Tom Holland is coming back in Spider-Man 4, a new Marvel movie. Even though he worries he might be getting too old for the part, he’s still returning. We don’t know if any other actors from past Spider-Man films will join him.
In “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Holland’s character, Peter Parker, made the multiverse collapse. To fix it, Doctor Strange had to erase everyone’s memory of Peter Parker.
The movie ended with Parker unable to connect with his girlfriend, MJ, or his best friend, Ned. It might be interesting to see how he handles life without them. But because Holland has great chemistry with Zendaya and Jacob Batalon, the movie might try to bring them back.
Holland has shown interest in introducing Miles Morales to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) as Parker’s successor. Since Miles’ uncle, Aaron Davis, appeared in “Homecoming,” played by Donald Glover, it’s possible Morales could take over as the new Spider-Man.
As fans get ready for another Spider-Man movie, with the entire live-action franchise returning to UK cinemas, it’s clear that people want more Peter Parker.
When will “Spider-Man 4” be released?
There’s no release date yet for the next Spider-Man movie. Marvel’s Kevin Feige announced in February 2023 that the story for the fourth Spider-Man film is set, and the writers are working on it. This could mean the movie will be out sooner than expected.
In an interview in July 2024, Feige said he’s “working on it” with longtime Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal.
What has Tom Holland said?
In December 2023, speaking to the Critics Choice Association, Holland said he’d love to return as Spider-Man if they can find the “right” story.
He said, “I won’t make another one just for the sake of it. It has to be worth it for the character… But if we can figure that out, I’d be foolish not to wear the suit again because I owe everything to Spider-Man. I love the character and the people I work with.”
In April 2024, Holland told Deadline that “everyone wants it to happen” and that Marvel has “the best in the business” working on the film.
“The simple answer is that I’ll always want to make Spider-Man films,” he said. “I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So yes, I’ll always want to do more.”
He added, “We have the best people working on whatever the story will be. But until we’ve figured it out, we have a legacy to protect. The third movie was special in so many ways, so we need to make sure we do it right.”
Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned Leeds, Peter’s best friend, was secretive in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter in May 2024.
“Well, my friends definitely hear the Spider-Man 4 rumors,” he said. “My friends are always asking me questions, but personally, I don’t really hear anything. I only hear things that might happen, but I don’t really pay attention to rumors.”
What is the plot of “Spider-Man 4”?
One critique of the previous MCU Spider-Man movies is that Peter Parker always needed a mentor like Iron Man, Nick Fury, or Doctor Strange. Now that no one in the universe knows who Peter Parker is, he might finally be on his own. With J. Jonah Jameson, played by J.K. Simmons, back, the public might not trust Spider-Man.
It’s not clear how much the plot will tie into the multiverse saga. Holland hasn’t confirmed if he’ll be in another Marvel movie since “No Way Home.” But since that movie introduced the multiverse, it would make sense for him to appear again.
