"It's happening. Next summer we start shooting. Everything is good to go, we're nearly there. Super exciting. I can't wait," he said.

Holland revealed on the Rich Roll podcast last week that he had already read a draft of the script with girlfriend, Zendaya.

“I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me,” he said.

“Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room, like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”

Since Holland shot the third movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, he's been through some challenges in his personal life, explaining that he decided to give up drinking around a year ago.

“As any celebrity there's always opportunities to go down the commercial route and build brands," Holland told Fallon.

"I never found anything I was particularly passionate about.

"... I got sober and I got through my first year, which for me was a massive milestone and a huge achievement.

"It needed to happen. I had some very honest conversations with family and friends, got through it and did that first year. I tried to start with a month off and what really scared me was how difficult I found it.

"And then I did a second month, it got no easier, I did a third month and then I said, 'if I can get to June 1st which is my birthday, I will have proved to myself that I don't have a problem'.

"But then by the time I got to June 1st, I felt the benefits of not drinking. I was sleeping better, handling stuff better and I kind of thought the thing that's missing from the equation for me right now is something that could make me feel included in a restaurant, in a bar."

Tom went on to create his own alcohol-free beer, BERO, which is described as 'not a substitute' but a 'gold standard in beer'.

Speaking on Instagram, Holland explained that 'BERO was born out of a personal journey and I couldn’t be prouder to be launching it'.
