Global fans are focusing their attention on Tom Holland's fourth "Spider-Man" film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). This is also the 7th time the British actor has put on this iconic hero's suit.
However, contrary to the psychology of keeping the aura of many stars, Tom Holland admitted that he has begun to seriously plan for the prospect of leaving the role of Peter Parker.
In an interview with Esquire newspaper, the 29-year-old star affirmed that he is always concerned about passing on the torch to the next generation.
Tom Holland expressed his desire to continue to be associated with the brand as a producer or a consultant behind the scenes.
He wants to bring direction, psychological support and support to those who come after, similar to what "Iron Man" Robert Downey Jr. dedicatedly did for Tom Holland in the early days of joining the MCU universe.
When asked by reporters about a specific candidate who has enough potential to shoulder this responsibility, Tom Holland did not hesitate to call out Owen Cooper - a 16-year-old actor who is a global phenomenon: "Owen Cooper will be a great choice. He is clearly an outstanding talent and is the most sought-after name in Hollywood at the moment".
Tom Holland also emphasized that the Spider-Man role carries huge pressure but will be a "perfect launching pad" to elevate a young face like Cooper.
In an interview with i-D magazine, Owen Cooper once revealed that Tom Holland's performance in the movie "The Impossible" was the biggest inspiration that brought him to art.
Besides, Cooper does not hide his ambition to play Spider-Man.
Tom Holland's expectations for Owen Cooper are well-founded. Owen Cooper is currently considered one of the talents of the new generation after his excellent performance in the TV series "Adolescence".
This divine role helped Owen Cooper sweep all major awards and continuously set countless records: becoming the youngest actor in history to win an Emmy Award in the category of "Best Supporting Actor in a Drama", the youngest person to win the "Best Supporting Actor" award at the Golden Globes and the youngest person ever to be honored at the SAG Awards.
Owen Cooper's rapid rise once sparked a series of rumors about Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures secretly approaching him.
For decades, Marvel has earned billions of dollars with its series of superheroes, including Spider-Man. They will have to carefully choose a new talent - when Tom Holland leaves the "Spider-Man" image.
