You would think that making Spider-Man 4 is a slam dunk. The last live-action Spider-Man movie crossed the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, helped in part by the reunion of the three actors cast as Peter Parker. There’s a reason why Spider-Man: No Way Home ranks so high on our list of the best Spider-Man movies ever made. I sincerely loved where Spider-Man: No Way Home left Tom Holland’s version of Peter, forgotten by everyone who has ever loved him and forced to live on his own, finding solace in his heroism as Spidey. Again, making another film seems like a no-brainer move, but Holland is now saying that he has reservations.
There are a handful of reasons why Spider-Man 4 is in limbo. For one thing, the ongoing writer’s strike means that developments on a potential screenplay can’t happen. Also, the schedule of upcoming Marvel movies seems to have been built on shifting sands, with release dates constantly changing and the order of stories moving forward and back. While Holland waits for news on the status of Spider-Man 4, he’s talking to the press, and expressing valid concerns about the sequel.
