Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4is moving full steam ahead, and the upcomingMarvel Cinematic Universemovie could connect to a multiversal theory for the next Avengers film, as the Peter Parker actor shared an interestingSpider-Man 4story tease. I was surprised to see Marvel and Sony wait so long before finally putting Holland’s Spider-Man back onscreen. While I understand thatfollowing upSpider-Man: No Way Homeis a daunting quest, with Marvel’s Multiverse Saga facing issues in the past few years, it was shocking to see that a newMCU Spider-Man moviewas not fast-tracked.
Spider-Man 4breaks the release trend of Holland’s Marvel franchise, as the film will be released five years after the latest MCU Spider-Man movie, and previous entries were released with a 2-year gap between them.The plot ofSpider-Man 4has yet to be revealed, but solid details of the production have already been announced.Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Ringsdirector Destin Daniel Cretton takes over from Spider-Man franchise director Jon Watts.Spider-Man 4will be released on June 06, 2025. Based on a recent tease,Spider-Man 4could connect to Avengers: Doomsday in a huge way.
Tom Holland Has Teased A New Direction For The Spider-Man Franchise
The MCU Is Trying Something Different
Recently,Holland shared some interestingSpider-Man 4details. While the MCU actor did not go into the specifics of the film despite his fame for revealing spoilers, Holland did tease that the next Spider-Man movie will attempt to be different from what has come before, and I find that to be exciting. Speaking aboutSpider-Man 4, Holland said, “It’s a little different to anything we’ve done before.“The Peter Parker actor also said that the idea for the next film is crazy, and even though it is different from past Spider-Man movies, fans should respond positively to it.
Tom Holland’s Positive Update About His Spider-Man Future Makes My MCU Peter Parker Dreams Closer To Happening
Tom Holland is getting ready to start filming Spider-Man 4 next summer, and the actor has revealed how long he wants to continue making MCU movies.
There have been many rumors about what directionSpider-Man 4might take. A street-level adventure with Daredevil and Kingpin seems to be the fan-favorite choice, though bringing back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s versions of Spider-Men also has enormous box office potential, as shown bySpider-Man: No Way Home. Since both kinds of films have been delivered before by Holland’s Spider-Man franchise, I don’t believe that a straightforward version of any of the two concepts is the basis forSpider-Man 4. However, thanks to Holland’s comments, I’m convinced thatAvengers: Doomsdaycould lead to a unique scenario forSpider-Man 4.
I’m Convinced That Spider-Man 4 Will Take Place In Battleworld
The Marvel Comics Location Makes Sense For The End Of The Multiverse Saga
I can’t see how Marvel would adaptAvengers: Secret Warsand not use Battleworld.The Marvel Comics location is a patchwork planetmade of pieces from iconic locations from the main Marvel Universe and other universes, with Earth-616 characters and multiverse players living together across Battleworld’s many lands. While Battleworld could have been absent from the next Avengers movies when Kang the Conqueror was still the Multiverse Saga’s main villain, now thatRobert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doomhas been brought in — he created Battleworld in the comics' Secret Wars event — it would make sense for the MCU to debut Battleworld.

With Tom Holland’sSpider-Man 4set for a July 2026 release,the MCU movie will arrive betweenAvengers: DoomsdayandAvengers: Secret Wars. Based on how the directors of the next two Avengers movies, the Russo Brothers, chose to have the heroes lose against Thanos inAvengers: Infinity Warbefore winning inAvengers: Endgameand how the Secret Wars event plays out in the comics, I think that Doctor Doom will create Battleworld at the end ofDoomsday.Spider-Man 4could then be set in Battleworld, which connects to Holland saying that it’s crazy and different from other Spider-Man movies.
The Street-Level Spider-Man Story I Want Can Be Done Later
The MCU’s Multiverse Saga Will Soon Be Over
The biggest issue with havingSpider-Man 4be set in Battleworld is how it would connect toSpider-Man: No Way Home’s ending. When he was seen for the last time, Tom Holland’s Peter Parker had been forgotten by the whole world due to Doctor Strange’s spell, choosing not to make MJ and Ned remember who he was so that they would be safe and moving into a small apartment on his own.I want to see Holland’s Spider-Man go back to basicsafter being assisted for so long by Stark Tech and Iron Man in general.
Talking withRich Roll, Tom Holland revealed that he wants to continue for a long time as Spider-Man, saying,“I want to make another one. I want to make many more.”
While I initially hoped thatSpider-Man 4would naturally tell the street-level story I wanted, I’m okay with waiting more for it. I loved to see the three movie versions of Spider-Man share the screen. Asthe Multiverse Saga ends with 2027’sAvengers: Secret Wars, I believe that Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Men, as well as multiverse elements, will be left behind. As such,Spider-Man 4being set in Battleworld would appeal to me, as it allows the MCU to have more multiverse fun with Spider-Man while it still can, and street-level stories could always happen later.
