Tom Holland has a reputation for being somewhat loose-lipped, but this time he is encouraged to share news about the upcoming fourth Spider-Man movie. Here’s what we know so far about Tom Holland’s next outing as the iconic superhero and his insights on the script.
On February 15, 2023, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige revealed to Entertainment Weekly that a new Spider-Man film is in the works and a script is currently being developed. 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 raises an interesting question: Did Holland have prior knowledge that a new script was in development, or was he just as surprised by the announcement as fans are? Back in 2019, Holland hinted at wanting to continue portraying Spider-Man before the release of “No Way Home.” While he hasn’t commented on the latest news yet, it seems he might have been involved in the discussions behind the scenes.
By October 23, 2024, during an appearance on The Tonight Show, Holland confirmed that production for the fourth film will commence in the summer of 2025. He described the script as having him and co-star Zendaya “bouncing around the living room,” indicating a fun and exciting storyline. “The idea is crazy,” Holland expressed 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.” This leads to speculation about the direction of the film: Could we expect a story focused on Spider-Man’s college years, an adaptation of the Clone Saga, or an unexpected crossover with another superhero? Only time will tell.
