Tom Holland Confirms SPIDER-MAN 4 Script, But …
By Movieguide® Contributor
SPIDER-MAN 4 is in the works, and star Tom Holland can’t wait to get back in the suit.
In an interview on the Rich Roll podcast, Holland shared his thoughts on the new movie, which will be directed by Destin Daniel Cretton.
One of the biggest challenges is ensuring that the fourth installment fits into the already-established Marvel universe.
“One of the things is that, with Marvel, your film is a small cog in a large machine,” Holland said. “That machine has got to keep running. You need to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture…That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the fantastic people we have working on it now.”
The actor explained how he and his girlfriend, Zendaya, who stars as MJ in the SPIDER-MAN movies, read the script together and thought it was great, though it does still need some work.
“We have a creative and we have a pitch and a draft, which is excellent,” Holland said. “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job. I read it three weeks ago and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together and we at times were bouncing around the living room like this is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.”
The most recent SPIDER-MAN film, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME, released in 2021. Movieguide®’s review reads:
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is a wild ride. As the movie opens, Peter and his friends, MJ and Ned, are suffering the consequences of Mysterio’s lies from the last SPIDER-MAN movie. Because of the controversy Mysterio created, none of them are accepted into any colleges, including their first choice, MIT. Always thinking about his friends, Peter asks Dr. Strange for a spell to make everyone forget Peter Parker is Spider-Man. However, the spell goes wrong and starts bringing supervillains from other universes into Peter’s world.
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is filled with fun surprises and twists, plus lots of action. There’s plenty of serious jeopardy leading to stirring, sad and tearful moments. The performances are perfectly melded with the story’s twists and turns, including some surprise appearances. NO WAY HOME has a strong moral, redemptive premise that everyone deserves a second chance, even supervillains. In the movie, Aunt May inspires Peter to do the right thing and give the supervillains a second chance to set things right. SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has many light obscenities and profanities, intense action violence and occult content.
