Spider-Man 4 is in the works, but the release date remains uncertain. Amy Pascal confirmed a new Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland in May 2023, and Holland mentioned early-stage development in June 2023. The fourth movie faced delays due to a writers' strike in 2023, but Holland indicated in December 2023 that progress is back on track after the strike was resolved. Discussions are ongoing to determine the direction for the character in the fourth installment. Stay tuned for updates on Spider-Man 4.
Previously, there was a two-year gap between each MCU Spider-Man movie. However, Spider-Man 4 won't be arriving in December 2023, suggesting a longer wait. Sony has a potential release date for an unnamed Marvel movie on June 27, 2025, which could be reserved for Tom Holland's Spider-Man, but action needs to commence soon. Alternatively, this date might be for the delayed Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Keep an eye on updates, and we'll provide information as it unfolds.
Is Tom Holland reprising his role as Spider-Man in the cast of Spider-Man 4?
Initially, Tom Holland was uncertain about his future as Peter Parker, expressing the idea of moving on after Spider-Man: No Way Home. He mentioned the importance of considering Peter Parker's role in his life and hinted at a potential departure by saying, "If I'm playing Spider-Man after I'm 30, I've done something wrong." However, he later clarified that he doesn't know what the future holds for Spider-Man, expressing openness to the next chapter. Holland acknowledged the studio's interest in figuring out the future of Spider-Man and stated that if he continues, it's exciting, but he is also prepared to walk away if it's time.
In December 2023, Holland emphasized that a fourth Spider-Man movie wouldn't be created merely for the sake of it. He stressed that it must be meaningful for the character, but he acknowledged his indebtedness to Spider-Man and expressed openness to donning the suit again if they can find a worthwhile story. While there's a possibility of Holland taking on a mentor role, as seen with Miles Morales, there are no hints in No Way Home, leaving it speculative. Zendaya and Jacob Batalon's return as MJ and Ned is anticipated, though the memory loss twist in No Way Home introduces uncertainty. Happy Hogan, aware of Spider-Man's identity, may still play a role.
Marisa Tomei won't be in Spider-Man 4 due to Aunt May's tragic death by the Green Goblin. While the multiverse allows for alternate versions, it seems unlikely. Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire may not reprise their roles, given the resolution of No Way Home. However, with official MCU names, a return isn't impossible. Garfield is open to a unique story-driven team-up. As for Tom Hardy's Eddie Brock/Venom, he appears in the No Way Home credits scene but returns to his own universe, leaving his involvement uncertain.
