Tom Holland has provided a Spider-Man 4 update on the upcoming Spider-Man movie set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
In an interview with Variety at the New York City premiere of his new Apple TV+ series The Crowded Room on Thursday, June 1, Holland said that he was not allowed to share much about the status of Spider-Man 4. He had meetings about where to take Peter Parker’s character, but they have been put on hold with the writer’s strike.
“I can’t talk about that, but I can say that we have been having meetings,” said Holland in his Spider-Man 4 update. “We’ve put the meetings on pause in solidarity with the writers. There’s been multiple conversations had, but at this point, it’s very, very early stages.”
What else is known about Spider-Man 4?
There is no current set release date for Spider-Man 4. Ever since we last saw the web-slinging superhero team up with other Spider-Men to battle generations of villains in 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, fans may have been eager to see where Marvel would take the character. This is especially after the film’s bittersweet ending, which seemed to promise a fresh start for the character.
However, producer Amy Pascal also provided an update on the status of Spider-Man at the premiere of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. She told Variety, “Are we going to make another movie? Of course, we are. We’re in the process, but [with] the writers strike, nobody is working during the strike. We’re all being supporters, and whenever they get themselves together, we’ll get started.”
It is not yet known whether Spider-Man 4 will be a part of Phase Five, Six, or beyond in the MCU. However, fans of the wall-crawling hero will get their fix of Spider-Man this weekend with the release of the new animated movie, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.
