After the monumental success of Marvel’s Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021, fans have been patiently waiting for a sequel. The time has come for Spider-Man fans’ rejuvenation, as news surfaced today that talks of Spider-Man 4 have begun.

While fans have always loved Peter Parker’s spidey powers, the distinct reason for No Way Home’s success was the multiversal angle incorporated. The film’s plotline showcased all three popular Spider-Man actors: Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland. Moreover, the multiverse even barged in classic villains from the franchise. Therefore, as the news of Spider-Man 4 travels far and wide, fans anticipate another raging storyline ready to catch them by surprise.

When is Spider-Man 4 coming out?

With the ensemble cast of Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya as MJ, and director Jon Watts to return, Spider-Man 4 production is set to begin in late 2024. Though fans are enthralled, they won’t catch sight of the Spidey anytime soon next year, per IMDb. The primary scoop was given by renowned insider Daniel Richtman on X.

Additionally, the fourth sequel was scheduled to be released in the Summer of 2024. However, owing to the WGA strikes, the scripting and production of the movie had been delayed. As of now, it is eyeing a release in 2025, per IMDb. Details of the plot haven’t unraveled yet, but Holland and Zendaya are ascertained to reprise their roles.

 

After his debut as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, the fourth Spider-Man sequel will be Holland’s seventh feature, the only actor to have reprised the role so many times. According to Marvel.com., Tobey Maguire is also keen on donning the Spidey costume once again. Fans will have to wait and see if the Spider-Man veteran makes an appearance, but until then, they are irked by the delayed release of Spider-Man 4.

Here are some of the reactions:

A two-year distance between the Spider-Man movies had been the norm previously. While the same was expected for the fourth sequel, the strikes had a bigger part to play. Interestingly, Holland disclosed in an interview with GQ, that he is unsure of doing any more Spider-Man movies. More so, he acknowledged the significance of the character while implying that he didn’t intend to play the role after 30.
