TikTok has discovered that Tom Holland was dreaming about playing Spider-Man long before he appeared in the MCU.

Click here to watch the viral TikTok video featuring a young Holland at a red carpet event speaking about the 2012 disaster movie The Impossible, in which he made his feature film debut starring alongside the likes of Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. In the clip, Holland ponders the idea of taking on a "less serious" role after his initial big-screen breakout.

When asked specifically about whether he would like to be cast as a superhero someday, Holland highlighted Spider-Man as the character he'd like to play at some point in his career. "What kind of superhero would I want to play? Maybe Spider-Man in ten years' time," Holland said before joking with the interviewer that it would be "the reboot of the reboot."

Holland made his web-slingin' debut in 2016's Captain America: Civil War before swinging into his first solo outing as a young Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming. He will be wall-crawling across our screens again in Spider-Man: No Way Home, the follow-up to 2019's Spider-Man: Far From Home, when that Phase 4 movie hits theaters this December.

No Way Home is expected to include some multiverse elements and may even converge the Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland universes together in such a way that it potentially allows Holland to make appearances in both the MCU and the SPUMC (aka Sony Pictures' Universe of Marvel Characters) in the future.

As it stands, SPUMC is developing several movies based on Marvel characters, with Venom: Let There Be Carnage coming up in 2021, Morbius in 2022, and Kraven the Hunter in 2023 — a movie that is expected to fill in another piece of the shared universe puzzle, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson stepping up to play one of Spider-Man's oldest enemies.
