Breaking down all the biggest Spider-Man rumors and news of December

Spider-Man 4 and Beyond the Spider-Verse are rumored to be a long way off

Unfortunately, it appears the highly-anticipatedSpider-Man 4could suffer from a delayaccording to new reports. Marvel and Sony originally announced Tom Holland's next stand-alone MCU adventure would be released on Jul. 24, 2026. However, it appears that no longer is the case as we might be looking at a five-year gap minimum betweenNo Way Homeand its upcoming follow-up. The reasoning behind the delay is Marvel and Sony wantSpider-Man 4to be even better than its predecessor, which is great! Unfortunately, they are facing script issues and this extra time will be used to ensure Spidey gets the best story possible.

If you ask me, I think it's the right move. If Sony felt confident enough to green-lit the script forMadame Weband they're not feeling secure about the script ofSpider-Man 4, then they should rework it by all means. We can wait, and meanwhile, we'll have other amazing Spider-Man-related projects to look out for such asYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,Spider-Man: Noir,Avengers: Doomsday(where Tom Holland will reprise his role as Peter Parker), and, of course,Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Speaking of which...

The upcoming Spider-Verse movie was recently confirmednot to be released in 2025. While we all saw it coming from a mile(s) away, it's disappointing to know we'll have to wait even longer. On the bright side, this delay is also for a very good reason. Sony is putting "a lot of tender loving care" into the movie, and they don't want to rush the end product. It's the right move considering over 100 artists quit mid-production onSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Versedue to unsustainable conditions like working 11 hours a day, seven days a week. Now we can have an amazing cinematic experience without it coming at the expense of the animators' health.
