The star of the ‘Spider-Man’ franchise sounds excited about the latest sequel, even if he has notes.

Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker/Spider-Man, spoke about this on the “Rich Roll Podcast.” The actor shared that he and his real-life girlfriend, Zendaya, who plays Parker’s love interest Michelle “MJ” Jones in the franchise, read the draft script for “Spider-Man 4.”

“It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job,” Holland said.

“I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me,” he continued. “Zendaya and I would sit down and read it together, and sometimes we would bounce around the living room and say, ‘This is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.’ But there are a few things we need to figure out before we can really get that going, but it’s exciting.

The couple starred together in 2017’s ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, 2019’s ‘Spider-Man: Far From Home’ and 2021’s ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’. Holland also played the role in several other Marvel films , including 2018’s ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.

Holland also discussed adjusting to the fame that came with his career.

“I was really lucky that my life slowly changed,” he said during the podcast. “I started when I was really young and then I had about ten years before the ‘Spider-Man’ thing happened. The Spider-Man of it all, that was the big turning point where everything changed.”

That decade gave him time to adapt to the industry, he said, but there was “definitely a steep learning curve.”
