Tom Holland chooses actor who should succeed the role of "Spider-Man"

Just as he was welcomed by Robert Downey Jr. when he took on the role of "Spider-Man", Tom Holland, 30, is eager to mentor the next actor to take on the role of the hero.

Holland has played the character in the Marvel franchise since 2016, when he appeared as Peter Parker in "Captain America: Civil War".

With his fourth film as the character about to debut, he has a suggestion for who could succeed him: Owen Cooper, the young star who was successful in "Adolescence" (Netflix).

"Owen Cooper would be amazing. Obviously. He's super talented and he's hot right now," Holland said in an interview with Esquire magazine.

Owen is 16 years old and his role as the teenager accused of killing a schoolmate earned him awards such as Emmy, Critics Choice and Golden Globe, some of the main film awards.

When he won the golden statuette in January, Owen became the second youngest actor in history to win a category at the awards.

"Spider-Man: A New Day", the continuation of the Peter Parker saga, is scheduled for release on July 30th.

In the interview, the actor, who confirmed that he is married to Zendaya, also said that he wanted to be more involved in the development of the character in the continuation of the franchise.

"I don't know what this next chapter will be like. But if I could do what Downey did for me, I would be very happy to retire."
