In a recent interview, Tom Holland said that he wanted to "concentrate on establishing a family" instead of performing. Holland, well known for his portrayal as Spider-Man, will feature in 'Uncharted,' which will be released in theatres on February 18, 2022. He was recently also cast as Fred Astaire in an unnamed biopic on the legendary American performer.

Holland, however, stated that he wants to devote more time to his personal life in the future. The 'Spider-Man' star said, "I've spent the last six years being so focused on my career, I want to take a break and focus on starting a family and figuring out what I want to do outside of this world." Holland also said that if he weren't performing, he would be a schoolteacher since he loves children so much.

He told People magazine, "I like children. I can't wait to be a father – I can and will wait, but I can't! If I'm at a wedding or a party, I'm always hanging out at the kids' table. My father has always been a fantastic role model for me. That's something I believe I've picked up from him. So I'm thinking of becoming a primary school teacher or anything along those lines."

After being caught kissing Zendaya inside a car, Holland is widely assumed to be dating his 'Spider-Man' co-star. The 'Malcolm & Marie' actress recently uploaded a vintage photo of Holland on set with the comment, "My Spider-Man, I'm so proud of you, some things never change and it's a good thing," on Instagram.



 

The highly anticipated film "Spider-Man: No Way Home," starring Holland, Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, and Benedict Cumberbatch, will be released in theatres soon. While Holland has talked about leaving his role as Spider-Man, Amy Pascal, the producer of 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' has informed Fandango that Holland will appear in three more films as Spider-Man.

Holland also stated that he wants to hand the Spider-Man baton to a new actor. "I don't want to be responsible for holding back the next young person that comes in who deserves it just as much so, I would love to see a future of Spider-Man that's more diverse — maybe you have a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman. We've had three Spider-Mans in a row; we've all been the same. It'd be nice to see something different." he remarked.
