SPIDER-MAN 4 Now Rumored To Be An "AVENGERS-Level Event" As More Details About The MCU's Future Surface

A new rumour points to Spider-Man 4 being an even bigger movie than expected, while we also have some supposed intel on Marvel Studios' Armor War and Hulk plans. Find the latest on what's happening here...

Earlier this week, the news broke that Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton will helm Spider-Man 4 for Marvel Studios. 

The movie is expected to begin production early next year and will likely arrive in theaters in the summer of 2026 (placing it right between Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars). Much has been said about what the Spider-Man: No Way Home follow-up will ultimately look like but a new rumour points to it being a big movie. 

According to supposed insider @MyTimeToShineH, "Spider-Man 4 is going to be an Avengers-level event." That's all we have for now, but this certainly lends some weight to the belief that Tom Holland will reunite with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield.

The scooper has also said Armor Wars is "on hold" and claims we won't get a Hulk movie until after Avengers: Secret Wars, a pretty solid indication that Marvel Studios has delayed its World War Hulk plans. 

Back to the wall-crawler, and The Cosmic Circus also recently shared a few very interesting teases about what's in store for Spider-Man 4

Alex Perez pointed out during a recent Q&A that "a movie can have multiversal elements and still be a street-level story" and called the project a "blend" of both. Hammerhead may also be on the way to the MCU, but more crucially, Doctor Strange's spell will be further explored "and eventually broken."

Peter Parker gaining the alien suit has been described as an "increasingly high possibility," while the current plan is still for Spider-Man to have a major presence in Avengers: Doomsday

Alongside Holland, Zendaya is expected to reprise her role as MJ in Spider-Man 4. Sydney Sweeny is rumoured to be playing Black Cat, and it's been widely reported - but not confirmed - that Charlie Cox, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Paul Rudd will appear as Daredevil, The Kingpin, and Ant-Man. 

During a recent interview, Jon Watts broke his silence on moving on from the MCU by admitting he's all too aware that following Spider-Man: No Way Home will be near impossible. 

"That was such a specific moment in time, and the reaction to that movie was just so unbelievable," he says, explaining he came to the realisation that, "It’s never going to be like this, ever again."

"I was just getting started and Marvel came along - and I take full creative ownership over all those films - but Spider-Man is always going to be Stan Lee and Steve Ditko‘s creation," Watts added. "[Wolfs] was the chance for me to go back to my voice and my vision and my style. Wolfs is mine, and that’s a really good feeling."

Stay tuned for updates on Spider-Man 4 as we have them.

i'd prefer a story where spidey saves the day instead of the world.

@harryba11zack - They apparently don't understand that. Instead we get the spectacular amazing web of captain universe going into the spiderverse... I miss the ol' WS and CW days. Not everything needs to be an avengers level threat.

@harryba11zack - you and me both. Spidey works better on a smaller scale. Stan Lee created one of his most relatable characters and they've kinda stripped that away from him by making the stakes big rather than personal and meaningful.

I'm hoping they mean it will have Shang Chi, Daredevil, and a few other street level characters all fighting against Kingpin and some other hired villains. Maybe even Thunderbolts. It could be a loose adaption of the Devils Reign storyline.

Sounds like exactly the wrong approach to me. Go street level, make it character driven

I hope we get to finally see the Symbiote torment from Peter's perspective.

Give him Sam Rami stylized delusions, with a Nightmare on Elm Street nod, that begins as a confidence boost in Parker's personality, but ends in a nonstop lash out on friend/foe/family as Spider-Man tries to decipher reality from illusion....

LOL, Marvel has changed the narrative of movie expectations.

Avengers level... lol

Which level? Assemble or Age of Ultron or Infinity War or Endgame??

What a load of bollocks.

Bear with me. I'm sick and tired of Spiderman when other characters need movies.

For [frick]s sake, how many do we need?

What exactly will you pull off with Spiderman in the lead that will beat Avengers?

Didn't we see that in the Across the Spider-verse?? For [frick]s sake

Didn’t MTTS just say that that the movie will be Spidey fighting villains in NYC?.

Granted that could still turn out to be a grand event if it has multiversal elements while being street level but I feel people are just saying shit and no one really knows for certain what’s going on which is fine to admit.

I still think if the Last Dance doesn’t retcon it then they should use the symbiote from the end of NWH since it was perfect setup imo..

Have Peter struggle to adjust to his new status quo and deal with his loneliness which might create some anger which could perfectly play into the symbiote showing up & taking him over.

If it was me, keep it grounded and small. It's a new trilogy. They have to earn a no way home 2.

Seems like most of us fans want street level vs multiverse.

