This installment shifts the franchise back toward street-level heroism in New York City.
The story follows Peter Parker navigating life after Doctor Strange erased the world's memory of his identity.
Jacob Batalon reflected on his uncertain future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe during a promotional panel.
"Luckily, we're all best friends, so if he's making another one, we're going to be there!" said Batalon.
He noted that the emotional climax of the previous film left things open-ended. "I think a lot of it was left open-ended on purpose.
But at that point, it was really emotional, obviously.
I think we were all grown up enough to know that some things don't get to last forever," said Batalon.
Batalon also spoke about the real-world challenges during production. "But, luckily, we're privileged and lucky enough to be a part of this again.
During that time, specifically… it was a hard time for everyone. I was crying a lot that day," said Batalon.
At the Los Angeles premiere on July 27, Batalon highlighted his bond with Holland and Zendaya.
"It's pretty beautiful to really get to grow with these people who've really become my family. It's amazing," said Batalon.
