Tom Holland has no desire to stop being Spider-Man any time soon.
The 20-year-old British actor made his first appearance as Peter Parker with a scene-stealing cameo in Captain America: Civil War, and will soon make his first solo outing in Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Holland will then reteam with the Avengers in Infinity War and its sequel, before starring in the planned Spider-Man: Homecoming sequel.
And if he's got anything to do with it, he'll be playing Spider-Man for decades to come.
"Peter Parker is a character we see [in the comic books] as a 15-year-old boy and then as a 35-year-old man," Holland explained in the latest issue of Empire magazine.
"So I have an idea of what I'd like to do, and I've pitched it and it's already been taken into the boardroom. It would be really cool if it pans out, because it means I would be Spider-Man for a very long time."
What to Read Next
It seems Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige isn't against Holland being Spider-Man for a while either as there's a three-film arc planned out.
"Harry Potter became the example, though Peter's clearly not as young as Harry was in the first film. There's certainly a fun potential three-film structure that can be had, between sophomore, junior and senior year," he teased.
Whether any future films will see Spider-Man interact with the Avengers remains to be seen though, as there were reports the rights to character would return to Sony after the Homecoming sequel.
However, Drax himself (aka Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista) doesn't think that's going to happen.
Spider-Man: Homecoming swings into cinemas on July 7.
