Tom Holland recently shared an exciting update about Spider-Man 4 during an interview on the Rich Roll Podcast.
He revealed that he’s read the latest draft of the script and is more excited than ever to bring Peter Parker back to the big screen.
The Spider-Man star has grown not only in his acting career but also in his influence on the creative direction of the movie.
Holland explained how this new level of control has been both empowering and challenging, saying he’s working hard to ensure that the film does justice to both the fans and the character.
Holland’s six-picture contract with Sony and Marvel was a dream come true when he signed it at just 18.
Now, with more freedom, Holland is carefully navigating his choices for Spider-Man 4, ensuring that it fits within the bigger Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) plans while also reflecting his personal growth as an actor.
With Spider-Man 4 reportedly set to film alongside Avengers: Doomsday, it looks like Peter Parker will have a major role in the upcoming Avengers crossover.
Holland’s Role in Creative Process
Holland hinted that he’s had to put his foot down more than before. This means that he’s been involved in some of the creative decisions for Spider-Man 4, making sure the story will resonate with the audience and remain true to the character’s evolution.
“I want to make many more [Spider-Man movies], but I want to do it for the right reasons,” he explained.
Script Progress & Zendaya’s Role
According to Holland, the third draft of the Spider-Man 4 script is “excellent,” though there are still some elements that need tweaking. Zendaya, who plays MJ, has also been actively involved in reading the script, sparking excitement as they discussed it together.
Holland said they were “bouncing around the living room” while going over certain scenes, underscoring the passion behind the project.
Production Timeline Challenges
While Holland is eager to get started, there are many moving parts. He acknowledged the urgency of fitting Spider-Man 4 within the broader MCU timeline, calling it “a small cog in a large machine.”
Despite the tight calendar, Holland remains optimistic, saying the cast and crew are “working pedal to the metal” to meet their goals. Rumors suggest filming might begin in May 2025, with a potential release date in July 2026.
