Tom Holland Really Wants to Play James Bond Says Spider-Man Co-Star

There’s
a
lot
of
talk
over
who
should
be
the
next



James
Bond,
now
that
Daniel
Craig
has
hung
up
the
tuxedo,
and
man
of
the
hour
Tom
Holland’s
name
is
a
part
of
the
mix.
Until
a
name
is
officially
announced,
different
actors
interested
in
the
part
are
setting
their
sights
on
the
coveted
role.
Given
the
continued
popularity
of
the
character,
the
casting
could
potentially
result
in
a
run
in
multiple
movies
as
007,
as
is
the
case
with
most
of
the
others
who’ve
played
Bond.

Tom
Holland
is
neck-deep
in
one
major
franchise
already
as
the
star
of



Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home,
but
he
apparently
has
dreams
of
slipping
into
the
tux
as
a
new
incarnation
of
James
Bond.
The
25-year-old
was
featured
in
a
profile
by
GQ
which
touched
on
his
overall
career
ambitions.
According
to

Spider-Man
co-star
Jacob
Batalon,
Holland “talks
about
being
James
Bond
a
lot.

A
lot
a
lot.”

It
would
appear
that
this
has
been
an
idea
that’s
come
to
Holland
even
before

No
Time
to
Die
brought
the
end
of
Daniel
Craig’s
run
in
the
role,
and
if
he’s
still
talking
about
it
frequently,
he
must
be
very
interested.
The
actor
previously
said
he
wanted
to
play
that
role
as
a
British
cinema
lover
in
a
previous
interview
with
Variety.
Evidently,
he’s
been
talking
about
it
to
his
friends
as
well.

“I’ve
got
two
roles
coming
up
that
I’m
playing
in
the
next
few
years
that
I’m
really
excited
about,
but
I
can’t
talk
about
them
yet.
But
I
mean,
ultimately,
as
a
young
British
lad
who
loves
cinema,
I’d
love
to
be
James
Bond.
So,
you
know,
I’m
just
putting
that
out
there.
I
look
pretty
good
in
a
suit,”



Tom
Holland
said.

James
Bond
producer
Barbara
Broccoli
has
said
that
casting
talks
for
the
next
James
Bond
won’t
begin
until
sometime
next
year
at
the
earliest,
but
other
actors
like
Henry
Cavill
and
Dwayne “The
Rock”
Johnson
have
also
gone
ahead
and
thrown
their
names
into
the
hat.
Holland
is
obviously
much
younger
than
the
superspy
is
typically
portrayed
in
Bond
movies,
which
could
work
against
his
potential
casting,
as
was
the
case
with
Cavill
previously
getting
passed
over
in
favor
of
Daniel
Craig
for

Casino
Royale.

Fortunately,
Tom
Holland
will
be
just
fine
with
or
without
the
James
Bond
role.
Whatever
happens
in

Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home,
chances
are
we’ll
see
him
back
on
the
big
screen
as
Peter
Parker
at
some
point,
especially
with
there
already
being
teases
of
a



Spider-Man
vs.
Venom
crossover
movie.
The
actor
is
also
starring
in
the
upcoming
video
game
adaptation

Uncharted
as
Nathan
Drake,
another
iconic
and
popular
character,
and
that
could
very
well
spawn
a
franchise
as
well
if
this
movie
is
a
hit.

What
everyone
is
most
excited
about
at
this
time
for
Holland
is
the
release
of

Spider-Man:
No
Way
Home.
A
second
trailer
was
just
recently
released,
revealing
Holland’s
Spidey
taking
on
a
variety
of
villains,
some
from
alternate

Spider-Man
universes.
The
movie
will
be
released
on
Dec.
17,
2021.
