Robert Downey Jr. Doesn’t Want Tom Holland To Play Spider-Man Forever

Tom Holland's Spider-Man


The celebrities involved gain a lot from being a member of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. They not only land a succession of high-paying gigs certain to garner a large audience, but they also give the talent in question the opportunity to branch out beyond the franchise.


Take, for example, the Chrises. Hemsworth was almost unknown before going on to play their respective roles, Evans was a well-known name but not a major celebrity, and Pratt was best recognised for his performance on Parks and Recreation. The trio is now among the most well-known figures in the industry, thanks to the enhanced visibility that comes with being a member of the industry's most recognisable brand.


Since his debut as Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Tom Holland has seized every opportunity, branching out and winning rave reviews for his performance in Netflix's The Devil All the Time, and he's also been hailed as the high point of the Russo brothers' Cherry, which hasn't exactly received unanimous critical acclaim thus far.

Robert Downey Jr., Holland's on-screen and off-screen mentor, knows a thing or two about longevity, having made his big-screen debut over 50 years ago, and he confessed in a new interview that he doesn't want to see Holland portray Spider-Man indefinitely.


"Look, Tom isn't going to play Spider-Man when he's 37 years old. At least, that's what I'm hoping.And when you're in the MCU, you get the impression that everything starts with it and ends with it. But there is also life outdoors. I can attest to this. I've been there, done that, and have the T-shirt to prove it. "There was a Spider-Man before Tom Holland, and there will be a Spider-Man after Tom Holland,"

There isn't a week that goes by without Downey Jr. being connected to a return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he appears content to put that aspect of his life behind him for the time being. Meanwhile, once Spider-Man: No Way Home is completed, Holland will no longer be under contract to play the web-slinger, but he seemed content to stay in the role for at least a few more years until he ages out of it.

Jessica Jones Highlights Sexist Treatment Of Female Marvel Heroes

Image
Jessica Jones, one of Marvel's most powerful female characters, considers how poorly female superheroes are treated in the society she inhabits. Jessica Jones is not typically the first female superhero that comes to mind. She isn't as eye-catching as Captain Marvel or She-Hulk. With the exception of her time as Jewel, Jess prefers a leather jacket and a cup of coffee than the conventional cape and tights. Jessica Jones offers a perceptive commentary on the present condition of vigilantism and what it means to be a woman in that milieu in Marvel's The Variants. Ten years have passed since Jones was under Kilgrave's, a.k.a. the Purple Man, control when The Variants takes place. Jessica is prepared to retire from crimefighting now that she is married to Luke Cage and has a daughter. The first victim of Kilgrave, Maria Snyder, who is accused of killing her family, makes an attempt to deny responsibility in court. Unfortunately, Jessica is the only one who has an understand...

GoT's Lena Headey Sued Over Cut Thor: Love and Thunder Role

Image
Game of Thrones actress Lena Headey is being sued for $1.5 million by her former UK agency, Troika, for a variety of unpaid commission fees. These costs cover Thor: Love and Thunder, a movie in which Headey was cast but whose producers ultimately decided to delete her scenes. According to Troika, now known as YMU, Headey expressly owes them at least $500,000 for the movie Love and Thunder. Variety has revealed that she did indeed play a part in the original script written by director Taika Waititi, despite the fact that her inclusion in the Marvel Studios summer blockbuster was never promoted or formally announced. That position's specifics are still unknown. Numerous A-List actors were eliminated from Thor 4's final edit, including Headey's role. Christian Bale said that Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic World: Dominion and Game of Thrones co-star Peter Dinklage were cut from the fourquel. “I got to work with Peter Dinklage, that’s not in the final film, but I got to work with ...

Marvel Star Will Poulter Says Superhero Body Transformations Are 'Unhealthy' and 'Unrealistic'

Image
Source: Twitter Will Poulter, one of the MCU's newest actors, has stated that getting a superhuman physical change without a studio paying for your meals and training is "unhealthy" and "unrealistic." In a recent interview with The Independent, he said, "It's difficult to talk about it because with Marvel it's all secret squirrel." "However, the most important thing is that your mental and physical wellness come first, with aesthetic aspirations coming second." If you don't have the financial backing of a studio to pay for your meals and training, you'll wind up advocating something unhealthy and unrealistic.In that regard, I'm in a really fortunate position, and I wouldn't advise someone to prepare for that job the way I did." What is this job that Poulter is referring to? His role as Adam Warlock, a genetically engineered superhuman in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 film, which will be released next year. La...
