Spider-Man star Tom Holland, 30, wants Adolescence actor Owen Cooper, 16, to replace him as the web-slinger.

 

Holland has played the superhero and his alter-ego, Peter Parker, since 2016's Captain America: Civil War and is now thinking about potential successors.

 

Ahead of the upcoming Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which will open on Jul 30, Holland told Esquire UK: "Owen Cooper would be awesome.

 

"Obviously, he’s super-talented and the talk of the town right now."

 

Cooper is best known for shooting to fame in the Netflix miniseries Adolescence, for which he won a Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy and BAFTA TV Award, as well as many other accolades.

 

Holland would love to be a mentor to Cooper, or whoever is named as his successor, in a future Spider-Man movie.

 

He explained: "In the way that Robert Downey [Jr] was such a mentor for me in my first three movies, I would love to be that person for whoever is next."

 

But he admitted: "[It's] pretty tough to get a producing credit on future movies."

 

Last month, Holland talked about how he wanted to help set up the "next chapter" of Spider-Man, and he hopes his character can have a significant impact on the next generation in the way Downey Jr's Iron Man was a father figure to him.

 

He told Empire magazine: "For whoever's next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter. Whatever that looks like, I don't know.

 

"But, if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset."

 

Holland was proud to have more creative involvement in Spider-Man: Brand New Day than in previous films in the series.

 

He said: "This is the first time in my tenure as Spider-Man that I was kind of welcomed into the writers’ room.

 

"[The producers and I would] meet once every two weeks to pitch ideas and discuss our ambitions and what we wanted to try and do."

 

A new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released on Thursday (Jun 18) morning, giving fans an extended look at the Hulk and the Punisher. 

 

The two-minute, 41-second video showed Spider-Man battling numerous enemies while grappling with a mysterious mutation.
