NEW YORK – In Spider-Man: Homecoming everyone’s favourite wall-crawler gets to team up with Iron Man for his first solo movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

But new Spidey star Tom Holland already has an idea of which Marvel hero he wants to pair up with in the Homecoming sequel, which is set to open July 5, 2019.

“For me, it would be Ant-Man,” the 21-year-old tells the Sun. “I think we could have a fun time with Spider-Man and Ant-Man.”

The heroes, who met briefly in Captain America: Civil War on opposite sides of Team Cap and Team Iron Man, didn’t exactly end up the best of friends. After Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man blew himself up to the size of a giant, Holland’s Spidey toppled him by webbing his legs together.

In Homecoming, Peter Parker is coming into his own as an awkward teen who dreams of a life fighting crime alongside Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) and the Avengers. But when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, Spider-Man has to hurry up and become the hero he was meant to be.

Holland’s iteration of Spidey is slated to appear in two solo sequels as well as next year’s Avengers: Infinity War and 2019’s untitled Avengers 4.

He’s the third actor since 2002 to play the web-slinger following Andrew Garfield (2012’s The Amazing Spider-Man and 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2) and Tobey Maguire (who played the character in Sam Raimi’s trilogy).

With filming on the next Spider-Man slated to begin next spring, Holland has some ideas as to who he wants to square off against in the sequel.

“I have my thoughts, but I don’t want to tell the world because if we do use them I want it to be a complete surprise,” he says.

But teaming up with Ant-Man is something Holland thinks could be a unique addition to the MCU.

“A mini-Spider-Man could be really interesting and so cool,” he says. “Swinging from that Coke bottle to that glass,” he says motioning to the coffee table in front of him, “but making it look like Manhattan would be insane. It would be a really amazing way to start off the movie. You see Spider-Man swinging around in like Rome or something and he suddenly grows and it turns out he was on a model.”

Spider-Man: Homecoming opens July 7.
