Spider-Man No Way Home’s release and the subsequent insane reaction from Marvel fans,
it’s now time to look to the future and speculate what is going to happen next with the Spider-Man
universe. There are some confirmed future projects, some rumors, and I also have
some theories and speculations that I want to go over for what is coming next for this character,
and the various iterations of him. So, let’s get into this.
Ok first things first let’s start off with Tom Holland and the MCU Spider-Man. A while back
there were reports that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man will have an entirely new trilogy coming up,
but more recently Tom Holland has been saying that he doesn't know if he’s returning as the
character. Personally I don’t really believe this, I guarantee you Marvel wants to make
more Tom Holland Spider-Man movies and based on some other reports I imagine they're just
keeping stuff a bit under wraps because there are currently negotiations going on behind the scenes,
but ultimately I’m 99% sure we’re getting more Tom Holland Spider-Man appearances and movies.
So where do you take the character from where he ended in No Way Home? There are a few directions
you could take this, one would be a soft reboot, since No Way Home essentially wipes
this Spider-Man’s world clean, no one knows his identity, he’s lost his aunt, so if they want to
take this in a direction of Peter Parker finding a new life and us getting a new supporting cast,
maybe a Gwen Stacy, an Eddie Brock, etc, we could see that. However, given the popularity of Jacob
Batalan and Zendaya in particular as supporting characters and the time these films have spent
establishing them, I would be very surprised if they went in this direction and just straight up
abandoned those characters. I think it could be a combination of the two, where we get new
characters and a bit of a new story but the MJ and Ned characters are still an element of the
plot and by the end somehow regain their memories of Peter. I think they set that up at the end when
MJ’s like say I love you too when you see me again or whatever, I think that's gonna be a big moment,
and yeah like I said, while they may lean in a new direction, I doubt they’d get rid
of all that stuff set up by this first trilogy. I do think these films will focus on Peter being
an adult now like the first three focused on his high school life, so he is living on his own,
going to college, etc. And I think we may have a bit of a toned down next Spider-Man film
in comparison to No Way Home. It’d be hard to do something more extreme but I think this
one might be more of a classic Spider-Man film since we just had this crazy climatic event and
now can’t really go much higher. So maybe he takes on Kraven the Hunter
or another villain who we haven’t seen yet. That's just what I suspect,
and we have no news on this but just based on previous release dates and upcoming MCU projects,
if I had to guess I’d say we will probably see the MCU’s Spider-Man 4 sometime in summer 2024.
Alright that's the Tom Holland side of things. Now to the other Spider-Men. The more simple one
is Tobey Maguire, because I don’t think we’re gonna be seeing him again, or if we do it’ll
be in a minor part. I don’t think Tobey Maguire is interested in returning to do a Spider-Man 4
or something like that, he’s barely done any movies in the past 7 years actually.
I wouldn't be too surprised if we saw a cameo in Multiverse of Madness, just because that movie is
apparently gonna be cameo city and since its being directed by Sam Raimi that could be a nice touch.
But overall I’d guess don’t expect tons of new Tobey Maguire Spider-Man content,
I think his story is also pretty wrapped up especially based on what he said in No Way Home.
Now much as Spider-Man swings in to protect helpless civilians from the evils of crime and
supervillainy, NordVPN can swing in to protect your online activity from being tracked and
used against you, think of what kind of creepy characters could find out your IP address if
you don’t have NordVPN. Peter Parker loves all things pop culture and entertainment, and I bet
he wishes he could access all the entertainment that's on your favorite streaming services but
in different countries, it’s so annoying when it says this content is not available in your region,
well NordVPN can help you with that too, giving you access to content from streaming services from
all these countries around the world. Everyone's got a VPN these days, it's a no brainer win win,

The one that I am quite sure we’ll be seeing more of is Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, for
lots of reasons. 1, the MCU these days especially is spinoff crazy, I mean if there is any character
that there seems to be fan interest in, they are getting some kind of spinoff, a movie, a show,
whatever, everything and everyone is getting their backstory explored and having fun hijinks. And
this is just a no brainer, the internet response to Garfield’s performance and return has been
crazy, and rightly so he was amazing in No Way Home, people are starting to change their minds
on his movies, which I always find a little funny how the Internet flip flops on how they felt about
a movie when something new related to it comes out, like if you liked these movies it's fine,
if you didn't it's also fine! But anyway, Andrew Garfield also still seems keen to play the part,
he looks like he hasn't aged a day since TASM 2, and best of all his story isn’t really complete.
Based on what he says in No Way Home there are some unresolved parts to his character
that could be interesting to explore in a sequel. And there are elements of that universe that work,
I’m not confident Sony would pick up on and focus on but who knows. Now I have a crazy idea for this
movie, and by crazy idea I mean I’m sure it has been thought of by thousands of people, but it
just makes all the sense in the world to me. Tom Hardy Venom when transported back to his universe
is somehow through some multiverse fumbling accidentally sent to Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man
universe, and then we have a Andrew Garfield Spider-Man Tom Hardy Venom fighting and/or
team up movie, how amazing does that sound. Both great casting choices in less than great films
in my opinion, both very charismatic actors, both fun characters that are kind of self deprecating
and seen a little bit as the lamest in their respective worlds, and I feel like this crossover
has so much more potential than another standalone film for either of them. With both the TASM series
and the Venom films to me they feel a little bit like they're half a good movie and half not a
good movie, relatively speaking I like TASM 1 and really dislike Venom 2, so bring them together,
you can cut out that fat and just use the best of both worlds. And I feel like they would just have
great chemistry and be fun on screen, that's all I’m saying. But anyway, that's my personal wish,
but I’m 85% sure we’re gonna be seeing Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man again in a big way, I think
Marvel was thinking of doing it anyway, and I think now they’ve seen the reaction he got they’d
be crazy not to. Will it be confusing having two concurrent Spider-Man universes going at once,
maybe, but also after No Way Home I think most people would get it or at least go along with it,
and superhero movies aren’t exactly known for not having confusing continuities so
hey I say go for it, I’m definitely here for it. Now as far as seeing these 3 Spider-Men teaming
up again, I don’t think it's impossible? Again I think Marvel pays close attention to what the
fans like and you don’t have to be looking very closely to see that people enjoyed these three
together. Again one thing that I think might stop it is I don’t know if Tobey Maguire would want to
keep coming back for more of these but who knows, he seemed to have enjoyed his experience on No Way
Home. I kind of doubt we get a full team up movie but seeing them pop up teaming up again in some
big event film like an Avengers Endgame style movie where they call on all heroes from all
different multiverses, or maybe at the end of a future Spider-Man film where somehow Tom can
call on their help, I can see that. Story wise I’m not sure how you do that but it's the multiverse,
anything can happen really. And again maybe they’ll pop up in Multiverse of Madness
but officially my prediction is I don’t think we’ll get like a full movie of them teaming up.
Finally there are other Spider-Man things coming up, Venom 3 has been confirmed which I’m still
hoping somehow will get folded into TASM 3 if they were to make it, there were rumors of talks of an
MJ spinoff, an Electro spinoff (I told you the MCU is spinning everything off), obviously Morbius we
have coming up and other Sony Marvel properties in that Venom Morbius world.
I don’t really know about all that, like I said if we combine the Amazing Spider-Man universe with
this Morbius Venom-verse that could be something, although Michael Keaton is in Mobius so who knows,
nothing means anything with superhero continuity. That stuff’s all a bit
confusing but the more important stuff that I'm most interested in I think I've covered here.
So, those were my thoughts on the future of the Spider-Man universe. What do you think will happen
with these characters and this world? Let me know all of your thoughts down below in the comments.
