Tom Holland, the talented British actor known for his portrayal of Spider-Man, has recently expressed his admiration for the animated film “Into The Spider-Verse.” Despite having appeared in three Spider-Man films himself, Holland confidently claims that the 2018 animated version surpasses all others in the Spider-Man franchise.

A High Praise from Spider-Man Himself

Holland, who has worn the iconic red and blue Spidey suit in standalone films and major Marvel productions, did not hold back in his praise for “Into The Spider-Verse.” Speaking at the premiere of his Apple TV show, “The Crowded Room,” Holland shared his thoughts with the Associated Press, stating:

“I think the first ‘Spider-Verse’ movie is the best Spider-Man movie that’s ever been made. I’m so proud of everyone involved.”

Holland’s enthusiasm for the film is evident, as he refers to producer Amy Pascal as his “mom” and expresses regret for not being able to attend the premiere as her date due to work commitments. He also expresses excitement for the upcoming sequel, stating:

“I’m sure it will live up to every expectation, and I can’t wait to see it.”

The Anticipation for “Across The Spider-Verse”

Holland’s mention of the sequel refers to “Across The Spider-Verse,” set to release in cinemas this Friday. The highly anticipated film will see the return of Shameik Moore as the voice of Miles Morales/Spider-Man and Hailee Steinfield as Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman. The stellar cast includes Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, and Oscar Isaac.

With a remarkable 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, “Across The Spider-Verse” is expected to captivate audiences with its innovative animation and compelling storytelling.

Spider-Man’s Future: More Adventures to Come

Although Holland shows immense admiration for other Spider-Man films, it does not imply that he is distancing himself from the beloved character just yet. In regards to his fourth solo outing as Peter Parker, Holland provides an update:

“I can’t talk about that, but I can say that we have been having meetings. We’ve put the meetings on pause in solidarity with the writers. There have been multiple conversations had, but at this point, it’s very, very early stages.”

Amy Pascal, the film’s producer, shares a similar sentiment, affirming that another Spider-Man movie is in the works, but progress has been halted due to a writers’ strike. Pascal asserts:

“Are we going to make another movie? Of course we are. We’re in the process, but the writers’ strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters, and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”

Prior to the strike, the fourth Spider-Man film was slated for a 2024 release, with Holland returning alongside Zendaya, who portrays Peter Parker’s girlfriend in the franchise.
