Spider-Man 4: New Title Rumor Fuels Fan Theories
By August Tales
Rumors Suggest “Spider-Man: King in Black” as the New Title
Speculation about Spider-Man 4 is heating up, with rumors swirling about an unexpected villain entering the fray. According to new reports, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man might face Knull, the God of the Symbiotes, in his next big-screen adventure. The rumored title, Spider-Man: King in Black, has fans buzzing about what could be the most multiversal story yet.
Knull: The Symbiote God Looms Large
Knull, a notorious figure in Marvel Comics, is credited with creating the symbiotes, including Venom. Known for wielding the terrifying Black Necrosword (seen in Thor: Love and Thunder), Knull’s rumored appearance as the villain in Spider-Man 4 signals a significant departure from more street-level foes like Scorpion or Prowler. If true, Holland’s Spider-Man could be heading into his darkest battle yet.
The title King in Black has been circulating on social media, with popular sources teasing this new direction. While there’s no confirmation from Marvel yet, the talk is gaining momentum, with fans eagerly awaiting more details.
The Venom Connection
One of the most exciting aspects of this rumor involves Venom. The plot could involve a multiverse storyline, drawing symbiotes like Venom into the fray. Fans speculate that this could finally set up the much-anticipated crossover between Tom Holland’s Spider-Man and Tom Hardy’s Venom. If Knull is truly the villain, this could bring about an epic collision of symbiotes in the MCU.
Directed by Shang-Chi’s Destin Daniel Cretton
Behind the camera for Spider-Man 4 is Destin Daniel Cretton, the director of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. His work on that film was widely praised, and now, Cretton is set to bring his vision to Spider-Man’s next chapter. Scriptwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, who penned the last Spider-Man trilogy, are back on board to craft this new story.
A Multiverse Expands Even Further
If the rumors hold true, the MCU’s multiverse could get even more intricate. Introducing Knull would elevate Spider-Man’s narrative, adding cosmic stakes to a story already rich with cross-dimensional possibilities. As Marvel Studios and Sony continue their collaboration, fans are keeping their fingers crossed for an official announcement soon.
Though Marvel and Sony have yet to confirm any specifics, one thing is certain: Spider-Man 4 is shaping up to be a monumental entry into the MCU, potentially launching an all-new era for Holland’s Spider-Man.
Spider-Man 4 is rumored to begin production in 2025, with a tentative release date slated for July 2026.
