Here’s how you do it and have a romantic lead in the movie

Throw in Black Cat

Armed with “a bunch of notes and ideas,” Holland had already sat in on a series of Spider-Man development meetings when the strike was called. “It was myself, Amy, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige, executive producer Rachel O’Connor, sometimes other executives from Marvel will sit in,” he says. “It’s a collaborative process. The first few meetings were about, ‘Why would we do this again?’ And I think we found the reason why. I’m really, really happy with where we’re at in terms of the creative.

“But I’m also a little apprehensive about it,” he adds. “There’s a bit of a stigma about the fourth one in all franchises. I feel like we hit a home run with our first franchise and there’s a part of me that wants to walk away with my head held high and pass the baton to the next lucky kid that gets to bring this character to life.”

His decision-making process no doubt involves taking a close look at what happened to the Spider-Men who came before him.

Tobey Maguire starred in three films — until, that is, his surprise return in 2021’s No Way Home — which was followed by a dip out of the limelight. And Andrew Garfield was let go from the franchise after his second effort, 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, disappointed at the box office (“disappointment” in Spider-Man terms meaning it only took in $700 million worldwide) but has bounced back with a deft and varied career that has spanned film, TV and theater and earned two Oscar nominations.

And then there’s yet another Spider-Man — Miles Morales, the Black and Latino webslinger introduced in the comics in 2011, who debuted on the silver screen (voiced by Shameik Moore) in 2018’s CGI-animated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. That film was a critical and commercial smash, earning $384 million worldwide. But the sequel, Across the Spider-Verse, which opened June 2, has shattered all expectations, already having made $236 million in its first week. Even Holland had to concede to a reporter at the Crowded Room premiere that the first Spider-Verse was “the best” Spider-Man movie ever made.

Pascal, who produces both franchises, says there’s plenty of room for both. “They’re completely separate worlds,” she says. As for merging them, “you never know. I would never say no to anything. But we have a lot of movies to make about Miles and a lot of movies to make about Peter,” she says. “I am a movie producer. I want to keep going with this franchise with Tom.”

One of his biggest cheerleaders — and closest confidants — is Benedict Cumberbatch, who as Doctor Strange shared significant screen time with Holland in No Way Home. They both live in London and spend time together as friends. “The boy’s got range,” says Cumberbatch, 46. “He knows what works, what stretches him and keeps his catalog varied and shows his ability to transform and surprise us all. So he’s not negatively affected by the branding of playing the superhero of all superheroes, which Spider-Man is, really. He’s asked me for advice every now and again, but he’s making brilliant calls and I’ve also asked for his on occasion.”

One conversation Holland still regrets not having was with Garfield immediately after Holland was named the new Spider-Man. “That’s because of my naivete as a kid,” he says. “I was 19 when I got cast. I was so caught up in getting the role that I never took any time to think about what it must have been like for him. If I’d made my second movie and it didn’t necessarily deliver in the way it should have done and they recast me, I would really struggle to bounce back. Andrew bounced back in the most unbelievable way. I just wish I’d called him and just said, ‘You know I can’t turn down this opportunity.’ “

He had a chance to talk things out with Garfield on the set of No Way Home, which we now know reunited all three original Spider-Men. “It was wonderful,” Holland says. “Myself, Andrew, Tobey — we have this amazing bond as three people who have been through something that is so unique that we really are like brothers. We have a great group chat and we catch up every now and then. It’s called the Spider-Boys.”

“Seriously?”

He grabs his phone and thumbs through text messages until he locates the Spider-Boys group chat.

“What’s the last thing you guys talked about?” I ask.

“I was doing a charity event in London for the Brothers Trust and I was asking if they would be so kind as to sign a poster to auction off. They were obviously happy to oblige,” he replies.

“Spider-Man stuff.”

“Yeah,” Holland says with a warm smile. “Spider-Man stuff.”

please just 1 singular movie where he not h**** or searching for a father figure

i hope he gets even more inspired seeing across the spiderverse and becomes the version of spiderman he really wants to be and relates to the most, cause the homecoming trilogy is just his avenger origin

I love that boy

spider-man being h**** is one his most iconic traits

need a scene of peter swinging around trying to find baddies on tinder around the city until he sees MJ on there too and swings right into a wall

Homecoming was as close to perfect Spider-Man as you could ask for.

FFH and NWH (aside from the cast and characters) realllllly fell off a cliff for me.

There has been absolutely zero web swinging or wall crawling in two films. Also zero NYC, which is truly one of the main pillars of Spider-Man as a character.

I hope we get back there with #4

Nah Peter getting b****es gotta stay

I’m starting to disagree with the whole discussion about Spider-Man needing to be on his own. It’s become the popular opinion of every critic of the Holland movies. This isn’t like the other Spidey movies this is one that takes place in a world where other heroes exist it’s in character that Peter would fanboy and look up to some of these guys.

Captain America had Black Widow & Fury in the sequel and an Avenger team up in the 3rd and never gets that criticism because unlike Spider-Man this is general audiences introduction to him.

That being said I still have my own issues with FFH & NWH but that’s more to do with some plot points. Spider-Man has had so many team ups in his publication history. Let them have fun with it before he inevitably goes back to Sony exclusively when the MCU reboots

With how the ending of the 3rd movie I’m guessing that 4 will be about Peter becoming a man. He lost his friends/family/mentors except strange iirc* and he’s living in an apartment.

Bet the movie is gonna have it start with him working a 9-5/ or having odd jobs while being more focused on his role as Spider-Man

EDIT: looks like the dates are for spin offs

It’s because the MCU needs him to be a leader imo, if he’s on his own for a min and becomes wiser dealing with situations that’s ideal

cause in each movie he’s went to somebody else for help instead of someone him

spider-man teaming up with other heroes is always dope

for the next trilogy though i think it’s been long enough since ASM2 i’d like to see new takes on the rest of spider-man’s regulars that haven’t been rebooted yet, we’re definitely overdue for a black cat

June date is 1000% Spidey 4

We gonna get a Spider-Man 2 type movie in the mcu with this

We should have gotten this movie this year

I feel like the most obvious title, given the ending of the last one, would be something like Spider-Man: Rebirth.
