, he feels protective of Spider-Man and values the success of the franchise. He won’t make another movie just for the sake of it; it has to be worth it for the character.

He said, “I feel very protective over Spider-Man. I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie and that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy. So, I won’t make another one for the sake of making another one. It will have to be worth the while of the character.”
