The most recent Spider-Man films were also characterized by the fact that the wallcrawler portrayed by Tom Holland had a mentor figure at his side in all parts. After the tragic death of Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) took over this role in “Spider-Man: No Way Home”. And apparently Spider-Man would also be in “Spider Man 4“ once again received prominent support.
This is what the usually well-informed insider and industry expert Daniel Richtman says (via ) have now found out. And he also wants to know which heroes those could be.
Daredevil in Spider-Man 4?
This is what the one brought over from the Netflix-Marvel universe should be like Daredevil (Charlie Cox) play a larger role in the current version of the script for “Spider-Man 4,” according to information from Richtman. This statement is particularly interesting because it is currently not even known who will actually continue Peter Parker’s adventures as a screenwriter. Of course, it is possible that a draft of the script is already being worked on diligently in the background without the author’s name having yet been announced.
Still, an appearance by the devil from Hell’s Kittchen would obviously make sense, as the blind superhero has already indirectly come into contact with the friendly neighborhood spider with Matt Murdock’s cameo in “Spider-Man: No Way Home.” Here he appears as Peter Parker’s lawyer.
Will Ant-Man succeed Iron Man?
But another superhero could also appear in ‘Spider-Man 4’: Ant-Man, played by Paul Rudd. Apparently, the search is currently underway for a hero who could continue Tony Stark and Stephen Strange’s mentor role, and at this point, Scott Lang’s character is likely a good candidate for the position.
Of course, all this inside information should be treated with caution. However, the plethora of current rumors still suggest that we are currently working hard to advance production for “Spider-Man 4.” At the moment, it doesn’t look like filming will start before the end of 2024, so we won’t be swinging through the urban canyons of New York with Peter Parker again until 2026 at the earliest.
