Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 is underway, and a resident Avenger is rumored to be joining Peter Parker in his missions. Many fans have been expecting Charlie Cox’s Daredevil to work with Parker, especially after his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
With Spider-Man 4 already brewing at the headquarters, there is only the question of who will return and who will join the next chapter in Parker’s life. He’s teamed up with several Avengers in the past, but who could be his ally this time?

Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man Is Reportedly Joining Spider-Man 4
As per industry insider DanielRPK, Marvel Studios is reportedly considering Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man to join Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4. While this remains to be confirmed, fans speculate that the character’s addition to the movie would potentially lay the groundwork for Avengers: Kang Dynasty.
After surviving the Quantum Realm, Ant-Man would have to assemble a new league of heroes to fight against a greater threat like Jonathan Majors’ Kang The Conqueror. Many feel that the character’s possible cameo does not make any sense, but who knows what Marvel Studios has in store for fans?
Meanwhile, Holland has seemingly confirmed that there had been discussions about the return of the famed superhero, though he did not give any specifics as to the crucial details of the project. He said during a press conference with the Critics Choice Association via Deadline:
“All I can say is that we have been actively engaging in conversations about what it could potentially look like for a fourth rendition of my character. Whether or not we can find a way to do justice to the character is another thing.”
Kevin Feige also announced back in February that the writers have already been weaving the script for Spider-Man 4 via Entertainment Weekly:
“All I will say is that we have the story. We have big ideas for that, and our writers are just putting pen to paper now.”
Holland remains enthusiastic about reprising his role as Spider-Man after his long break from Marvel Cinematic Universe. He admits owing his success to the franchise, and it would be foolish not to suit up again, so he is willing to make another movie once they find the right story to tell.
Fans Aren’t Thrilled With Ant-Man Rumors In Upcoming Spider-Man 4
The report of Paul Rudd’s Ant-Man joining Spider-Man 4 seems to upset fans. Many believe it is unnecessary to put him together with Peter Parker, while others think there are many street-level heroes more deserving of the spot. Check out their reactions below:
Daredevil makes more sense I think

I don’t understand what the point is in considering Ant-man where there are other, more street level heros that are available like DD, Punisher, Jessica Jones…

I thought they wanted Spider-man 4 to be darker? Putting Antman (a very comedic character) in there will ruin that darker Spider-man story everyone wants.

If they have to have a cameo, why not Daredevil? At least he has a prior appearance and could be worked seamlessly into the story. Though, that hinges on if any of this is true.

Why can’t we just get Daredevil that’s good enough, that’ll make the fans happy and it’ll save Marvel Studios extra money from paying Paul Rudd.

Omg we literally got Daredevil for No Way Home. We could see a grounded connection with Kingpin to Spider-Man. Ant-Man makes no sense unless they have a great story for it.

Charlie Cox’s Daredevil has been a popular bet among fans to join Spider-Man 4 following his MCU debut, though Ant-Man’s potential cameo may also be beneficial in the long run. As with any rumors, this should be taken with a small grain of salt.
