By August Tales

Sony and Marvel may drop a new bombshell. Speculations suggest they will commence the production of Spider-Man 4 next year. Surprisingly, word on the street is there may be a new female protagonist. Consequently, this raises questions about Zendaya reprising her role as MJ.

Reports originated from renowned scoop digger MyTimeToShineHello. According to them, Spider-Man 4 is also hunting for a probable antagonist.
Sony will initiate the filming in the UK by May 2025. Alongside a new female lead, they are scouting for a male lead. The latter will duel against Peter in the plot.

Zendaya Out, Black Cat In?

It is intriguing that Zendaya’s character may not feature in Spider-Man 4. Alternatively, her role might be pinch-hit. It is worth noting that at the climax of No Way Home, MJ, along with everyone else, lost memory of knowing Peter Parker.

The story transpired two weeks after Doctor Strange cast the forgetting charm. Peter Parker revisited MJ for reintroduction, but canned the idea. Fan theories suggest that Spider-Man 4 may transition Spidey into a fresh chapter in MCU. The audience suspects the new female lead could be Black Cat.

Zendaya Craves Normalcy

Adding to the intrigue, while attending the NYC premier for Dune: Part Two, Zendaya pondered if she was fit for celebrity status. She expressed her apprehensions concerning the pressures of fame.

She admitted her aversion to the stardom aspect. She loves the craft, cherish the sets and enjoys her work. But the fame frightens her.

Zendaya confessed to being an introvert and felt alienated from her celebrity alter ego. Fashion became her shield to face the public and embrace her profession.

She wants to be seen as a human first and a celebrity later. She wants to steer clear of the fame culture that enraptures celebrities. She doubts her compatibility with that lifestyle.

Sony and Marvel retained their silence on Spider-Man 4, maintaining a status quo. Skeptics consider these rumblings nothing more than speculation. For now, fans can only wrap themselves in the excitement, hoping for an official announcement soon.
