Some Fans Are Not Happy with the Potential ‘Spider-Man 4’ Storyline: “I miss the good old Raimi days.”

As a long-time Spider-Man fan who’s seen every iteration from Raimi to Holland, I must say, I’m finding myself torn between excitement and apprehension regarding the rumors about the upcoming fourth Spider-Man movie. On one hand, I’ve grown fond of the multiverse elements we’ve seen in previous films, but on the other, I yearn for a grounded, street-level story that focuses on Peter Parker’s personal struggles and New York City adventures.


The complexity of Spider-Man’s narrative among all MCU superheroes stems from the fact that Sony, rather than Marvel Studios, possesses the rights to the character. As a result, the initial Spider-Man films had no connection whatsoever with the mainline MCU movies. However, with Tom Holland‘s casting as Spider-Man, Sony and Marvel started working together.

Meanwhile, Sony has created multiple movies that, despite not starring Spider-Man, belong to a larger interconnected universe (the SSU) independent of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). Yet, Tom Holland’s narrative will unfold independently from the SSU. However, speculations suggest that future plans could potentially link these two separate universes together.

Specifically, a reliable source has disclosed to the general public that the fourth Spider-Man film is currently in scriptwriting and slated for release in 2026. However, it’s also been revealed that this movie will feature a substantial multiverse aspect, which some fans are expressing dissatisfaction over.

According to the tweet we’ll be mentioning shortly, the rumor originates from DanielRPK, a highly respected industry insider who frequently provides accurate information and leaks. However, it’s important to remember that this is still just a rumor, so approach it with caution. Here’s the details as they stand:

It appears that the production of Spider-Man 4 will commence next year, with a planned release in 2026. Additionally, it seems that the narrative for Spider-Man 4 may focus on the multiverse.

Why, Sony, must you persistently delay a realistic follow-up sequel for Spiderman, focusing on Peter’s struggle with depression, stress, self-reliance, battling villains such as Kingpin or Scorpion, and developing new relationships? You’ve already created the Spider-Verse films; isn’t this the next logical step? What else are you waiting for?

One street level Spiderman story is all I ask for

In simpler times, like those during the Raimi era, Spider-Man primarily dealt with issues in New York City. Now, he’s more concerned about college, relationships, friends who transform into villains, and a dead-end job.
