It feels like writers Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers don't get anywhere near as much credit as they should for Marvel Studios' Spider-Man franchise. They were two of six credited writers on Spider-Man: Homecoming (the others were director Jon Watts, Christopher Ford, and Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley), but penned both Far From Home and No Way Home by themselves.
What they achieved with the latter is nothing short of amazing, and you have to hope they both return for Spider-Man 4. Unfortunately, neither of the writers know anything about the movie!
"This is one where we don't have to say that we're not allowed to say because we truly don't know," Sommers reveals in the video below. "To my knowledge, I'm not aware of any future projects in the works. That doesn't mean they don't exist, but that's nothing that you know anyone has talked to Chris and I about. I certainly hope so. I love Tom [Holland] as Spider-Man. I hope there's more, and I would love nothing more than to be involved. But at this point, we don't know."
McKenna, meanwhile, joked that Tom Holland filled him in about what comes next when they crossed paths at the Spider-Man: No Way Home afterparty. "So he told me a lot about it, but I just cannot let you know. I'm so sorry...I've been told by Tom, 'Please don't let Erik Sommers know.'"
With Spider-Man 4 in the tentative stages of development, it's most likely true that Sommers and McKenna have yet to be enlisted. Then again, they probably wouldn't say if they had, and are bound to have some ideas about where they'd like to take the wall-crawler next - especially after that ending...
