- "Spider-Man" actor Tony Revolori said he's open to reprising his role as Flash if he's asked to return.
- Back in December, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed a fourth movie was in the works.
- Revolori said he'd want to explore Flash more and "see who he is behind the cell phone."
"Spider-Man" star Tony Revolori isn't sure if his character Flash Thompson will be part of the franchise's future, but he's up for reprising the role.
"I would love to revisit the character," Revolori told Insider in a new interview. "He's someone that I hold dear. Being a brown man, getting to play this role is important. I had a wonderful time doing it and I'd love to keep doing it if they'd have me."
Revolori made his debut as Flash, a rich kid and high-school bully of Peter Parker (played by Tom Holland) in Jon Watts' 2017 Spidey reboot called "Spider-Man: Homecoming."
The "Grand Budapest" actor reprised his role for the 2019 sequel, "Spider-Man: Far From Home, which followed the titular teen web-slinger on a class trip to Europe.
Throughout the movie, Flash kept his social-media followers, also known as the Flash Mob, abreast of adventures via livestreams and videos. But there were also brief scenes that alluded to Flash having a strained relationship with his parents.
Revolori returned as Flash in the third movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (2021), which picked up immediately after the world found out that Peter is Spider-Man at the end of "Far From Home."
In an attempt to boost his popularity, Flash claimed to be best friends with Peter and released a memoir titled "Flashpoint," about their "inspiring friendship."
In December, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed to the New York Times that a fourth "Spider-Man" film is actively in development.
Five months later, Sony chairman Tom Rothman told Deadline he was optimistic that the studio would start working on the movie soon, hopefully with Watts, Holland, and Zendaya returning.
No additional details have been revealed since regarding the plot or cast and crew, but Revolori would be interested in digging deeper into his character, especially given the adventures Flash goes on in the Marvel comics.
"I'd want to push the character into further new depth," he told Insider.
"Hopefully they ask me back, and if they do, hopefully we also can explore a little bit more Flash and see who he is behind the cell phone."
