RUMOR: SPIDER-MAN 4 Will Be Set In Battleworld...And Could Pay A Visit To Spider-Island!

This weekend's Avengers: Doomsday concept art leak has generated lots of discussion about what the MCU will look like leading into Secret Wars and we now have some intriguing Spider-Man 4 updates...

Rumours continue to swirl about Marvel Studios' plans for Spider-Man 4. Depending on who you believe, Spidey is teaming up with Venom, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, or perhaps even his fellow Spider-Men, played by the returning Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. 

There have been rumblings about Spider-Man 4 being set in Battleworld, particularly as the movie is scheduled to be released between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars.

Scooper @MyTimeToShineH has chimed in following this weekend's concept art leaks for Avengers: Doomsday, reiterating previous reports about Spider-Man 4 being a Battleworld story. The insider suggested we can expect "a lot" of Spider-people in the movie and pointed to Spider-Island being a strong possibility. 

In the Spider-Island comic book event, The Queen teams up with The Jackal and gives everyone in New York City, including other superheroes, their own spider powers.

That's not to say we'll see something similar in Spider-Man 4, of course, but the Big Apple was still part of Doctor Doom's Battleworld in the Secret Wars comic book. So, we could still get a street-level story, albeit with heaps of Multiversal Spidey Variants from throughout the Multiverse. 

Heck, it isn't outside the realm of possibility that Spidey could cross paths with the Man Without Fear in this new version of Manhattan. However, Spider-Man: No Way Home was Sony's biggest movie ever and it's not exactly a surprise to learn the studio wants to recapture the same level of box office success with another Spider-Men team-up. 

Whether the likes of Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales get in on the action remains to be seen, though we've heard some chatter about Spider-Man 4 somehow being tied to the animated Spider-Verse franchise. 

During a recent interview to promote Daredevil: Born Again, Marvel Television boss Brad Winderbaum was asked about how the show references superheroes like Spidey (you can learn more about that here).

Explaining the vague nods were meant as a nod to Netflix's Daredevil, he said, "Those characters are well-known in the world we're you. You don't need to say their names."

As for whether Tom Holland's Spider-Man could appear in a TV series, he confirmed that's likely off the table due to Disney's complicated agreement with Sony Pictures to share the web-slinger. "You know, I'm not sure exactly what the rules are but I think they have longform television rights," Winderbaum revealed. "We can do 30-minute animation, I think."

Spider-Man 4 has been officially dated for July 31, 2026, with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton helming a script penned by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers.

Visit to Spider Island = 3-10 second visual between portal transports.

Spider-Man and Venom will be allies. So, for the final battle, Spider-Man and the symbiote join forces. Finally, Peter returns home with the symbiote.

@Repian -
Pretty much, they are desperate financially so:

Spider-man 4: Venom & Spider-man Team-up (Spider-Island)
Secret Wars: Black Suited Spider-man to boost viewership
Spider-man 5: Thunderbolts Vs Spider-man (New Ways to Die)
Spider-man 6: Knull Vs Spider-man (King In Black/Planet of the Symbiotes)

I want the Jackal to be Richard Parker in "Your friendly neighborhood Spider-man". He could have been imprisoned for illegal experiments, using his son's DNA.

@Repian - I wouldnt mind seeing a connection, but I'd rather see Richard being wrongfully imprisoned behind a setup by the Jackal than him actually being the Jackal.

@Repian - That's the route they went with "Hulk", the pre-MCU movie. It was terrible, but at least in a funny way.

Spider Island? Is that the place where all of those high profile spiders go to web up young spiders? Btw when are the names of the Spider Island guests going to get released? I know the head spider hung himself by his own web (supposedly) but I want more of those arachnids exposed.

@DarthOmega - the hope was that if Thunderbolt Ross won the election, he'd release the Spider Island guest list, but all he did after taking office was give a big flashy binder full of nothing to JJJ...

@DarthOmega - No no no. Spider-Island is a reality show where multiversal Spider-Men go and vote each other off the island.

I'm glad that some characters like Daredevil and Punisher gets their shows on TV instead of in theaters.

Every MCU property getting the movie treatment is moronic trash now. I hope FF4 will prove me wrong, but at this point I would not bet a 1$ that it will.

Let's hope none of that sh!t happens.

Tom Holland Spider-Man is THE MCU billion $ a movie golden goose.

Sony of course can and will kill if they can. But is Disney really stupid enough to let that happen??
