00:00Spider-Man 4 news is finally starting to weave itself together.
00:04Can Marvel and Sony recreate the billion-dollar success of No Way Home?
00:09If this rumor turns out to be true, then maybe they will.
00:12For months now, Marvel and Sony have reportedly been quietly fighting over the future of Spider-Man
00:164 due to reported creative differences and the problem of scheduling a release date.
00:21For now, at least, the latter issue seems to have been resolved, as the Tom Holland-starring
00:24movie is set to swing into theaters on July 24, 2026.
00:29The film's plot is still shrouded in mystery, though the purported leaked info teases the
00:33Friendly Neighborhood superhero forming an unlikely alliance with an enemy.
00:37As documented by the notable spoiler-slash-leaker My Time to Shine Hello!, Spider-Man 4 reportedly
00:42takes place after the events of Avengers Doomsday and will see Peter Parker trying to concentrate
00:47on his college studies.
00:48Notably, the leaker screenshot shows a release date of July 10, though that may be holdover
00:53from the aforementioned studio wrangling over the release date.
00:56Unfortunately, a new world-ending threat forces him to put on his costume and join forces
01:00with an unspecified character to save the day.
01:04That itself is interesting, albeit a little unsurprising.
01:07But the big news in an apparent leaked document, posted by Shine on social media, appears to
01:11be the return of three actors for the movie — Michael Keaton as Vulture, Andrew Garfield
01:16as a variant of Spider-Man, and Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom.
01:20RDJ's Doom is currently expected to appear as the lead big bad in Avengers Doomsday.
01:25If this rumor turns out to be true, then he may also be a critical part of Spider-Man
01:304.
01:31Fans have long expected, whether they liked it or not, that the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man
01:35would take another page out of the Marvel multiverse, maybe building off the symbiote
01:39teased in a prior post-credits sequence.
01:41But what has the cast of the movie had to say about the film?
01:44Regardless of whether or not this plot summary is true — and plenty of people are suggesting
01:48it may be fake — Tom Holland has weighed in on what he knows about the sequel.
01:52Speaking in an interview with Good Morning America, the Spidey actor revealed that the
01:56script is almost good to go, but still needs a little work.
01:59We are super close to having a creative that I think is really worthy of the fans."
02:06Holland also shared that the idea is both crazy and a little different to anything we've
02:10done before, descriptions that both seem to track with this particularly wild rumor.
02:15These comments also echo other statements from Holland, who previously said on the Rich
02:19Roll podcast that he and co-star-slash-romantic partner Zendaya had read a draft of the script
02:24that left them, quote, "'bouncing around the room.'"
02:26In Holland's words,
02:27"'This is a real movie worthy of the fans' respect, but there's a few things we need
02:31to figure out before we can get that really going, but it's exciting.'"
02:35In those comments, Holland also said one of the major challenges with cracking the movie
02:38creatively was figuring out how to nest it within the Marvel timeline, which might seem
02:42to have little space for a Spider-Man movie right now.
02:45He said,
02:46"'One of the things to bear in mind with Marvel is that your film is a small cog in
02:50a large machine, and that machine has got to keep running, and you need to make sure
02:54you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture.
02:58The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order, but definitely achievable
03:01with the fantastic people we have working on it now.'"
03:04If the so-called leak of these major casting rumors is true, then we might already know
03:09who some of those fantastic people are.
03:12That's not a hug, I'm just grabbing the door for you.
03:13We're not, we're not there yet."
