We’re still a couple of months away from the release of Spider-Man: Homecoming, but star Tom Holland is already starting to field questions about the second instalment of the rebooted Marvel and Sony series, revealing to CinePOP that he’d like to see Spider-Girl introduced in the sequel.
“There’s so many good villains, I really like Mysterio, I like Kraven. I really like the Clone Saga. I think it could be really cool if Peter, or Spider-Man has to fight people with the same powers as him. Spider-Woman’s super cool… I think she’s called Spider-Girl who is his clone. They kind of like hit it off and they take their masks off and they’re like… [shocked look] What the hell! They’re like the same person, but she’s just a girl. I think that’s really cool.”
Holland also expressed his excitement over the upcoming solo movie, stating that: “You know, it’s a dream come true, I’ve wanted to be Spider-Man since I was a little kid and now it’s actually becoming a reality. Even after Civil War it didn’t feel… real… but now it’s finally hitting me, it’s not actually a dream and I can’t quite believe it’s coming true.”
