Tom Holland hints at retirement as Spider-Man, says he is ‘content swinging off into the sunset’ after Brand New Day

Actor Tom Holland is willing to hang up the mask and costume of Spider-Man and call it a day as the friendly neighbourhood superhero. Ahead of the release of his fourth solo film as the web-slinger, Tom said that he is content ‘swinging off into the sunset’ after this, opening the doors for a new Spider-Man on the big screen. Spider-Man: Brand New Day arrives in theaters on July 31, 2026, with Tom Holland reprising his role as the web-slinging hero. (X/@notgwendalupe) Speaking with Empire Magazine ahead of the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Tom Holland reflected on what the future could look like for the franchise. “For whoever’s next, whether that is a Miles Morales or a Spider-Gwen or a Spider-Woman or something like that, I would love to be a part of setting up the next chapter. Whatever that looks like, I don’t know,” the actor said. Comparing his journey to that of Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Holland added, “But, if I could do what Downey did for me, then …

Prabhsimran gets rushed into strokes against high pace, but can’t stop swinging unwisely | Cricket News

Prabhsimran gets rushed into strokes against high pace, but can’t stop swinging unwisely | Cricket News

3 min readApr 28, 2026 11:01 PM IST Prabhsimran Singh’s batting isn’t likely to win many points for elegance. Not that it would bother him. The role assigned to him, and his opening partner Priyansh Arya, by the Punjab Kings team management is that of a battering ram, kamikaze-style operation, in which their survival is hardly a concern. On Tuesday against Rajasthan Royals, the left-handed Arya was repeatedly found out by pace, with both full length and short deliveries, before he inevitably perished. Throughout his torrid stay – though his team would argue that an 11-ball 29 served the purpose – as he evaded the fielders and benefited from a dropped chance, he refused to acknowledge that an alternate approach was possible. It points to the apparent lack of nuance and subtlety in T20 batting, especially at the start of an innings. Once his partner had departed, it fell on Prabhsimran to keep the run rate at an acceptable rate for Punjab Kings – remember this is a team that chased down 264 with more …

Swinging to win: ‘The Invite’ delivers comedy gold at Sundance

Swinging to win: ‘The Invite’ delivers comedy gold at Sundance

Most marriages have those moments: people are coming for dinner; one of you isn’t really in the mood. But not everyone finds out that their guests are into raucous group sex and want you to join them. Swinging to win: ‘The Invite’ delivers comedy gold at Sundance Olivia Wilde’s blisteringly funny “The Invite” explores what happens when a husband and wife who have long since tired of each other find themselves sitting down with a couple very much in the throes of passion. The film plunges Joe and Angela and Pina and Hawk into a pressure cooker of awkward small talk, simmering anger, and sexual tension with comedic and relatable results. “Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship of any kind, I think will recognize some of these themes,” Wilde told AFP at the Sundance Film Festival, where the movie had its premiere Saturday. “We made this as a playful piece to allow people to laugh and get in touch with their feelings, maybe a little bit.” Joe, whose band had a minor hit two …

Cabin Began Swinging & All Crashed Down! A Ropeway, Built At Cost Of ₹13,00,00,000, In THIS State Collapsed During…

A major setback occurred in Rohtas district, Bihar, as the ropeway being constructed to connect Akbarpur with Rohtasgarh Fort collapsed during its trial run. The system, intended to boost tourism and ease travel to the historic fort, suffered a complete structural failure.(Photo: Instagram) The ropeway project, costing around Rs 13 crore, had been under construction by Bihar Rajya Pul Nirman Nigam Limited (BRPNNL) for several years. Engineers and technical experts were present during the trial and thankfully, the cabin was empty at the time of the collapse. (Photo: X/@IndexBihar) The cabin began its journey from Akbarpur towards Rohtasgarh Fort when one of the primary supporting pillars collapsed. And within moments, other pillars and ropeway started losing balance with the impact. (Photo: X/@IndexBihar) Residents and officials who were present during the trial were shocked as the swing cabin, along with ropes, pulleys and other machinery, crashed down. The collapse ruined hopes that tourists would soon be able to travel the 70-kilometer route to the fort in just a few minutes. (Photo: X/@IndexBihar) “A team of officials …

