Spider-Man 4′ Production Details Revealed

By August Tales

Spider-Man, the web-slinging hero of the Marvel Universe, is in a unique quagmire. Sony, and not Marvel Studios, has proprietary rights to the character. This setup created a disconnect between the first few Spider-Man films and the primary Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) lineup. However, that would change with Tom Holland’s casting. A fruitful collaboration between Sony and Marvel birthed three films with the fresh-faced actor.

Despite scant information about the fourth installment, a bevy of rumors have surfaced. To keep you ahead, we’ve sifted through these conjectures, conjuring some fascinating fan theories you’ll find in the subsequent text.

The Multiversal Double Trouble

We had previously shared an intriguing theory. It postulates a multiverse character and goes ahead to pinpoint the film’s antagonists.

A Symbiote Synopsis

We discovered a curious Twitter theory. It anticipates a major role for the Symbiotes but doesn’t stop there. It speculates that Spider-Man acquires the symbiote during the post-credit scene of Spider-Man 4, plunging Peter into potential conflict with Dr. Doom. As formidable as this interaction seems, it could carry devastating consequences if he wields the symbiote.

More Multiverse Musings

Prolific Reddit theorist “homodemiks,” quoted earlier, has yet another fascinating suggestion:

“I like the idea of a street-level Phase 5 film followed by a multiverse Phase 6 flick. Venom arriving in the MCU and stopping a robbery could kick things off. This common enemy might prompt Spider-Man (Peter #1) and Venom to team up against Knull’s monster. However, the other Peters (Peter #2 and #3) might not be as welcoming towards Venom. This charged meeting could lead to the formation of a super team featuring five Spider-people and Venom. Depending on the story’s location, we might see Knull and his army defeated, and Peter #1 left with the non-sentient part of Venom. This could set the stage for the iconic black suit.”

A Laughable Proposition

After all the somewhat plausible theories, we close on a hilariously improbable one from Redditor “BiggestHat_MoonMan.” This theory posits Spider-Man 4 as a concoction of genres—street-level, interplanetary, personal, high stakes, and multiversal. The film could feature a barrage of guest stars from the Spider-verse and Marvel cosmos. It proposes the canonization of “Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends” and “Spidey and His Amazing Friends.” It even suggests the film will carry no new Spider-Man footage, opting instead to develop the expansive Spider-verse figures.

While these speculations make for entertaining reading, none may come close to the eventual plot. As we wait for the release, we would love to hear what theories you’ve cooked up. Share your thoughts with us.