But Sony and Disney don’t care what we want.

They want that big movie and those NWH box office returns.

Just have to accept it for what it is. Hopefully it’s good and not a big old mess.

EskimoJ - 9/11/2024, 4:47 PM
@mountainman - Haven't they said multiple times this is Sony's desire whereas Feige wants to keep it small?
mountainman
mountainman - 9/11/2024, 4:54 PM
@EskimoJ - I’ve seen that too. It’s all heresay at this point. It’ll be nice once we get some concrete details.

@mountainman - i dont trust a f*cking Word said by that cheap phony ass "scooper" so i have hope still it wont be a multiverse shitshow
Nolanite
Nolanite - 9/11/2024, 4:41 PM
So another attempt to cash in on having a million cameos and pointless storytelling?
So glad that I absolutely hate and despise the emm she ewe for reasons like this.
I sure hope that the DCU strays far away from this formula.
Hopefully the general public picks up on this shitty approach and boycotts their movies eventually.
Nolanite out

I’m torn on this.
On one hand I do want a grounded , street level , or at else New York level Spidey story. The set up is PERFECT. And it would have been so cool if Sony hadn’t used Kraven already , because literally he was the perfect antagonist for a Spiider-Man 4. But Sony fricks everything up as we know.

On the other hand, I’d really like to see Tobey and Andrew back , they really just were so fun to watch , and I really think they could do more with them.

But idk, this is a tough one and they have to be careful.
They’re at a high point with Spidey currently , latest live action movie made almost 2 billion and the Spider-verse movies have been so popular , so this movie will either bring the hype up to infinity and beyond , or bring it back down to Andrew Garfield’s movies level.

cubrn - 9/11/2024, 7:47 PM
@MisterDoctor217 - I want them back too but the logical way to have them back again is in Secret Wars. Build the hype.
MisterDoctor217
MisterDoctor217 - 9/11/2024, 8:41 PM
@cubrn -

Yes I think that would be better , and see them with the other avengers too
TheRationalNerd
TheRationalNerd - 9/11/2024, 5:21 PM
I could see them using elements from Devil's Reign by having multiversal members of the Sinister Six come in to hunt down vigilantes. You'd be able to utilize the street level heroes for a "Street Level Civil War" bases film
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 9/11/2024, 5:38 PM
I mean, original rumors were that he plays a heavy role in The Kang Dynasty. Would make sense if his film led into the upcoming and long-awaited (since 2019) next Avengers movie. Plus with Downey playing Doom there is some gold to be mined there just on recognizing his face
TheVisionary25
TheVisionary25 - 9/11/2024, 5:44 PM
@IAmAHoot - yep , that’s is right

I can see him being a central character in those films for that exact reason
HistoryofMatt
HistoryofMatt - 9/11/2024, 5:41 PM
The only other hero that should be in the next Spider-Man movie is Daredevil as they take on the Kingpin of Crime in a street-level, gritty Spider-Man movie. Maybe throw in The Punisher, too. I'd be good with that. No more magic. No more multiverse. No more b.s.

THIS IS SPIDER-MAN FOR GOODNESS SAKES! THE BEST EVER MARVEL CHARACTER! HE DOESN'T NEED ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES!!!

Thing94 - 9/11/2024, 5:45 PM
Symbiote and Knull I see that as an Avengers level event

Enough with the multiversal shenanigans. Why can't we have the new york street level crime for spidey in MCU?
IAmAHoot
IAmAHoot - 9/11/2024, 6:21 PM
@Gabimaru - Cause this is The Multiverse Saga, and this will be the 2nd Spidey film in it. There were also 2 in The Infinity Saga. And I'm guessing you didn't read the article since there is nothing to emphasize multiversal shenanigans.
eagc1995
eagc1995 - 9/11/2024, 11:40 PM
@Gabimaru - The fact NWH almost made 2B is the reason why Sony wants another Multiverse movie

Spidey & DD vs Mayor Kingpin.

I heard they didn't wanna do it because they're TV characters. They musta forgot they were movie characters first. Also they don't have wacky superpowers. DD's basically Batman and Kingpin's basically [fatcat gangster politician]. Easy to understand.
The1st
The1st - 9/12/2024, 7:45 AM
@ObserverIO - I'd also love if they started mo capping D'Onofrio...give us actual Kingpin. The last time we got something close he got done in by Echo and Kate Bishop.

This is the perfect time to do a version of The Clone Wars. You can have different versions of Spider-Man without the multiversal element and still keep it mostly street level. You satisfy both sides.

There's no such thing as an Avengers Level Event anymore.


Next.
