“Spider-Man” star Tom Holland has revealed that he and co-star Zendaya have read a draft of the script for the franchise’s fourth chapter.
In the new movie, Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man from earlier three films — “Spider-Man: Homecoming” (2017), “Spider-Man: Far From Home” (2019) and “Spider-Man: No Way Home” (2021).
He has also appeared in Marvel blockbusters like “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”.
During his appearance on The Rich Roll Podcast, the actor said he and Zendaya, who plays his love interest MJ in the franchise, were excited after reading the draft.
“We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent. It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me.
“Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect,” he added.
Last month, it was reported in American media that “Shang-Chi” director Destin Daniel Cretton was in talks to helm the fourth part, taking over the reins from director Jon Watts.
