Spider-Man 4: The Hype Is Real as Tom Holland Confirms MCU Return Amid Writer's Strike

Tom Holland has confirmed that meetings have begun for Spider-Man 4, signaling his return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The last Spider-Man movie, No Way Home, released almost two years ago, was a huge success, and it concluded Peter Parker's trilogy while also allowing him to team up with Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire's Spider-Men as part of a larger multiverse adventure. Although Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures haven't provided many updates about the project, Holland has given some positive news about his return to the MCU. In an interview with Variety, he mentioned that meetings have been taking place for Spider-Man 4. However, production isn't commencing anytime soon as Holland confirmed that development is currently on hold due to the Writers Guild of America strike.

When MCU Spider-Man 4 Could Release Amid Writer's Strike Delays

Unfortunately, I am not at liberty to discuss the topic at hand. However, I can confirm that we have been actively engaging in meetings. As a show of support to the writers, we have temporarily halted these meetings. While multiple conversations have taken place, it is important to note that we are still in the very early stages of this process.

The fate of Spider-Man 4 remains uncertain with no director attached and no clear updates on the progress of the script before the writers' strike. It's possible that the sequel may be held off until the end of Phase 6, as Phase 5 is already packed with other projects. As for Holland's involvement in future Avengers films like The Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, it's yet to be determined. However, it would be surprising if he wasn't at least a part of one of them.

Depending on when the strike ends, the release of Spider-Man 4 could be delayed for several months while the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers negotiate a deal. This delay could be even longer if there was no finished script prior to the strike. It's likely that Spider-Man 4 will not be released until Phase 7 of the MCU, which comes after The Multiverse Saga. However, unforeseen events could also occur during Phase 6. Meanwhile, fans are eagerly anticipating any news about Holland's meetings with the studios regarding Spider-Man 4. With Kevin Feige confirming that Spider-Man and Daredevil will represent the street-level heroes of the MCU, fans are excited about the possibility of Holland and Charlie Cox working together again. However, until then, fans will have to be patient and wait for Holland's return to the MCU.
