The 25-year old British actor is glad at the development his Webhead goes through, maturing from a kid to a grown-up:
It really has been the Spider-Boy, and this film is about him becoming Spider-Man. It's about him growing up, making his own decisions, and stepping up to the plate as a full-blown Avenger.
The ending of Spidey's third solo film sees Peter make difficult sacrifices, from coming to terms with Aunt May's death to letting Ned and MJ go.

Holland adds that with Peter's development into an adult, this particular trilogy of the beloved superhero has come to a close:
[No Way Home] is definitely the final chapter in the Homecoming series. Jon Watts has done such a wonderful job of creating this genre of superhero movies that kinda hasn't been told before.
With a new Spider-Man trio of films on the way and now detached from Stark support, we'll see what stories are in store for the New York mascot.
