Tom Holland made headlines in 2021 when he told GQ magazine that “if I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.” Well, not only is Holland officially 30 right now but he’s also got a new “Spider-Man” movie, “Brand New Day,” opening in theaters July 31 and does not have any immediate plans to stop playing the web-slinger. So is Holland eating his words? Not exactly.

“It’s funny, I saw that quote pop up somewhere recently and I kind of reeled, because I was trying to remember what I meant,” Holland recently told GQ magazine for the publication’s summer cover story on Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” adaptation.
