Tom Holland has a track record of struggling to keep secrets, but this time he’s been given the green light to share some exciting news about the upcoming fourth Spider-Man movie. Here’s what we know so far, including Holland’s insights on the script.
In an announcement from Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios, it was revealed that the fourth installment of Spider-Man is currently in the works. Speaking to Entertainment Weekly on February 15, 2023, Feige stated, “All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.” This revelation raises the question of whether Holland was aware of the new script being developed for him, making him the first actor to headline four Spider-Man films. Holland had previously hinted at his continuation as the beloved superhero before the release of “No Way Home.” Though he hasn’t publicly commented on the latest news, it seems he is involved behind the scenes.
Fast forward to October 23, 2024, and Holland was once again sharing details on “The Tonight Show,” but this time with Feige’s approval. He confirmed that production for Spider-Man 4 is set to commence in the summer of 2025. In a separate interview, Holland mentioned that the script made both him and Zendaya feel like they were “bouncing around the living room.”
“The idea is crazy,” Holland said during his appearance on “Good Morning America.” “It’s a little different from anything we’ve done before, but I think the fans are gonna really respond to it.” Speculations abound about the new direction the film might take, including possibilities of a “Spider-Man: the College Years” or a cinematic adaptation of the Clone Saga, leaving fans eager for more details.
