‘Spider-Man 4’ Rumors Tease New Faces and a Surprising Shift of Screen Time for a Major Character

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is generating major buzz, but recent rumors suggest some potential challenges for the next Marvel installment. One of the biggest concerns revolves around Zendaya’s role as MJ.

Following the massive success of Spider-Man: No Way Home—which united three generations of Spider-Men and became a box-office phenomenon—a fourth film was a no-brainer.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting updates, and while official details remain scarce, industry insider Jeff Sneider has teased some intriguing developments for the highly anticipated sequel.

First, symbiotes are set to appear, likely connecting to the Venom storyline. This ties back to the post-credits scene in No Way Home, where a piece of the symbiote was left behind. While this opens the door for a potential crossover with Tom Hardy’s Venom, Sneider didn’t confirm if it would involve the version of the character from the SSU universe.

Charlie Cox is set to return as Daredevil in Spider-Man 4, which is exciting news for fans. His cameo in No Way Home already got people talking, and his return could be a great way to connect Marvel’s TV and movie universes. Fans have been eager to see Daredevil and Spider-Man team up, so this is definitely a welcome update.

There are also reports that Sacha Baron Cohen will join the cast as Mephisto, a demonic villain. Rumors about Cohen playing Mephisto have been circulating for a while, and it seems like Spider-Man 4 might finally introduce the character into the MCU. Some believe Mephisto could be the movie’s main villain, adding a supernatural twist to the story.

On a less exciting note, there’s a rumor that Zendaya’s role as MJ will be “severely reduced” in this film, which has left some fans feeling disappointed.

Zendaya’s reduced role might be due to her busy schedule, with major projects like Euphoria Season 3, Dune: Part Three, and a Christopher Nolan film on her plate. While understandable, it’s still disappointing for fans who wanted to see more of her character’s relationship with Peter Parker.

There’s also some concern about potential delays for Spider-Man 4. Tom Holland is reportedly set to star in a Christopher Nolan film as well, which could impact the movie’s production timeline. With whispers of delays already circulating, this news may frustrate fans eagerly awaiting the next installment.

At this point, these details are just rumors, and Marvel hasn’t confirmed anything yet. It’s best to take this information with a grain of salt until official announcements are made. Still, the mix of exciting news and concerns about Spider-Man 4 has fans eagerly awaiting more updates. Hopefully, more details will surface soon.
