"Spider-Man Untitled 4th MCU Movie" News & Discussion

[Frontier]

An insider claims filming is slated to start in September 2024 and an offer has been made to an unnamed director.

Hope they pick the right person .

I was on board with Justin Lin directing. While I'm eager to see Spidey finally meet DD and Kingpin as is rumored, I don't see the need for this movie to really exist and seems to be just greedy Sony trying to crank one more out. The people on the Marvel sub on reddit are completely sold on there being a 'college' trilogy with Tom Holland, but I think that's unnecessary and putting the cart before the horse. No Way Home was a good finale and in some ways wrapped up the entire filmic Spidey saga, so I'm not chomping at the bit for Homecoming 4, 5, and 6. They find increasingly forced ways to jam an MCU hero into the narrative and I fear this won't be any more organic. Dr. Strange came out of nowhere and was so OOC just to get the plot going.

I really hope we don't see Zendaya or Ned again though, like why, what's the point? Has Peter learned nothing? I'm also a Euphoria fan and want her back filming that, not wasting time in a movie where she isn't needed that Sony is contractually obligating her to appear in in order to sell a few more tickets. This is how we get assembly line movies-by-committee, that are created just to meet a release date and bump the quarter for the studios' earnings.

Sam Raimi and John Francis Daley & Jonathan Goldstein are rumored to be in contention to direct.

Bring Raimi back for adult Peter, have the writers due it...or even Happy Hogan himself .

Idk. If it was these 3 choices, I'd go with Daley & Goldstein. “Dungeons and Dragons” and “Game Night” were two fun movies and they already got experience with writing this Spider-Man.

Nothing against Raimi, also always love his classics like the Evil Dead movies but his directing style plus MCU Spider-Man would just feel strange to me. Favreau's busy enough with Star Wars. Feels like a missed opportunity with Drew Goddard but he chose the next Matrix movie... shrug.

I took a closer look at the source and looks more conjecture so lucky thing I said "rumored."

Ideally I'd want someone new to acknowledge the fact that this is kind of a new period or era of Spider-Man but they might want safe bet.

Ahh it comes full circle Raimi is directing Spiderman 4 just not with Tobey Maguire though if he does get it I hope Raimi doesn't go too campy and Marvel lets the man cook instead of controlling everything kinda like with MOM but tbh I want someone completely new personally Daley & Goldstein would be my choice (even tho its unlikely Favreau would be cool)

People have been following the production so intently that it would be nice to have some concrete news...

Another comment from Holland.

The simple answer is that I’ll always want to do Spider-Man films. I owe my life and career to Spider-Man. So the simple answer is yes. I’ll always want to do more.

We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be. But until we’ve cracked it, we have a legacy to protect. The third movie was so special in so many ways that we need to make sure we do the right thing.

This is the first time in this process that I’ve been part of the creative so early. It’s just a process where I’m watching and learning. It’s just a really fun stage for me. Like I said, everyone wants it to happen. But we want to make sure we’re not overdoing the same things.

Another comment from Holland.

And then by the end of the next film "This might be my last Spider-Man film!" then comes the next film .

 

[TheGuy]

Holland bruh DO YOU WANT TO COME BACK OR NOT (It feels like he keeps flip-flopping)

James Wan Spider-Man would be so surreal !

But I would totally be down for Black Cat .

Darker time for Peter's life...requires a darker suit .

5/17: I still stand by the belief it's too soon for the Symbiote Suit but I get he's not going to be Spider-Man forever. Still.

5/20: An insider claims Venom appears but isn't the main villain.

Spoiler

We can't get MCU versions of most of the Rogues Gallery but we might get a new Venom ?

5/20:

Spoiler

Perhaps. At the very least, maybe the symbiote will show a memory of or there's some flash of Hardy's Venom. Or what we kind of suspect, maybe an end tag of the MCU Eddie Brock getting the symbiote.

5/21: More insider claims about the villains and symbiote.

Spoiler

The Shocker (Bokeem Woodbine) and The Scorpion (Michael Mando) will be two of The Kingpin's pawns. The Symbiote bonds with the latter and they kill Spider-Man but the suit revives Peter and bonds with him. Also playing coy about Aunt May's status.

It also appears Holland and Rothman had a meet in London yesterday.

Seeing Shocker and Scorpion (both with professional suits) is the best news .
