Tom Holland, who currently portrays the web-slinger on the big screen, confirmed he’s continued to have discussions about what “Spider-Man 4,” may look like: “All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character,” Holland said at a press conference at the Critics Choice Association (via Collider). “Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing. I feel very protective over Spider-Man. I feel very, very lucky that we were able to work on a franchise that got better with each movie, that got more successful with each movie, which I think is really rare, and I want to protect his legacy.”
Understandably, Holland wants to ensure “Spider-Man 4” is a worthy continuation of the story he’s helped build in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With each of the three “Spider-Man” films well-received by audiences and critics, and changes to the franchise coming in a potential fourth installment — both in Peter’s status quo and potentially with director Jon Watts not officially attached — it seems Holland doesn’t want to rush into something that isn’t right for the character. MCU and Spider-Man fans might be sad about potentially waiting longer for a new film, but it sounds like significant thought and care are being put into the project to see it done correctly. Currently, “Spider-Man 4” doesn’t have a release date.
