Hey Marvel and Spider-Man fans! Brace yourselves for some thrilling update. Last month, we heard that Destin Daniel Cretton, whose recent hit was Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, might be directing Spider-Man 4. That’s right! With Jon Watts, who directed the first three Spider-Man movies, busy with different projects, Cretton seems to be the new choice.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. There’s a rumor floating around that Marvel Studios and Sony are not exactly seeing eye-to-eye on the direction Spider-Man 4 should take. Marvel is suggesting a more localized movie where Spider-Man partners with street-level hero Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil. Their plan is to pit this combo against Wilson Fisk a.k.a Kingpin, a popular villain. This plot would follow the actions of the upcoming Disney+ Daredevil series.
Sony, on the other hand, wants to take the story higher. They’re pushing for a high-risk, multi-dimensional journey, similar to Spider-Man: No Way Home. This adventure would blend the universes of Spider-Man and Venom, leading to a crossover. Sony wants the heroes to fight the villain Knull, who’ll be introduced in the upcoming Venom: The Last Dance. Knull is a god of darkness and creator of the symbiotes, which is pretty cool and terrifying!
Speaking of Venom, Tom Hardy, the star of Venom movies, recently expressed his enthusiasm for a Spider-Man crossovers. When asked about it, he answered, “Will we ever meet Spider-Man? You know… See, there are always possibilities.” He even stated his readiness to play against Tom Holland’s Spider-Man, adding that he would “never say never.”
Indeed, even though Venom: The Last Dance is the final movie in the Venom trilogy, Hardy isn’t ready to hang up his symbiote just yet. He said, “I’ve loved every moment of Eddie and Venom and I will readily play them anytime.” Hardy’s love for his characters is undeniable. So, it’s not hard to imagine him joining Spider-Man for a new adventure.
Now, let’s talk about Spider-Man himself. Tom Holland, our beloved Peter Parker, is super excited about Spider-Man 4. He admitted that after reading the draft script, he felt inspired and energized. Although he did mention that some work is needed, he assured fans that it’s a promising start.
So, the big question is will we see Venom and Knull join the Spider-Man universe? Even Venom: The Last Dance’s director, Kelly Marcel, hinted that Knull’s journey is only starting with this movie. This certainly raises the excitement level.
