It's been confirmed that Marvel won't be bringing back Tom Holland for Spider-Man's next adventure.
Following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Holland's version of Peter Parker finally became his own hero, becoming fully self-sufficient and a bit closer to his comic counterpart.
Speaking of, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is set to launch later this month, check out our preview below
A fourth Spider-Man film is planned, potentially adapting the fan-favourite Symbiote Spider-Man story, though its release window and cast is unknown at the time of writing.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe's next adventure for the webhead is sooner than we think though, as an animated show, Spider-Man: Freshman Year, is set to release next year on Disney+.

Freshman Year will follow Peter Parker's high-school life, and will reportedly be set in an alternate universe, starring characters like Norman Osborne, and even other heroes like Daredevil.
It's been confirmed Tom Holland won't be returning to lend his voice to Peter Parker, instead, the character will be played by Hudson Thames. Fans may recognise that name, as he's actually played the web-slinger before in Holland's absence. Thames starred as Spider-Man in a single episode of the MCU's What If?.. animated series.
The reason Tom Holland won't be reprising his role is unknown, but it's likely nothing serious as big-name actors often don't return for animated reprisals. As far as we're aware, Tom Holland is still the MCU's Spidey.
In other news, the MCU is in a bit of a sorry state at the moment, with fans arguing the film series isn't what it used to be in terms of quality and cohesiveness.

A prime example is the upcoming TV show Daredevil: Born Again, a soft reboot of the beloved Netflix series. It was recently confirmed that Marvel has scrapped the show's writers, with production set to start from scratch with a new creative vision in mind. It's believed this was due to the show not reflecting the dark, gritty realism of the Netflix version.
Spider-Man: Freshman Year is set to swing onto Disney+ sometime in 2024.
