Most fans agree that Marvel Studios' Spider-Man trilogy was a huge win for the iconic web-slinger, but some decisions were made along the way which didn't sit well with a lot of longtime fans.
For starters, putting Peter Parker in a technologically advanced suit made by Iron Man saw the hero dubbed "Iron Boy." The hero becoming an Avenger was also a far cry from the years Spidey spent as an outcast from his fellow heroes. However, Spider-Man: No Way Home ended on a very comic-accurate note.
No longer remembered by the world, Peter - now living in Manhattan - donned a homemade suit minus any Stark Industries technology and set out to protect the Big Apple as a street-level superhero.
Talking in Spider-Man: No Way Home - The Art of the Movie, director Jon Watts explained how his trilogy ultimately serves as an extended origin story for the classic version of the wall-crawler.
"When we were doing 'Homecoming,' the discussions were always about how we do something that you haven't seen before with Peter Parker," the filmmaker says. "That steers you down a couple different paths.
"[It] leads you to doing things like having his best friend find out his identity, and having his aunt find out, and then, at the end of the last movie, having the whole world find out."
"So that was a fun thing to play with these new aspects. But in the end, you know, it was nice to be able to have everything coalesce into, at its essence, the simple story of Spider-Man," Watts concludes. "We just really all took our time telling the first issue of 'Spider-Man' - that origin story."
Prior to the WGA strike beginning, Spider-Man 4 had begun taking shape. Rumour has it the movie will see Peter team up with Daredevil to battle The Kingpin, telling a classic Spidey story without any world-ending threats or a helping hand from Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Despite that, Tom Holland's Spider-Man is expected to be one of Avengers: The Kang Dynasty's lead characters.
Spider-Man 4 doesn't currently have a release date.
