Tom Holland is determined not to spoil anything from the upcomingSpider-Man 3, reaching into the past to get fans excited for the return of our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. The actor has shared a behind-the-scenes look at himself in the red and blue suit of the Marvel icon from the set of 2017’sSpider-Man: Homecoming, likely suggesting that the actor is getting ready to suit-up once again. Though that Instargam post was later deleted, it has been preserved for everyone’s viewing pleasure elsewhere on the internet.
Thanks to the inclusion ofDoctor Strangeand the surprise return of Jamie Foxx as the villainousElectro, a role he played in 2014’sThe Amazing Spider-Man 2,Spider-Man 3has emerged as one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s most intriguing projects. Lead star Tom Holland took to social media recently to reveal that he will be one of the first to see how all the pieces fit together having now received the script for the movie. “Hey, so I just got home, and I’ve just been delivered a package,” he said via his Instagram. “That package is an iPad, and on that iPad is a script. And that script is Spider-Man 3.”
Tom Hollandhas acquired something of a reputation for spoilers over the years, but thankfully the actor sounds like he has finally learned from his mistakes. “I’m not going to tell you anything about it because I’ve learned my lesson. I’m gonna read this now, and I can’t wait,” he added.
Jacob Batalon, who will be returning asPeter Parker’s best friend NedinSpider-Man 3, has also taken to social media to show himselfreading the script, and while he didn’t give anything specific away, the actor did show footage of himself reacting in complete and utter shock to something that occurs in the movie. Could it be a Tobey Maguire cameo? Nobody knows. Well, some people know but that doesn’t sound as mysterious.
Next to nothing is yet known about the plot ofSpider-Man 3, and, if Holland has really learned his lesson, we likely won’t find out very much about it for some time. However, we do know that Holland is back as Peter Parker, AKA Spider-Man, and he’ll be joined by Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, and Marisa Tomei as Aunt May. The movie is expected to follow on from the shocking finale of last year’sSpider-Man: Far From Homewhich saw Peter Parker outed as Spider-Man by everyone’s favorite angry journalist, J. Jonah Jameson, a role that was reprised by J. K. Simmons.
Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange is also being folded into proceedings, with the character set to take on the mentor role previously held by Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man. With theDoctor Strangesequel set to follow the Master of the Mystic Arts tackling the multiverse, many have speculated thatSpider-Man 3will follow a similar path, and that the sequel will introduce the live actionSpider-Verse, leading to all kinds of comic book craziness.
Production onSpider-Man 3officially began earlier this month, with Holland recently arriving in Atlanta to begin filming. “We just landed in Atlanta. And uh…it’s time for Spider-Man 3. Let’s go!” the actor said via social media. Now that Holland has arrived it’s just a matter of time before principal photography gets underway.
Originally,Spider-Man 3was set for a release date of July 12, 2025, as part of the much-anticipated Phase 4 of the MCU. Due to the ongoing global circumstances, the entire Phase has now been dramatically reshuffled withSpider-Man 3scheduled to swing into UK and US cinemas on June 11, 2025. Holland shared the image tohis official Instagram story.
