Marvel Studios' slate of Multiverse Saga movies underwent some big changes last night, but what's the deal with Spider-Man? While Sony Pictures has an ongoing deal with Marvel Studios, there's a lot of uncertainty surrounding the web-spinner's future, especially after Tom Holland strongly hinted he might be done playing Peter Parker last December.
The Cosmic Circus has provided an update, though, claiming to have heard that the current plan is for Spider-Man 4 to swing into theaters on July 12, 2024.
That would place it two weeks before Thunderbolts, so if this date is correct, we expect that movie to shift down the release calendar a little. Everything appears to be in a state of flux at Marvel Studios right now, anyway, something that's evident from the fact movies like Avengers: Secret Wars and Fantastic Four are now coming out in completely different years!
Back to Spidey, though, and the site has heard his next adventure will be a little more street-level than the Multiversal madness seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
"This street-level story, we’re being told, may actually handle the aftermath of Daredevil: Born Again," they note, all but confirming the Man Without Fear - and potentially The Kingpin - will be part of Spider-Man 4. If so, that's pretty much exactly what we've all been hoping to see in the MCU, so this is very good news indeed.
As for the alien suit (you may recall Eddie Brock leaving a piece of Venom behind when he returned to his own world), that won't factor into the next movie. While the symbiote is expected to come into Peter's life in this second trilogy, the current plan may be to have him encounter the living costume in one of the upcoming Avengers movies instead.
We have to take this all with a pinch of salt for now, but the site has proven to be extremely reliable in the past. With any luck, Spidey's MCU future will be as bright as it sounds here.
