Everyone’s favorite friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, aka Tom Holland, is back and spilling the beans—or at least a tiny handful—on the fourth Spider-Man movie. Holland swung by Good Morning America on October 23, grinning like Peter Parker caught in a love triangle, to dish out just enough info to leave fans dangling by a thread.
“All I can say is, it’s happening,” Tom declared with the kind of certainty you’d expect from a man who just discovered Wi-Fi after a power outage. He shared this revelation while casually promoting Bero, his new non-alcoholic beer, which presumably pairs well with saving the world and dodging spoilers. 🍻
After a lot of brainstorming—probably involving a lot of snacks and a wall of sticky notes—Tom and the creative team decided the idea was solid enough to move forward. “We’re going in,” he confirmed, sounding like someone about to bungee jump without checking the cord twice. Production is set to kick off next summer, so start practicing your upside-down kisses now. 😘
And here’s the kicker: “The idea is crazy,” Tom teased, making it sound like Spider-Man 4 might just be part movie, part fever dream. “It’s a little different from what we’ve done before, but I think the fans are going to love it.” If that’s not a cryptic hint, then I don’t know what is. Could it involve Spider-Man fighting crime with a pet raccoon? Web-slinging in space? Or just Spidey trying to file his taxes on time? Only time will tell.
Now, if that’s not enough to get you tangled up in excitement, Tom also shared his thoughts on the Robert Downey Jr. making his Marvel comeback—but not as Iron Man. No, no! RDJ is reportedly slipping into the villainous shoes of Victor von Doom (aka Doctor Doom), because why stop at billionaire philanthropist when you can also play a megalomaniacal dictator? “Obviously delighted,” Tom said with a grin that screamed, ‘Yes, please give us RDJ in a cape.’
This new flick marks the first Spider-Man movie since 2021’s No Way Home, where Tom teamed up with Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in the ultimate Spider-Verse crossover. Remember that heartwarming moment when three generations of Spider-Men gave each other emotional pep talks? Yeah, grab your tissues again, if Spider-Man 4’s plot is anything like Tom says, things are about to get wild(er).
So buckle up, true believers. It sounds like this movie will either be the cinematic equivalent of a wild roller coaster ride or, at the very least, the most entertaining chaos we’ve ever seen on-screen.
