New Rumor Teases Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man 4’ Will Be Titled ‘Spider-Man: King in Black’

As a long-time Marvel fan with memories of Spider-Man stretching back to the original comics, I must say that the rumors swirling around the upcoming Spider-Man 4 have me absolutely thrilled! The prospect of Knull making his big screen debut and potentially clashing with our friendly neighborhood Spiderman is nothing short of exhilarating.


The complexity of Spider-Man’s story among all MCU superheroes stems from the fact that Sony, not Marvel Studios, holds the rights to the character. This meant that initially, the Spider-Man films were not connected with the main MCU movies. However, when Tom Holland stepped into the role, a partnership between Sony and Marvel was formed, resulting in three films featuring the young actor as Spider-Man.

Despite limited details available so far regarding the forthcoming Spider-Man 4, as confirmed by Kevin Feige, there’s been plenty of chatter surrounding the film, with many theories linking it to the Venom series.

In No Way Home, it was hinted that Venom inadvertently entered the MCU only to return home, leaving a piece of the symbiote behind. With Venom: The Last Dance being released soon, there’s been a lot of buzz about the introduction of Knull and some enthusiasts believe they’ve uncovered the title for the fourth movie.

Recently, quite a buzz circulated on the internet about the supposed title of the forthcoming Spider-Man 4 film.

With a bit of caution, some rumors suggest that the upcoming Spider-Man film could be called “Spider-Man: King of the Darkness.

This was later shared by a more reliable rumor source, giving credibility to the above tweet:

Rumor has it that the next Spider-Man movie featuring Tom Holland could possibly be called “Spider-Man: The Black King” (as suggested by @Cryptic4KQual).

It’s now crystal clear where these rumors originated. They have been growing based on whispers that Knull will make his screen debut, initially in a brief appearance, with further appearances to follow. Given the link between Symbiote stories and Spider-Man’s universe, it seems that people are trying to forge a connection between these two realms, hence the rumors stem from there.

It’s evident that Knull will encounter Spider-Man in some capacity, but it remains undecided whether this confrontation will take place in “Spider-Man 4” or if Knull will serve as the main antagonist for a different version of Spider-Man. You might recall that Andrew Garfield’s name was frequently mentioned as a potential Spider-Man within the Sony Universe.

Regarding the speculation surrounding the title of the upcoming Spider-Man film, if the conjecture holds water, it could align with expectations, but there’s a significant hurdle – the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films have been predominantly centered around the “Home” theme, so this title shift would be quite unprecedented. It leaves us questioning whether Marvel is prepared for such a rebranding of Tom Holland’s character. On the flip side, the trilogy of Spider-Man movies has been referred to as the “Home saga,” which suggests that the MCU might be distancing itself from the initial trilogy.

As much as I’m excited about the buzz, I’ll be keeping you posted on any new developments, so stay tuned with us!
