Tom Holland wants Owen Cooper to replace him as Spider-Man.

The 30-year-old actor has portrayed the web-slinging superhero and his alter-ego Peter Parker ever since 2016's Captain America: Civil War, and he is now thinking about who might wear the Classic Suit next.

Ahead of his fourth standalone Spider-Man movie, Brand New Day, which will drop on July 31st, Holland told Esquire UK magazine: "Owen Cooper would be awesome.

"Obviously, he's super-talented and the talk of the town right now."

Cooper is best known for shooting to fame in Netflix miniseries Adolescence, for which he won a Golden Globe, Primetime Emmy, and BAFTA TV Award, as well as many other accolades.

Holland would love to be a mentor to Cooper, or whoever is named as his successor, in a future Spider-Man movie.

He explained: "In the way that Robert Downey [Jr.] was such a mentor for me in my first three movies, I would love to be that person for whoever is next."

But he admitted: "[It's] pretty tough to get a producing credit on future movies."

Last month, Holland told how he wants to help set up the "next chapter" of Spider-Man, and he hopes his character can have a significant impact on the next generation in the way Downey Jr.'s Iron Man was a father figure to him.

He told Empire magazine: "For whoever's next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter. Whatever that looks like, I don't know.

"But, if I could do what Downey did for me, then I would be so content swinging off into the sunset."

Holland was proud to have more creative involvement in Spider-Man: Brand New Day than on previous films in the series.

He said: "This is the first time in my tenure as Spider-Man that I was kind of welcomed into the writers' room.

"[Me and the producers would] meet once every two weeks to pitch ideas and discuss our ambitions and what we wanted to try and do."
