Tom Holland has confirmed he is definitely returning for a fourth instalment in his run of Spider-Man films.

Tom has also appeared in Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame as the 'friendly neighborhood superhero'.

And now Tom revealed the exciting news during an appearance at the Sands International Film Festival in St. Andrews, Scotland on Monday. 

He said: 'The simple answer is that I'll always want to do Spider-Man films. I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So the simple answer is yes. I'll always want to do more.'

'We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be. But until we've cracked it, we have a legacy to protect. The third movie was so special in so many ways that we need to make sure we do the right thing.'

'This is the first time in this process that I've been part of the creative so early. It's just a process where I'm watching and learning. It's just a really fun stage for me. Like I said, everyone wants it to happen. But we want to make sure we're not overdoing the same things,' he added.

Director Sam Raimi recently addressed rumours that Tom might return to the upcoming film but stated that he had not heard anything official from Marvel about the project.

During the event, Tom made a rare appearance with his lookalike younger brother Harry as they beamed fir snaps. 

The actor cut a casual figure in a beige open neck polo top and matching chinos. 

Meanwhile his younger brother, 25, opted for a simple white T-shirt, black cardigan and jeans. 

Tom, who has poked fun at his height in the past, looked to be slightly smaller than his younger brother, as they showcased their uncanny resemblance with the same mop of brown hair. 

Attending the opening night of the festival, earlier in the day the pair also enjoyed a round of golf as they took part in the first annual Tom Holland Charity Golf Tournament.

The tournament benefits The Brothers Trust and the Sands: International Film Festival of St. Andrews.

As the brother's beamed in snaps they were also joined by Tom‘s Marvel director Joe Russo as well as Fortnite co-creator Donald Mustard.

Tom and Harry are two of four brothers, as Harry also has a twin, Sam, and they have a younger brother Paddy, 18.

The foursome were seen together last September as they headed to the celebrity Pro-Am golf tournament at the Wentworth Golf Club in Virginia Water, Surrey. 

Following in their big brother's footsteps, both Harry and Paddy are also pursuing acting careers, especially Harry who is often spotted alongside Tom on various film sets. 

He has made appearances in several of Tom's recent movies including The Impossible, Spider-Man: No Way Home and Cherry.  He also directed the 2020 short film Roses for Lily.
