Before the start of the ongoing Hollywood Strike, we knew Marvel and Sony were cooking up something delicious with the next Tom Holland-led Spider-Man 4 film, which is set to release sometime either in 2025/2026.
The film had all the elements and story beats figured out; claimed by Marvel Studio's President Kevin Feige, for their next priority was to seek writers to start scripting the film - of course they only made so much progress before the strike commenced.
Twitter user @agtdesign10 took to the platform a few hours ago, and posted a fan-made concept poster for a Spider-Man film titled The Spectacular Spider-Man:
While this is once again, fake... It influences our imagination to contemplate what really could be the perfect story for Tom Holland's Peter Parker's next big adventure; following the consequential events of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Spider-Man 4 is teased to tell a more-grounded story; seeing Peter protecting the streets of New York as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
There are rumors the Daredevil: Born Again series is set to inaugurate the potential story for Spider-Man 4, as Vincent D'onofrio's Kingpin will be running for mayor in New York, and work to pass an anti-vigilante law.
This could serve as the beginning of the much anticipated Kingpin and Spider-Man rivalry, to which Vincent D'onofrio has expressed his interest in seeing adapted - "I have a strong feeling that, and I've said this since I've started the Netflix show, that... eventually, I'm going to kick Spider-Man's ass."
Additionally, Sony's Kraven The Hunter film, which is set to release in August of next year, has teased the film's ending will work as the beginning of Kraven going on the hunt for Spider-Man.
Lastly, the post-credits-scene of Spider-Man: No Way Home showed a small piece of the Venom symbiote remaining in Tom-Holland's Peter Parker's universe, so perhaps the film could finally introduce the MCU Symbiote Spider-Man.
As the ongoing Hollywood Strike continues, Marvel, nor Sony has yet to confirm anything.
