The popularity of Marvel after the premiere of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ has not been the best in the world, but ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ did sweep to such an extent that it is currently the sixth highest-grossing film of all time. A new adventure for this superhero played by Tom Holland it was inevitable and was finally confirmed in early 2023.
At Espinof we have thought that the premiere of the excellent animated film ‘Crossing the multiverse’ was a good excuse to review everything we know so far about ‘Spider-Man 4’. It’s still not much, but any new information about this Marvel movie will be included here as soon as possible.
The history
It is likely that Marvel plans to give some clue or reposition Peter Parker in movies or series prior to the launch of ‘Spider-Man 4’, but what is clear is that he will have to explain how his life continues after the mass erasure of memories which seems to condemn him to a new life of solitude after how ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ ended.
When is ‘Spider-Man 4’ released in theaters?
There is still no release date assigned, but it is known that it is not part of Phase 5 of Marvel, so we can rule out its premiere until at least 2025. After all, ‘Deadpool 3’, which is part of Phase 6, is currently shooting and is scheduled for release on November 8, 2024, while ‘Spider-Man 4’ is still in the development phase.
Zero surprises if it ends up being delayed even to 2026, well the studio wanted to be more selective with the projects it carried out as of now and he still has many others that should hit theaters sooner like ‘Captain America 4’ or the bumpy reboot of ‘Blade’.
Cast and protagonists
The return of Tom Holland was the only essential, but the truth is that at the time there was even talk about the possibility that ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ was his farewell as the wall-crawler, to which we must add the tensions that arose at the time between Marvel and Sony when it came to sharing the character.
However, his return is already assured, and he is not the only one, since it has also been made known that zendaya will reappear as MJ. There it will be interesting to see how they justify it -I hope they don’t resort to the trick again that Doctor Strange uses his powers to undo what happened- and also if that will also mean that Jacob Battalion will bring Ned Leeds back to life.
Director
It is not officially confirmed, but it is expected that jon watts continue to lead this franchise. His signing by Marvel was part of the study’s strategy of hiring smaller film authors, since he had previously only signed ‘Clown’ and ‘Police Car’, two estimable titles but which cannot be said to be memorable either, since the bet gave him It went well for the company and there is no reason for them to change their director.
However, Watts is very busy right now with the filming of ‘Wolves’a thriller starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt financed by Apple and that promises to be one of the great premieres of the platform by 2024.
Trailer, images and poster
We will have to wait, and maybe a lot, since the development of ‘Spider-Man 4′ has been paralyzed by the writers’ strike. The work on the script will not resume until it is finished and even later it will be time to start filming. At least until then there will be no image from the film.
