While Tom Holland’s first Spider-Man trilogy is over, the actor still has a bright future in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and there is a major aspect of his movies as Peter Parker that has me extremely excited to watch Spider-Man 4. Spider-Man is my favorite Marvel hero. As a major fan of all three movie versions of the character, 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home was an absolute dream come true, and it stands as my favorite among all Spider-Man movies due to bringing the Spider-Men of my childhood together with Holland’s Peter Parker.

Tom Holland may have already hinted at the perfect storyline for Marvel Studios’ upcoming Spider-Man 4, though this could spell bad news for Peter Parker’s Spider-Man in the MCU. Tom Holland debuted as Peter Parker in 2016’s Captain America: Civil War, after Marvel Studios and Sony brokered a deal to bring Spider-Man into the MCU.

Since then, Spider-Man has become a key figure in the MCU, embarking on his own solo trilogy, and having a major role in Infinity War and Endgame, but, following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, the future of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man is less certain. Spider-Man: No Way Home saw Peter Parker deal with a major multiversal threat, which ended with everyone in the world forgetting his identity.

This included his friends, Ned Leeds, MJ and Happy Hogan, leaving him completely alone as Marvel Studios plans the MCU’s Spider-Man 4. Little is known about Spider-Man 4, but there are several stories the project could explore, whether it be focusing on the multiverse, or developed as a street-level adventure. Whatever the case may be, Tom Holland may have already hinted at a major event in Spider-Man 4 that would change the landscape of the MCU forever.
