Spider-Man is not about sex, its about friendships, says Tom Holland

Actor Tom
Holland has said that a movie like Spider-Man does not need sex scenes, as it
features relatively young characters. Tom, who plays the titular web-slinging
superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), returned with the third sequel of the Spider-Man series, “Spider-Man: No Way Home”, which has been released on Thursday.

“I don’t
think it’s appropriate for the Spider-Man franchise,” the actor told Yahoo!
Entertainment. “We are still very much young kids. Should there be a future for
this character maybe one day we will explore that. But at the moment, this is a
film about celebrating friendships and young love,” he added.

“Spider-Man:
No Way Home” features Tom Holland as the teenage Peter Parker, alongside actor
Jacob Batalon as his friend Ned Leeds, and Zendaya as MJ, Peter’s girlfriend. Zendaya, meanwhile, said, “Peter Parker is like a little brother.”
Tom added, “No one wants to see Peter Parker having sex! That would be
horrible.”

“Spider-Man:
Far From Home”, the second film in the franchise, ended with Mysterio, played
by Jake Gyllenhaal, revealing to the world that Spider-Man is actually Peter
Parker’s alter-ego.

“Spider-Man:
No Way Home” begins from where it ends in the “Spider-Man: Far From Home” and
sees Peter seeking help from his “Avengers: Endgame” colleague and friend
Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to ensure the world forgets his real
identity. But in an attempt to undo the damage, the Sorcerer Supreme
inadvertently opens up the multiverse, bringing in characters like Doc Ock,
Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman, and Lizard into the MCU.
