“Spider-Man 4” in danger? Tom Holland only wants to return as Peter Parker under one condition!

The third part of Sony’s MCU “Spider-Man” series (“Spider-Man: No Way Home”) was released in theaters worldwide at the end of 2021 and became (despite the corona pandemic) one of the most successful films of all time. the cash register. That after this mega success, a fourth part with Tom Holland in the role of the friendly spider next door was planned for Marvel and Sony was only officially confirmed a short time later.

However, in recent months there have been increasing signs that fans will likely have to wait longer than planned for this new spider adventure – the Hollywood writers’ strike and Holland’s busy and nerve-wracking schedule made the job more difficult. “Spider Man 4” the bill has been canceled for the time being.

Now the Marvel sequel could be in even greater danger, the British actor told the Critics Choice Association explained, There is still no presentable script written for the film – which is exactly what would be essential for Holland to reprise his role as Peter Parker aka Spider-Man in a fourth installment.

Tom Holland wants to continue to do justice to Peter Parker and Spider-Man

This is what Tom Holland revealed interviewthat he would return for Spider-Man 4 not only to do it, but to do justice to the character loved by fans and himself: “All I can say is that we are actively discussing what a fourth story for my character could look like. Whether we find a way to do justice to this character or not is another matter.”

“I’m very protective of Spider-Man. I consider myself very fortunate that we created a franchise that got better and more successful with each film, which I think is quite rare. And I want to protect this legacy. So I’m not just going to make a new film just for the sake of making it. He must do justice to the character.”

If the right story for Peter Parker and Spider-Man is found, nothing would stop Holland from donning the spider costume for the fourth time: “If we succeed, I would be pretty stupid not to wear the suit again because I owe everything to Spider-Man. I love this character and I love the people I’m working with on it. I would love to tell a new story, but only if we can find the right one.”

It remains to be seen when Marvel and Sony will deliver a script that can also convince the Netherlands. What is certain, however, is that filming cannot take place without a script – and will therefore only begin once the story is in place. Insiders recently revealed that the first release for “Spider-Man 4” would likely not arrive before the end of 2024 – making a theatrical release before 2026 still a long way off. Given the new statements from the Netherlands, that time frame is now becoming increasingly likely.
