MCU Fans Pitch Their Epic Ideas For Tom Holland's Spider-Man 4

Following a recent update from Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige regarding Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4, fans have been sharing some truly epic pitches and ideas online. Following Spider-Man: No Way Home, which concluded Peter Parker’s first trilogy in the MCU, Spider-Man 4 will reportedly be the start of a brand-new trilogy with a massively different status quo for the iconic Webslinger. As such, it seems as though many are looking for a more grounded Spider-Man 4 that includes some very exciting allies and villains.

Following the Spider-Man 4 update from Kevin Feige, who revealed development has recently begun (« writers are just putting pen to paper now »), fans have gone online with their best pitches for the upcoming movie. Based on several of the ideas presented, it seems the majority are unified in regard to a handful of exciting core concepts. Read the tweets below:

Clearly, Daredevil is the core MCU hero fans want to see joining forces with Peter Parker in Spider-Man 4. It would certainly pay off their relationship in No Way Home where Matt Murdock was Peter’s lawyer. However, some other exciting heroes and villains could also work as well.

Fans Want Daredevil, Venom, and Scorpion For MCU’s Spider-Man 4

Connected to the idea of Daredevil finally teaming up with Spider-Man in the MCU as they frequently do in the comics, it looks as though fans want to see Kingpin as the core villain while potentially throwing in The Punisher as well. Likewise, revisiting the No Way Home post-credits scene in which a piece of Venom was left behind looks to be a big hope as well. It would certainly be exciting to see Spider-Man wearing a black suit ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, as the classic comic story was the black goo’s first appearance.

Another hanging thread fans would like Spider-Man 4 to tackle would be bringing back Michael Mando as Mac Gargan. Featured in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Gargan’s evolution into the Scorpion was teased but never seen. As such, it’s been theorized that Kingpin could hire Gargan and provide him with his suit, a relationship that would justify a Daredevil/Spider-Man team-up. It’s also worth noting that Gargan once became a host to the Venom symbiote in the comics as well.

There are also some interesting ideas surrounding Kraven the Hunter, a Clone Conspiracy arc with Peter Parker encountering his clone Ben Reilly, as well as finally bringing Felicia Hardy’s Black Cat to the screen. Likewise, there’s also just a general excitement to see more scenes where Tom Holland’s Spider-Man swings through the city streets of New York. Although Spider-Man 4 doesn’t yet have an announced release date, it’s exciting to know that development is well underway.