India vs South Africa: Early alarm, light breakfast, late lunch, ball swinging for longer: Welcome to Guwahati | Cricket News

India vs South Africa: Early alarm, light breakfast, late lunch, ball swinging for longer: Welcome to Guwahati | Cricket News

Test cricket’s maiden arrival in the Northeast, with the second India-South Africa contest at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati starting on Saturday, tags along a few quirks and potentially disconcerting tweaks. Due to the location of the country’s 30th Test venue and its unique relationship with India’s single time zone, players will have to be up and about earlier than is routine elsewhere in the country and the world. The alarm clocks can wind backwards and the dietary intakes need to be re-calibrated for this particular occasion. The nip in the air could also offer a snag or two, neutralising the home team’s supposed familiarity with the conditions, just like an undercooked wicket did in Kolkata. Story continues below this ad The first delivery is scheduled to land within a minute past 9 am. Overriding red-ball Test match conventions, an early Tea will be served at 11 am before the Lunch break at 1:20 pm, with the host board striving to accommodate as much of the Northeast’s fast-fading winter sunshine to accommodate the stipulated 90 …

RR vs MI: How Vaibhav Suryavanshi fell for a duck by a swinging ball from Deepak Chahar | Ipl News

“He has to learn to deal with failures,” Ian Bishop screamed as Vaibhav Suryavanshi stood, hands on hip, in disappointment after getting dismissed for a zero against Mumbai Indians. It was the swinging ball from Deepak Chahar that did the trick. The first ball had been fuller, an attempted yorker that he dug out to the off side. In the last game , his sensational hundred was ended by a yorker from Prasidh Krishna. The next ball from Chahar was full, but not yorker length. But it started from outside leg stump and moved to outside off. Vaibhav went for the big leg side shot but the bat handle turned in his hands, and he couldn’t clear midon.

Pat Cummins: Happy that SRH batting is calculated aggression and not reckless or swinging blindly | Ipl News

As SunRisers Hyderabad take on Gujarat Titans in the battle of the two best stylishly kitted-out teams of the IPL, their three losses on a trot seem to have deflated some of the hype that was building around them breaking the 300 barrier. Skipper Pat Cummins says, he’s happy his bludgeons are capable of striking at 200, and there’s a method to the madness. Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan haven’t really taken off since the first match where they got 280 odd. But Pat Cummins isn’t stressed. “Look it started out with pretty much as well as we could’ve played which is great for new squad and then next two games haven’t gone to plan or been our best. Probably haven’t had the luck you sometimes hope for. We would like to have more mins but pretty happy with how the group is going. Everyone’s really positive. Still a long way to go in the tournament,” Cummins told SRH socials. Though the 300 hasn’t shown up yet, Cummins had faith in the batting …

David Warner Goes Out Swinging As Australia Sweep Pakistan Series

Australia beat Pakistan by eight wickets with David Warner scoring a pulsating 57 in his farewell Test match in Sydney on Saturday to sweep the series 3-0. Warner, playing in his 112th Test, was dismissed at his home Sydney Cricket Ground before an adoring crowd just 11 runs short of victory. The opener was out with the job almost done after losing a review for lbw to spinner Sajid Khan. Warner was congratulated by the Pakistan players and waved his bat acknowledging the cheering crowd as he left the SCG for the last time. It was a typical aggressive innings from Warner, known as “The Bull”, coming off 75 balls with seven fours, replete with crashing drives and audacious reverse sweeps. At the close Australia were 130-2, Marnus Labuschagne unbeaten on 62 in his 19th Test half-century and Steve Smith on four. Warner finished his Test career as he began it in 2011 in typical pugnacious style.
