There are two honest answers to this question and they point in opposite directions. Both are worth having.
The Official Answer: Nothing Is Confirmed
As things stand, Tom Holland has no public commitment to play Spider-Man beyond Brand New Day, and Marvel has not announced a next film.
The studio had the perfect opportunity to say otherwise and chose not to. Marvel normally ends a film by naming what comes next. The Brand New Day post-credits card says only “Spider-Man will return” — no title. That omission is deliberate.
The Real Answer: A Plan Has Existed for Years
Holland has been unusually direct about this. In his words there is:
“A whole plan that we have been working on… since we finished Spider-Man: No Way Home” — with a “really clear vision [of] the passing on of the baton.”
That is not a tease about one sequel. It is a description of a succession structure that predates this film by years.
He Is Not Leaving — He Is Planning to Hand Over
The two things people assume are opposites are both true here. Holland has said he would play the role “for as long as they’ll have me” — and separately that he wants to be the one who sets up whoever follows.
The model he keeps describing is the one he lived through: Robert Downey Jr. mentoring him when he entered the MCU. He has talked about doing the same for the next actor — “shepherd the lucky young kid who gets that job.”
Who He Has Actually Named
| Miles Morales | Named specifically — Holland has expressed a desire to bring him to the screen |
| Spider-Gwen | Named as a possibility |
| Spider-Woman | Named as a possibility |
| Silk | Mentioned among successor options |
Note what these have in common: every one of them is a different Spider-person, not a recast Peter Parker. The plan Holland describes is not replacing him in the same role — it is Peter stepping into the mentor seat while someone else takes the mask.
How This Fits the Post-Credits Scene
Read together, the pieces line up. The stinger shows a second Spider-Man somewhere in deep space and refuses to name the next film. Holland describes a plan built around handing the role to another Spider-person. Whether those are the same thread is not confirmed — but they are pointed in the same direction.
