Spider-Man 4 will happen with Marvel, Tom Holland, says No Way Home producer

The publication of Spider-Man has no way home It’s only weeks away. And thanks to an intense presale ticket rush, this movie could become the first $100M opening weekend for the U.S. Box Office. in two years. The new Marvel movie has the air of a grand finale: Not only does it wrap up a trilogy of films starring Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, but thanks to a haywire spell cast by Doctor Strange, the drama will tie in various villains from every other pocket of the Spider-Man movie universe over the last 20 years. You can’t go home! feels like the biggest possible way for Holland’s Spider-Man to go out — but producer Amy Pascal says Marvel and Sony aren’t done yet.

“This is not the last movie that we are going to make with Marvel — [this is not] the last Spider-Man movie,” Pascal tells Fandango in a new interview. “We are getting ready to make the next Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland and Marvel, it just isn’t part of … we’re thinking of this as three films, and now we’re going to go onto the next three. This is not the last of our MCU movies.”

Holland was a key role in several Spider-Man movies, including three solo films. Civil War: Captain America, Avengers: Infinity WarAnd Avengers: EndgameAt the tender age of 19, he was able to enter the Marvel Universe, giving the then-25-year-old ample room to continue his journey as an older Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield, who was just 29 at the time he took on the role as Peter Parker, is a comparison. The Amazing Spider-Man, and Tobey Maguire was 27 when he led 2002’s Spider-Man.) Holland, however, has suggested that this might be the case in recent weeks. You can’t go home!His character’s run was over.

“We were all treating [No Way Home] as the end of a franchise, let’s say,” Holland told Entertainment Weekly in November. “I think if we were lucky enough to dive into these characters again, you’d be seeing a very different version. It wouldn’t be the Homecoming trilogies anymore. We’d give it time to see if we could make something else and change the tone of the films. Whether that happens or not, I don’t know. We were certainly treating. [No Way Home] like it was coming to an end, and it felt like it.”

This sounds possible. But even more recently, Holland’s expressed interest in passing on the torch. In an interview with GQ, he wondered if it would be time to “move on” after You can’t go home!.

“Maybe what’s best for Spider-Man is that they do a Miles Morales film,” he said. “I have to take Peter Parker into account as well, because he is an important part of my life [… But] If I’m playing Spider-Man after I’m 30, I’ve done something wrong.”

Whatever resistance Holland brings to the table, or whatever negotiating tactics are happening behind the scenes and playing out in vague ways in the press, Pascal seems to have a vision for what’s next, including how the You can’t go home! lines Holland’s Spider-Man up with Venom, Morbius, and other offshoots of the Spider-verse that are firmly part of Sony’s development and release strategy. The Marvel-Sony agreement almost collapsed before it was announced. You can’t go home!Pascal calls her shot confidently for a future where MCU Spider-Man moves between various blockbusters.

“There’s the Marvel Universe, which is one container and then there’s the Spider-Verse movies, which are different and then there’s the other universe where the Sony characters are in. We all are very respectful of each other and work together and make sure that we’re only being additive,” she said.

Pascal says in Fandango that Pascal stresses how You can’t go home! is “about family and love and honor and sacrifice. But it’s always centered around the decisions that Spider-Man has to make,” and how that reframes his destiny as a character. The story-centric perspective is what the producer says will lead them to figure out a fourth Holland-starring Spider-Man movie — and the beginning of a new trilogy.

“I would say there’s so many things that we’re going to be able to explore, but what we always have to do before we decide who the villain is going to be, and what Spidey goes up against, is what is the story we’re telling about? Do you? What’s the Peter Parker story we’re telling? What’s the Miles Morales story that we’re telling? That’s the first thing we have to do. The good thing about these movies is as big as the canvas they take place on can be, they are always just stories about a kid.”
