Tom Holland is enthusiastic about it Spider Man 4revealing that he had read a draft of the script with co-star and girlfriend Zendaya a few weeks ago.

However, he recently shared on the Rich Roll podcast that “it needs work, but the writers are doing a great job.”

Last month, The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported that Destin Daniel Cretton was in talks to direct the fourth installment of the superhero franchise, taking over from director Jon Watts.

“One of the things you have to keep in mind at Marvel is that your movie is a small cog in a big machine,” Holland explained of the development process of Spider Man 4. “And that machine has to keep running. And you need to make sure you can fit that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture. That is one of the challenges we face. The time in which we have to achieve this is quite a task, but certainly feasible with the fantastic people we are now working on it with.”

The Crowded room star added that the film team already has “a creative and a pitch and a concept, which is excellent.

“It’s a work in progress, but the writers are doing a great job,” he continued. ‘I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. 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.

Holland played Peter Parker/Spider-Man in three standalone films, opposite Zendaya’s MJ: 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming2019 Spider-Man: Far From Home and 2021 Spider-Man: No way home. He also appeared in several other Marvel films, such as 2019’s Avengers: Endgame and 2018 Avengers: Infinite War.

Last year the actor admitted Collider that he was open to reprising his role as a superhero, but only if the storyline “does justice to the character.”

“I feel very protective of Spider-Man,” he added at the time. “I’m very fortunate that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with every movie, that got more successful with every movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect its legacy. So I’m not going to make another one just to make another one. It will have to be worth it for the character.
