We have just caught our first glimpse of Holland as Spider-Man in the new trailer for Captain America: Civil War, where the character will be introduced before going on to star in his own solo film.
He is the third actor to take on the role in recent years - following in the footsteps of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield - and we are set to see a much younger Peter Parker this time around.
Gunn has already been raving about Civil War on social media and has taken to Twitter once more to heap praise on Holland's performance in the film.
Just how big a role Spider-Man will have in Captain America: Civil War remains to be seen, but he - along with Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther - are two of the big new additions the Marvel Universe.
A solo Spider-Man movie is set to hit the big screen next year and we could well see him in the upcoming Avengers Infinity War movies.
As for Gunn, is currently back in the director's chair filming the highly anticipated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2, which is due to be one of three Marvel films to be released next year.
As well as being in the director's chair, Gunn has also penned the sequel to the hugely successful 2014 film. The movie will see him reunite with Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel. This week, Sylvester Stallone has become the latest actor to be linked to the project.
Captain America: Civil War is released 29th April.
