Spider-Man is keeping awfully busy these days. Multiple live-action movie franchises led to a multiversal crossover adventure in Spider-Man: No Way Home, while in animation, the multiverse was already old hat thanks to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which assembled all sorts of Spider-Man variants. Both universes have new movies in the pipeline, but a new update teases the revival of a third Spider-Man series — and arguably his most iconic actor.
In July 2025, a fan on X asked Mattson Tomlin, co-writer of The Batman: Part II, if he had a strong idea for a Spider-Man movie. “Honestly right now my main interest in this respect would be to write a Spider-Man 4 where Tobey’s Spider-Man is juggling being a husband and a father,” Tomlin responded. “Spider-Man as a father is where I gravitate towards given the last 8 films.”
