Tom Holland reflects on a decade as Spider-Man
Holland, who has portrayed Peter Parker since 2016, said returning to the character still offered new creative opportunities despite having played the superhero for nearly 10 years.
"We've played these characters for ten years, we've loved every minute of it," he said.
"Any time you're playing a character and there's something new and fresh to bring to the table, it's always so welcome, and it was just like a really fun acting exercise."
When asked if Brand New Day could be his final appearance as Spider-Man, Holland declined to give a direct answer, telling fans they would have to watch the film.

A new chapter for Peter Parker
Spider-Man: Brand New Day picks up after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, where Peter Parker chose to erase himself from the memories of those closest to him in order to save the multiverse.
The film sees Holland return as Spider-Man alongside Zendaya as MJ, with new cast members including Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the latest instalment has already received an early positive response from several critics ahead of its wider release.
