In the dynamic world of superhero cinema, the spotlight swirls unpredictably. Marvel aficionados recently found themselves ensnared in a whirlwind of anticipation as Sony teased a fresh Spider-Man venture and cemented a collaboration with My Hero Academia. Yet, amidst this flurry, a conspicuous vacancy prevails the absence of Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4.
Marvel’s penchant for suspense leaves fans teetering on the brink, but the prolonged silence surrounding the 27-year-old’s next web-slinging escapade prompts speculation about the studio’s focal points.
Spider-Man Manga Collaboration With My Hero Academia Is Officially Confirmed
The Spider-Man and My Hero Academia crossover fans have been waiting for is now officially happening. Fans of both of these franchises can celebrate because there’s a new Spider-Man manga on the way, and it’s bringing a mash-up of superhero worlds.
The creative duo Hideyuki Furuhashi and Betten Court, known for My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, have joined forces again for Spider-Man: Octo-Girl. In this wild story, Dr. Octopus finds himself in the body of a child, setting the stage for some unexpected adventures.
Originally released in Japan last summer, the English version is finally hitting the shelves, thanks to Viz Media. Spider-Man: Octo-Girl, written by Hideyuki Furuhashi and illustrated by Betten Court, is set to drop this fall, promising a fresh and amusing take on the Spider-Man universe.
Currently boasting 13 chapters in Japan, the Spider-Verse series introduces us to an unusual predicament for the iconic Spider-Man villain, Doctor Octopus.
After a showdown with Spider-Man, the genius scientist ends up in a coma. But when he wakes up, he’s inside the body of Otoha Okutamiya, a middle school girl in Tokyo. And so, the not-so-typical school life of Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis begins most unexpectedly.
Now, while fans are eagerly anticipating this exciting crossover, it’s hard to ignore the apparent delay in updates about Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4. Marvel seems to be taking its time with the much-anticipated sequel, leaving fans curious and wondering about the direction the studio is heading.
As the Spider-Man universe expands with new and unexpected collaborations, the lack of news on Holland’s front has become quite conspicuous.
Marvel’s Delay On Tom Holland’s Spider-Man 4 Is Notable
Marvel’s taking its sweet time with Holland’s Spider-Man 4, and fans are starting to notice. Fans are itching for updates on Spidey’s next big-screen adventure, but Marvel’s sluggishness has got them scratching their heads.
Meanwhile, Sony’s dropping hints about new Spider-Man stuff left and right, and now there’s even a collaboration with My Hero Academia in the mix. It’s like everyone’s jumping on the web-slinging bandwagon except for Spider-Man 4.
So, what’s the deal with Spider-Man 4? Well, it seems like it’s definitely in the cards. Producer Amy Pascal made that clear back in May 2023, and Holland himself confirmed it’s in the works, though still in the early stages.
But as of January 2024, we’re still in the dark about when it’s hitting theaters. Originally, folks thought it might swing into cinemas by July 2024, but things got tangled up with the Hollywood SAG-AFTRA strike, delaying production for a bunch of Marvel projects. Now, there’s talk of getting things rolling again in 2024.
With all these other Spider-Man projects buzzing around, it’s hard not to wonder why Spider-Man 4 seems to be stuck in limbo.
Maybe Marvel’s got some master plan we don’t know about, but fans can’t help but wonder what’s up with the delay and what it means for the future of Holland’s Spidey.
