Tom Holland to return as Spider-Man for new trilogy?

As per Comicbook.com, Banderas said without any hesitation that he would want to hand the title over to Holland if there was a reboot. He reportedly said, “I did Uncharted with him, and he’s so energetic and fun, and he’s got this spark, too. Why not?” Banderas explained that he would want to return to the franchise in a new film in order to pass the mask down to Holland, the same way that Hopkins did for him in the 1988 film. The film saw Hopkins’ Don Diego de la Vega handing the torch down to Banderas’ Alejandro Murrieta.

“Yes, I would. I would consider that possibility. Why not?” Banderas reportedly said when asked if he would return for a new project in the franchise. “I said something like that to somebody. I said, ‘Well if they called me to do Zorro, I would do what Anthony Hopkins did in the first (for) me, (which is) give the torch to somebody else,'” he added. 

'Puss in Boots: The Last Wish' is a spin-off of the 'Shrek' franchise and a sequel to 'Puss in Boots' (2011). The shows Puss' journey as he sets to find the mystical last wish to restore eight of his nine lives that he lost while escaping new enemies who plan to hunt him down.
