Kevin Feige Doesn't Want Fans To Panic; Confirms SPIDER-MAN 4 Is In Active Development

Producer Amy Pascal may have recently "confirmed" plans for another Spider-Man trilogy, but Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige has now revealed that they're working with Sony Pictures on Spider-Man 4...

When Spider-Man: Far From Home was in post-production, Disney/Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures parted ways, and the wall-crawler left the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We didn't learn what happened until months later, but a tremendous amount of backlash from fans and filmmakers alike ultimately led to the creation of a new deal...for one more solo movie and a cameo appearance.

With Spider-Man: No Way Home now playing in theaters, moviegoers are already fretting about the character's MCU future. It doesn't help that Tom Holland keeps talking about bidding farewell to the role, but Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige reassured fans in an interview with The New York Times.

"Amy and I and Disney and Sony are talking about - yes, we’re actively beginning to develop where the story heads next, which I only say outright because I don’t want fans to go through any separation trauma like what happened after 'Far From Home,'" Feige confirmed, referring to Spider-Man 4. "That will not be occurring this time."

Spider-Man franchise producer Amy Pascal added to that (and we're giving you a spoiler warning here), teasing where Peter Parker's story could go next. "At the end of the movie we just made, you see Spider-Man make a momentous decision, one that you’ve never seen him make before. It’s a sacrifice. And that gives us a lot to work with for the next film."

We're sure Holland will return for Spider-Man 4, though the actor likely does want to take a break now. No one can blame him for that, but we're sure Sony Pictures will want this in theaters by 2024/2025 at the very latest. Jon Watts is unlikely to direct...unless he jumps straight back into Spidey's world from Fantastic Four (we're not sure the timings would work for that, though).

In this same interview, Pascal pointed out that they won't be looking to top Spider-Man: No Way Home with a bigger movie, so what would you like to see from the franchise moving forward?

Well, that's as close to confirmation of a Spiderman 4 as we need. Great to hear that they are closing in on an official path forward! Really excited to see where we go from here.

@TheAstoundingMan - they have to do DD next, for obvious spoiler-y reasons.

@TheAstoundingMan - if they don’t utilize a street level story with Daredevil and Kingpin, that would be a huge missed opportunity

@MrDandy - To hell with street-level. DD works better fighting multiversal space monkeys that want to destroy the world's oceans.

@AzorAhai - That's such a stupid thing to say: there's no such thing as space "monkeys" in the MCU...

...they're apes.

@MrDandy - Didn't Tom say he wanted a more grounded story in the next films?

I always think it’s weird when an actor says they want to take a break, like I get having that feeling in the midst of a grueling promotional campaign, but then after the movie comes out you might have a year or more before you need to film another movie, isn’t that just like a perfect built-in break?

@TheUnworthyThor - I think he’s really just adding ammo for his contract negotiations. I think once he secures the bag his tune will change

@TheUnworthyThor - So if you watch the Marvel Legends Making of Shang Chi, Simu Liu expresses his exhaustion, frustration, and anxiety from filming and constantly staying in shape for the role. It became mentally draining. And combine that with a long drawn out promotional tour where the actor barely has any sleep and has to be up at various times due to different time zones. It becomes exhausting.

@TheUnworthyThor - Spider-Man isn't all he's doing and even that he's done a lot of and is set to do more of.

I wonder how fast it'll be out. After NWH I can't help but feel it'll be 3-4 years this time around.

@Nightwing1015 - I’m gonna predict it will be in the same year as Shang Chi 2. Don’t ask me bout Eternals 2, I really want to see what happens with the loose ends, even if it ain’t in their own movie.
HeavyMetal4Life
HeavyMetal4Life - 12/17/2021, 7:51 PM
@Nightwing1015 - I predict three years.

MrDandy - 12/17/2021, 7:59 PM
@Nightwing1015 - sounds like Holland wants a bit of a break so I’m betting 3 years instead of the usual 2

@MrDandy -

Most likely 2 to 3 years will pass and thats enough time to work your way up to a university.

@TheUnworthyThor - ahhhh I love that they left things off to take a lot inspiration from the PS4 games. Being on his own with no money, the apartment downtown, the police scanner, making his own suit. Just perfect.

I feel like it needs a different director for where it’s headed now.
Who that could be is another matter entirely….

No way John watts will be directing Spider-Man 4 and fantastic four. It has to be one or the other

@PantherKing - he will have F4.

Hoping to see the film tomorrow or on Tuesday.

Great news!! After how NWH ended, I'm looking forward to how this story continues.

Great, if expected, news.
Who is everyone thinking we are going to see next?

I'm guessing black suit either in next solo or the inevitable Secret Wars movie, and villain wise thinking Scorpion, Mr Negative, Black Cat, Kraven, and then Venom.

But personally I would love to see the Spot lmao
