Spider-Man's future is both wide open and exteremely limited at the moment. If the current status quo persists and a new deal between Sony and Marvel isn't reached, then the next standalone Spider-Man film will not be connected to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in any capacity.
Citing last December's Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse as a movie that raised the bar for the entire franchise, actor Tom Holland told the crowd at Keystone Comic Con this past Sunday that the film was also a reminder that there's a lot more Spider-Man characters than what we've seen in the live-action movies that have come before.
Holland stated, "I love that movie. I think that movie was the perfect thing the family of Spider-Man needed. It’s just a reminder that there’s so many more characters out there. One day we’ll have to bring Miles to the live-action screen, and how you do it, I don’t know, but it’ll be amazing."
However, matching the spectacle of Into the Spiderverse might be hard to achieve as there's one character, in particular, that Holland believes is difficult to pull off in live-action.
"There are characters in the comics who are so hard to bring to life. Like the Green Goblin, for me, is a real difficult one to bring to a live-action screen, so seeing him in that capacity was so cool, because he stayed true to the comics, and I just, for me, really enjoy different aspects of what Spider-Man is to people and his journey. I didn’t really know much about Miles’ character, because I’m so invested in Peter Parker to play him, and it was just nice to learn about a different aspect of Spider-Man.”
