'Spider-Man 4': Latest developments on cast, story, release date
Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) director Kevin Feige recently shared insights into the upcoming installment of the Spider-Man franchise, starring Tom Holland. In an interview with Io9, Feige revealed that a draft of the script for Spider-Man 4 is due to be submitted soon and finalized by year's end. While this information is enough to send fans into a frenzy, we gather all the major updates on this upcoming offering.
What did Feige reveal about the upcoming movie?
Feige revealed that he is collaborating with Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal, who has been instrumental in the live-action adaptations. He noted, "Amy and I are working on it. We have writers who are going to be delivering us a draft relatively soon." With the last two Spider-Man films featuring Holland each surpassing $1B at the global box office, expectations are high that the next installment will follow suit, potentially accelerating Marvel and Disney's momentum.
When will 'Spider-Man 4' be released?
The Spider-Man trilogy, starring Holland, has followed a consistent release pattern with a new movie every two years. The first film, Spider-Man: Homecoming, was released in 2017, followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home in 2019 and Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. Based on this pattern and MCU's already planned line-up for 2025, the fourth installment is speculated to hit theaters sometime in 2026. However, official confirmation is still awaited.
Plot to focus on Peter Parker's life
The upcoming Spider-Man movie is expected to be released before Avengers 5, focusing on Peter Parker's life after the events of the previous film. The plot will revolve around Parker's struggles without Iron Man's technology or support from his friends or family. This narrative direction follows the last Spider-Man movie and Avengers: Endgame, where Peter lost Iron Man's guidance and was completely removed from the town's memory.
