On February 5, Tom Holland stirred excitement on social media, hinting at a ‘big announcement tomorrow.’ Fans eager for updates on ‘Spider-Man 4’ were surprised to learn that Holland’s announcement centered around his return to London’s West End in Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo And Juliet.’
Some people shared their disappointment on X, with one writing:
“So, the big announcement wasn’t ‘Spider-Man 4.’”
Marvel Fans Are Upset To See The Play’s Possible Effect On ‘Spider-Man 4’ Release
The last ‘Spider-Man’ film featuring Tom Holland, released in 2021, received huge success with a worldwide box office revenue of $1.9 billion. Despite Marvel’s confirmation of a new installment, uncertainties linger about the timeline for its development. So, another fan’s comment on the actor’s new project read:
“Nah, man. We wanted ‘Spider-Man 4,’ not this s**t.”
Holland’s upcoming play, directed by Jamie Lloyd and produced by Jamie Lloyd Company, is slated for a 12-week run from May 2024 to August 2024. This extended commitment to the stage has implications for Marvel/Sony’s plans for ‘Spider-Man 4,’ leading fans to speculate on a potential release delay.
Disheartened by the upcoming play’s schedule, someone shared:
“May till August, ‘Spider-Man 4’ isn’t happening till at least 2026.”
What We Know About The Upcoming Spider-Man Film
The final scenes of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ saw Peter Parker embarking on a new path, all alone and forgotten, after saving his friends and the multiverse. The expectation is that Holland will reprise his role in the fourth installment, alongside Zendaya as MJ.
Talks swirl about who might sit on the director’s chair in the upcoming film. It’s not clear whether Jon Watts will return to the franchise or names like Sam Raimi will take over the role as some fans suggest.
As there’s also no official word on when ‘Spider-Man 4’ will start development, guesses on a possible release date remain uncertain. Still, rumors hint at a late 2024 production, aligning with Holland’s current schedule, which only lists his ‘Romeo And Juliet’ play for the upcoming summer.
So the big announcement wasn’t Spider-Man 4 😐
