Tom Holland has been playing Peter Parker for nearly a decade, and fans have long wondered what happens when he finally hangs up the suit. Turns out he’s already thought that far ahead.

Ever since became a fan favorite thanks to : Into the Spider-Verse, the question of a live-action crossover or handoff has followed Holland everywhere. Fans want to know whether the two Spider-Men will ever share the screen and, more importantly, whether Holland sees his run as a bridge to something bigger.

Tom Holland Reveals His Plan to Pass the Torch to Miles Morales

Speaking with Josh Horowitz, Holland was asked directly if he’d imagined how he’d pass the baton to Miles Morales. His answer left no ambiguity.

“Oh, yeah there’s a whole plan we’ve been working on since Spider-Man: No Way Home. I have a really clear vision for passing the baton. I think it’s really exciting. That’s the thing I want to do most with this character,” Holland said.

That’s a striking admission. Holland isn’t just entertaining the idea, he’s describing an active plan that’s been in motion since No Way Home finished production, one of the biggest Spider-Man films ever made.

The multiverse chaos of that movie cracked the door open for exactly this kind of crossover, and it sounds like Holland and the creative team have been walking through it ever since.

What makes this especially exciting for fans is the tone Holland used. He didn’t frame this as a contractual obligation or a distant hypothetical. He called it the thing he wants to do most with the character, which suggests Peter Parker’s story arc is being built with Miles Morales’ eventual arrival as the endgame, not an afterthought.

Marvel and Sony have remained quiet about any official Miles Morales casting news for the live-action MCU, but Holland’s comments confirm the groundwork is already there. The only question now is when that vision becomes reality on screen.
