Fans of the Spider-Man franchise have reason to be excited! Tom Holland recently offered a small but thrilling update about the highly anticipated Spider-Man 4. Speaking on the Rich Roll podcast this week, Holland revealed that he and his co-star and girlfriend, Zendaya, have already reviewed a draft of the movie’s script.
“We have a creative and a pitch and a draft, which is excellent,” Holland shared. “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job, and I read it three weeks ago. It really lit a fire in me.”
While Holland didn’t reveal specific plot details, he did confirm that the movie is still in the early stages of development. “Zendaya and I sat down and read it together, and at times we were bouncing around the living room like, ‘This is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect,’” he added. “But there are a few things we need to figure out before we can really get going, but it’s exciting, and I’m really excited about it.”
The next installment of the Spider-Man franchise is one of the most anticipated films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), especially after the immense success of Spider-Man: No Way Home. That film embraced the multiverse storyline, reuniting previous Spider-Man actors Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire, while also bringing back iconic villains such as Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin and Alfred Molina’s Doctor Octopus.
Whatever direction Spider-Man 4 takes, it’s likely to build on Peter Parker’s life after No Way Home. The film ended with Doctor Strange casting a spell that erased Peter Parker from the memories of all his loved ones, leaving fans eager to see how this will affect his future.
Holland hinted that while Spider-Man 4 is on the horizon, there’s still plenty of work ahead. He explained that the film is just “a small cog in a large machine” — the MCU — and coordinating such an ambitious project comes with its challenges.
While production is still a way off, Holland’s enthusiasm about the draft is a good sign. His excitement, along with Zendaya’s, shows that the movie is on the right track to deliver another thrilling chapter for the beloved web-slinger.
