In short, shooting nan MCU movie and releasing it successful cinemas worldwide is going to beryllium a tight turnaround. Let's dream Sony and Marvel tin propulsion it disconnected without forcing its formed and unit to crunch.

Spider-Man 4 trailer: is location one?

Surprising nary 1 a Spider-Man 4 trailer isn't disposable yet. In our view, we won't spot 1 until early 2026, either. We'll update this conception erstwhile a trailer is released.

Spider-Man 4 cast: confirmed and rumored

Sony and Marvel haven't announced who'll look successful Spider-Man 4 yet, but here's who we expect to do so:

• Tom Holland arsenic Peter Parker/Spider-Man
• Zendaya arsenic MJ

As nan existent incumbent of Spidey's legendary red-and-blue superhero suit, Holland is nailed connected to prima successful his 4th solo MCU film. In an October 2024 version of nan Rich Roll podcast, Holland namedropped Zendaya and heavy implied that his real-life girlfriend, who played MJ successful Spider-Man's 3 erstwhile standalone MCU films, will person a supporting domiciled successful nan movie. The Hollywood Reporter besides claims Zendaya has softly signed connected to appear. Jacob Batalon's Ned, aka Peter Parker's champion friend, could besides feature, but his sanction hasn't been bandied astir for illustration Holland and Zendaya's have.

That trio aside, it's unclear which different Marvel characters will show up. We'll dive into this much successful our crippled conception but, depending connected really Avengers: Doomsday ends, immoderate of nan webslinger's chap heroes could besides appear. There's erstwhile shape for them doing so, specified arsenic Doctor Strange having a mini but important domiciled successful Spider-Man: No Way Home. Expect Spider-Man 4 to likewise see different MCU heroes if it's a sequel to Avengers 5 and precursor to Avengers: Secret Wars.

If – and it's a large if – Spider-Man's 4th standalone MCU outing isn't a multiverse-centric film, it could present caller characters from nan webhead's illustrious comic book history. Such individuals could see Harry Osborn, Amadeus Cho, and moreover nan MCU's type of Gwen Stacy.

Spider-Man 4 crippled speculation

Full spoilers travel for Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man 4 doesn't person a communicative synopsis correct now, but location are a fewer things we already cognize astir it.

For starters, nan screenplay is still being written, but Holland seems incredibly excited astir nan plot's direction. Speaking connected nan Rich Roll podcast, Holland said: "It needs work, but nan writers are doing a awesome job. I publication it 3 weeks agone and it really lit a occurrence successful me. Zendaya and I sat down, publication it together, and, astatine times, we were bouncing astir nan surviving room". Briefly elaborating connected that reply to Good Morning America, Holland added: "The thought is crazy. It's a small different to thing we've done before, but I deliberation nan fans are gonna really respond to it."

To us, nan building "a small different" makes it sound for illustration nan MCU's 4th Spider-Man movie will re-tread aged ground. Given it'll beryllium sandwiched betwixt Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, nan astir logical presumption we tin make is that it'll beryllium different multiversal matter for Holland's wallcrawler. The 2021 Spider-Man: No Way Home brought 3 generations of Spider-Men together, arsenic good arsenic various villains from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's stints arsenic nan iconic superhero, truthful it's highly improbable we'll get a c transcript of that narrative. Given No Way Home has made almost $2 cardinal astatine nan world container agency (per Box Office Mojo), though, we could surely spot Sony and Marvel trying to get Maguire and Garfield connected committee for different money-spinning team-up film.

For what it's worthy Garfield has rejected claims he'll look successful Spider-Man 4, telling IndieWire: "I mean, for illustration nan net is simply a large place. I deliberation there’s a batch of group who will conscionable opportunity thing to get clicks. So you mightiness person been duped [about maine appearing], I’m afraid."

Regardless of whether Maguire and Garfield show up if Spider-Man 4 is group betwixt Doomsday and Secret Wars, its communicative will beryllium dictated by immoderate happens successful nan former. Indeed, Avengers 5 could return inspiration from 2015's Secret Wars comic storyline, which sees Victor von Doom – played by nary different than erstwhile Iron Man prima Robert Downey Jr. – go God Emperor of nan Marvel multiverse and create Battleworld, a patchwork satellite comprising fragments from aggregate Earths pursuing nan multiverse's collapse. Spider-Man could besides get his iconic achromatic symbiote suit arsenic portion of Doomsday's plot, which he acquired successful a different Secret Wars comic bid that debuted successful 1984.

On nan off-chance that it isn't a multiverse-based film, however, Spidey's adjacent silver-screen escapade could beryllium a much grounded, almost street-level offering. Indeed, No Way Home's ending, which saw Doctor Strange formed a spell that made nan full world hide Peter Parker was Spider-Man, allowed nan titular characteristic to spell backmost to being nan friends vicinity leader he was earlier being thrust into nan limelight successful 2016's Captain America: Civil War.

There are a mates of stand-out, non-multiverse directions that Spider-Man 4's crippled could spell in, then, if Sony and Marvel determine not to make No Way Home 2.0. One action is seeing Peter enroll astatine a New York-based assemblage and wed his crimefighting profession pinch his studies, each nan while keeping tabs connected MJ, who besides forgot that Peter was Spider-Man erstwhile Strange's spell was cast.

Another anticipation is Peter gets employed as, say, a photographer astatine The Daily Bugle, combines his 2 jobs, and tangles pinch much villains/anti-heroes from his iconic comic book rogues gallery, specified arsenic Green Goblin, Doc Ock, and Black Cat. Alternatively, Sony and Marvel could make fans' dreams travel existent by teaming up Spider-Man and Daredevil connected nan large surface to return down Wilson Fisk/Kingpin. With Daredevil: Born Again group to debut successful March 2025, whether it's unsighted optimism aliases not, we aren't ruling retired this anticipation – particularly aft they concisely crossed paths successful No Way Home.

How will Spider-Man 4 group up Avengers: Secret Wars?

It's arsenic unclear if Tom Holland will return for an unprecedented 5th solo outing successful nan MCU post-Secret Wars. The A-lister has spoken of his desire to thief bring Miles Morales – nan Spider-Man who exists successful Marvel's Ultimate comic book beingness – to nan MCU, which whitethorn beryllium imaginable if Avengers 6 causes a complete reset of Marvel's cinematic juggernaut arsenic we cognize it.
