The actor seems ready to break away from his superhero persona and explore new horizons as well. He is teaming up with his Spider-Man producer for another exciting project.

This time, Tom Holland will not just be in front of the camera, he is also stepping into the producer’s chair under a newly founded banner.

Tom Holland has recently co-founded his own production company, Billy17, alongside his brother Harry Holland and friend Will South. According to The Hollywood Reporter, one of his big collaborations is with his Spider-Man producer, Amy Pascal. It will be an adaptation of Teddy Wayne’s novel The Winner. And yes, Holland is set to star in it as well. The movie is being described as The White Lotus meets The Talented Mr. Ripley, following a fresh college graduate who gets wrapped up in a steamy yet dangerous relationship with a divorced woman.

That is not the only project Holland has lined up to act in and produce. He is also teaming up with Sony Pictures through Billy17 for another movie, titled Burnt. The Billy17 team is developing the film with Rodney Rothman, who is currently working on the script. Holland’s production company is also adapting Graeme Simsion’s novel The Rosie Project for TriStar Pictures. And while he is busy with these projects, Spider-Man 4 is also starting to take shape, with some major updates revealed recently.

Amy Pascal on what Spider-Man 4 could be about

Amy Pascal recently spilled some tea about the upcoming Spider-Man film in an interview with Deadline. She shared that the story would dig into the aftermath of Peter Parker’s heart-wrenching decision at the end of No Way Home. He is going to "focus on being Spider-Man, because being Peter Parker was too hard,” she said. The scheduled release for the movie is also very interesting.

Spider-Man 4 is slated to hit the theaters on July 26, 2026, landing right between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars. Unless the movie takes place before Doomsday- which seems unlikely, given that Holland is expected to take the lead in that film- it is safe to assume that this story will unfold in the aftermath of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes clashing with Doctor Doom. There is even a chance Spidey could step up as a leader of the Avengers, now that Iron Man and Captain America are no longer in the picture.
